Error MMSYSTEM004???

14th September 2000, 23:46

my winamp has been working fine for months. Then I go to play a song today and it gives me an error message: MMSYSTEM004 The specified device is already in use.Please wait until it's free then try again. The top of the error message says: "Nullsoft waveOut plug-in v2.o2 (x86)". What the fuck is going on? Somebody help me out.

I am getting sick of this... There should be a separate read-only bugs forum containing important threads copied from other forums. Most people don't understand the difference between 'bug repots forum' and 'tech support forum'.
... and about mmsystem004 - look here: http://forums.winamp.com/ubb/Forum13/HTML/000797.html
Also MAKE SURE that there are no other programs using your sound card. If you have SBlive, go to AudioHQ / device controls and set higher maximum simultaneous Wave playback.
