Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks! I'll give that a shot tonight.

[smcnally75]

I updated DirectX to the latest and at first the file played for about 20 seconds and then XBMC crashed. It crashed again when I tried to play the file again. Here's the debug log. http://pastebin.com/m294d41ec

CWin32DirectSound::Initialize: Couldn't create secondary buffer (DSERR_CONTROLUNAVAIL). Trying without LOCHARDWARE.

this error is definition is

DSERR_CONTROLUNAVAIL
The buffer control (volume, pan, and so on) requested by the caller is not available. Controls must be specified when the buffer is created, using the dwFlags member of DSBUFFERDESC.

try too install the latest audio drivers for your motherboard. It might fix the problem.

I will try this now and report back. I have to ask though....Why is this suddenly an issue when it never was until a few weeks ago?

[smcnally75]

Ok...Updated to the latest audio and video drivers for my system and it still crashes. Anyone else have any ideas? Is there really nobody else having this issue??

[smcnally75]

Just tested this against all 3 audio devices I have and it crashed with every one of them.

You aren't, by any chance, running on a Vista system that is synching playback to display, are you? I can't imagine that would be the problem, but tossing ideas out there is always fun.

[smcnally75]

Nope, I'm running Windows XP SP3 and not syncing to the display. I don't know if it is related, but i just played an ISO, paused it for about 10 minutes, and when I came back XBMC had crashed.
