My Solution to Winamp Crashes
 

Winamp has always been the only music program I know and want to use which is why it distressed me so much that It owuld crash after playing about 5 songs. I'm hoping my problem/solution might help others as everything i tried just wouldn't work to solve the problem.

I've had the problem for ages I just gave up using it until today where I think I've fixed it.

I run Vista 64. I read something about Vista not supporting direct sound in these forums. As a random dig at getting my beloved music player back in operation I opened up preferences and changed the 'output' setting from DirectSound to WaveOut Output.

This tony little change has seemed to completely clear the problem. Don't ask my why but I assume it has something to do with Vista not supporting DirectSound as somebody said on these forums.

So all in all I'm a very happy person right now and I hope this information helps someone solve the same nightmare I had.


Peace all.
