Err: Nullsoft waveOut Plugin v2.02 (x86)

[hamster]

I am getting the above titled dialog box with the message "MMSYSTEM002 A device ID has been used that is out of range for your system". I get this when trying to play anything.

Help?

Here are a few things to try, I hope one will work for you.

First go get the newest drivers for your soundcard, go to the website of the manufacturer of your soundcard and they should be available there. Install them, and restart the computer, now try Winamp.

If it is still broke try.
Open Winamp
Press Ctrl + P
Click on "Nullsoft waveOut"
Press configure
In the drop down box switch it to what is not currently selected.
Press OK then close.

Still not fixed.
Open Winamp
Press Ctrl + P
Click on "Nullsoft DirectSound"
Press Close.

If you still have problems come on back and we'll see what else we can come up with.

Hi, I am getting the same error message. I tried the last two of your tips to no avail. I guess I should try the first, but I am not sure who my soundcard manufacturer is. How can I determine that? And do you have any other tips on how to solve the problem.
Thanks, Adrian

While I'm here, to find out your soundcard details, do as Tom says below, or:
System Control Panel -> Device Manager -> Sound, Video & Game Controllers
Your soundcard will be one of the devices listed here.
Hi-lite entry & click "properties" to check for details/settings/drivers/conflicts/etc.

Try looking in the manuals that came with your computer, or visit the website of your computers manufacturer, they might list what types of cards each model has.

I went directly to choice two (changing the output device for waveOut). Making the change did the trick. It was set to Wave Mapper and changing to either of the other two settings, both of which related to Crystal Sound (the sound chip I have), did the trick. Thanks for the help, Tom!

Wave Mapper is the recommended output for the module. What is that?

[bluetooth]

Wave mapper is something that is part of windows that is supposed to connect the wave stream (eg, winamp music) to some available sound hardware. Using wave mapper generaly helps avoid the problem you were having, but in this case it sounds like your sound drivers have problems. I hope this clarifies things.

The winamp crew is working on a solution to this right? ...
instead of just giving an alternative ...

Thanks for all of those great tips Tom, yet my player is still not working.

I went to the comp. maker's homepage and found my comp. model, but didn't see anything about a soundcard on there.
In the pull down menu for the output I only have the Winmapper as a choice. And when I change the out put to output to direct sound I get another error message.

I sure hope that Winamp is working on this problem because I even earsed the old winamp player that I have and downloaded a new one thinking that this would slove the problem, but it didn't. The player was working just a few days ago. I didn't play it for about a week and now it doesn't work.

Anyother suggestions of what to do would be a big help.

I tried both of those options and when i tried changing my output device i got another error message that said "could no create a direct sound object"....what the heck does that mean?

Help me please! I just wanna listen to my music!!

Try going to Winamp's preferences, output section, and selecting the 'Directsound Output' plug-in.

Other than that, what sound card do you have?

Hey Justin,

I believe that the problem has nothing to do with our soundcards especially those pple who have been saying that before 1.62 came out everything worked fine. Same with my case. I am currently using the Directsound Output plug-in, but that still doesn't solve the problem with waveOut v2.02
Please please check up on this and find the errors causing this instead of giving a way around it.
thanx

[MUSICKID]

above i meant 2.62... u get the point...

[lazyboy_0]

hi,
probably your soundcard is not installed properly. if your friend gets "sb16" it means he has a sound blaster 16. you will probably get something else, depending of your sound card. (ex. i get "ds-xg output").
try reinstalling your soundcard with the drivers you got as you bought the computer.
if winamp says it is not able to create the directsound object, try installing the last version of directx (download from http://www.microsoft.com/directx/hom...s/default.asp)
