Error Initializing MME Buffers

[mikewahlquist]

n-track has been working fine for a long time. then i tried the demo for powertracks and all of a sudden i am getting the "Error Initializing MME Buffers" message whenever i click the play button in n-track. What did i do to myself? did powertracks mess up my drivers? Thanks.

fixed by reinstalling n-track

i took the easy way out and re-installed n-track and now it works again. not the most elegant solution but it worked.

Goto .... File > Settings> Preferences > Audio Devices (or just hit Ctrl+P and the Audio Devices button).
Click advanced .... make sure to show all drivers (i.e. WDM, ASIO etc.) Click OK.
MME drivers are about the worst drivers but, depending on the OS you are using, might be your only choice.
If you can, select the WDM drivers for both playback and record.
If you are stuck with using MME, back under advanced, de-select the option to keep audio devices open.
In the event that all fails, back in the preferences you can click the BIG button "revert preferences to the default settings".
After doing that you will need to go back through and set your drivers and buffers along with all other personal preferences.

Yeah ... or that.

Glad you got it back.
