Often when im using SM and i select the File - Close option i get a bug report message after the app has closed, this has happend for a long time now through lots of the versions of SM that i have used, As far as i know this only seems to happen after i have overdrived or had clicking in a synth and then select the option.

I have said about this before so - bump 🙂

No - happens every single time i close SM here. Yes every single time i have ever closed SM since i downloaded it the first time this happens, The reason i haven't bothered reporting it is it never effects me, It doesn't effect any saved files so its what i call a freindly crash, It doesn't leave any rogue tasks running so no probs.

It does happen every single time on all my PCs though

AMD 350 k62 128 meg AMD 450 K62 128 meg P3 800 128 meg P4 3.2 1024 meg AMD 1.2 TBird 1024 meg AMD 1.4 TBIRD 1024 meg 1.7 Centrino 512 meg

That list is in order of performance for audio 🙂

Probably should report it but i spent 4 years reporting the same bug to E-ON about Vue and everyfix they created did the same thing 🙂 lol Like i said it dont bother me anymore (If it starts eating saves and stuff i'll start screaming 🙂 )

Yeah i don't really care much but it has never been fixed so i thought i would bump this 🙂

I think it is to do with clicking/distortion when testing the audio, i have tested and i did not get a crash sometimes if i did not hear any, if i did i got a bug report message.

Yeah, we'd noticed this too (hard not to in 🙂)

We *think* it's down to the DirectSound. As you've seen it doesn't affect anything but we definitely need to get rid of it. The problem is that it doesn't happen all the time here and that makes it difficult to know whether you've fixed it.

I tried a fix in the latest release but I guess you all still have it happening in 0.9.3n?

NAS, you say this happens every time to you? Can you try something for me? Just load up the software with an empty schematic (you can set this in the options if you haven't already done so) then allow the toolbox to load and close SM. Does it crash then?

Does anyone else have this happen all the time as opposed to just occasionally?

Thanks

Malc to answer your question No it doesn't:) I have also rounded it down to multiple OSMs, If i only open one it doesn't crash but if i create a new or open a second OSM BOOM it does it again.

Hope this helps 🙂

People, I think I may have tracked down the problem. Well, I've definitely found something that is wrong and corrected it but whether there are other forces of evil at work remains to be seen 🙂. Would you mind giving the latest version a go to see if it gets rid of the problem?

The problem I corrected was related to graphics resources so nothing to do with DirectSound.

Let me know how you get on. Thanks.

I'll give it a whirl, cheers jorge 🙂
