Post all Sonic CD Burning/Ripping Engine bugs in this thread.

Ok, 4 people have come into #winamptech with this problem.

All of them were running Windows XP (i know 3 of them had xp pro). Winamp 5 would not start up for them, or take over 1.5 minutes to start up. Through process of elimination it was found that the Sonic option was causing winamp not to start.

Ok, 1 more person in #winamptech witht he same problem, running xp pro.

Ok, yet another person with the problem with Sonic.

That makes 7 people now.

Does this happen After you Reboot as well?

[Cheezychops]

I never thought of telling anyone to do that, I will ask the next person to come in with the problem to reboot, and we will see.

Btw, i wish i could provide more information, i run 2k myself, and my other computer runs XP pro on a 233 MHz, so i cant judge start up time on that. I will try to find a computer with XP pro to test it on.

Crash when ripping >1 cd at once

Not sure if this is the right place to post this, or wether i should be in the 5.01 bugs thread

ver - 5.01pro
OS - Win2ksp4
DX - 9.0b
gigabyte 7va mo bo/512mb ram/athlon1700+
gf4ti4200 8x w/ 128mb ram 52.16 drivers
sb live basic & avance ac97 for via sound.

I have 2 cd/dvd roms installed in my system, a pioneer 4x dvd reader & mitsubishi 40x32x10 cdrw. When i try to rip from both drives at once winamp crashes in < 10 seconds

it is always reproduceable.

Also, the new winamp looks good. good work ppl

Did you follow the links I posted?
Did you reboot before using the Sonic Engine?
Any other Sonic Solutions products installed?

Thanks for the log.

btw, yes, this is the right place to post all Sonic Ripping/Burning related bugs.


To all:

Please read "How to Write a Useful Bug Report" and the first post in the
"Winamp 5.0x Bugs" threads to ensure you post a fully detailed and valid bug report.
Be sure to also include CD/DVD drive make/model with your System Specs.
Your report is useless without this info.

[Galron]

Went through those links. re-did my px.dll, even though it was the same vertion as i alredy had with no joy. running px.dll ver 1.6.14.507

I do run v 4.5 of sonic foundry sound forge, but i think thats a different sonic. I cant think of anything else but will check other things that you request

System load while cd ripping

One thing that I have noticed is that while cd ripping my system becomes extreamly slow. I expect 100% cpu utilisation, however I belive that 2 days of cd ripping (20-30 odd cd's) has been the cause of a loss of system time in the order of 10+ minutes. To establish this as the cause I have not ripped a cd for several days and found my system in time. I use a time syncroniser prog for this task.

I have begun ripping cd's again, but am running winamp with a thread priority of below normal, rather than normal to see what affect this has. It may be something for the programming team to consiter for future releses adjuesting the thread priority either on the cd ripping part or on the whole winamp when ripping starts.

I will pass on my findings, whatever they are. I run the ripping at unlimmited speed in the ripping options

[Galron]

OK, after running as I said I would in the last post, running winamp with a below normal thread priority does not have the same affect on time (as mentioned) in my system as running with a normal thread priority. The system time did move on my system, but only several seconds rather than many minutes.

again a consiteration for developers for the next relese

I've had this problem too. First, the installer could warn that the Sonic installation would need Administrator's rights. Until I tried installing it as an admin, it just said something about 'problem installing components (-1)', then WA didn't run AT ALL. (even from installer to register something). I mean it was in the memory for 3-4 secs, then it silently vanished.

Installation w/out sonic worked perfectly.

Then I thought it would be a great idea to install from under administrator's account. So i did. The installation worked, but winamp still refused to start.

Then went to your site and saw this thread. I restarted my PC (this is what the Installer should do for me, i think). The I launched WA5, and it worked (startup time ~2/6 secs). Ripping also works.

And yes, I've always made the 'clean' install. And this was the matter with rc8 as well. That time I thought it was a beta-proble and it would be fixed for 5.0, and didn't run that at all.

And no, no cd-related programs running in background.

And no, I think no other Sonic products.

My specs: WindowsXP+sp1 featuring Winamp5.01, TEAC CD-W552E (rewriter), Cel 2Ghz, ram 256MB.
(if you're intrested, the video card is gf2mx400, audio is still ac97, mb: gigabyte 8pe800)
Other rippers/burners function correctly.

I've had a problem with the engine preparing the files Ok, but then when it tries to burn it comes up with "Error opening encoder in Winamp 2.x" - any ideas.
I'm running Win XP Pro, with 256mb(I think) memory, and a Freecom CD-RW
