Bug Reports & Support / Re: Error in sound initialization
« on: August 13, 2021, 09:21:18 AM »
I've had my own experience with this. It doesn't really make sense but I thought I should document it for others.
step 0: Play starsector the previous day, just before turning off PC.
Step 1: Next day, I installed the "free web version" of microsoft office.
Step 2: I installed libre office to compare later -- during installation, it claimed nvidia webhelper was using a file so I'd need to restart to complete installation.
Step 3: restart PC. After a little web browsing I try and run Starsector. Encounter this error. Running in admin mode did work, but I wanted to test this out, so I uninstalled libre office.
Step 4: restart PC and boot up starsector. Works perfectly.
Step 5: Install Libre Office again, this time without Nvidia webhelper forcing a restart. Starsector still works fine.
I had swapped to an MSI motherboard and reinstalled drivers lately, but as mentioned in step 0 I'd been playing starsector just fine. Libre Office is the only significant change to my system I'm aware of.
I'm left more than a little confused and can't replicate results, but MAYBE it has something to do with some kind of nvidia sound driver interaction? I'm using the integrated realtek stuff on my motherboard so that doesn't make sense either, but so be it.
