Need help... while attempting to play a previously recorded project, I get this message:
An error ocurred while starting playback.
The request is not enabled for this devise.
It doesn't matter if I hit the space bar or the mouse to click on the play button... I still receive the same message.
All/any help is greatly appreciated.
THANKS!

I didn't get this issue resolved... it worked for a short while and now it's doing the same thing. I'm at a loss and just want to move onto a program that actually works :-(

The program 'works'. There is a problem with your particular install or system. Hopefully we can fix it.

Firstly have you got hte latest drivers for your audio interface ? ASIO drivers ?

Is the ASIO driver setting on your interface the same as your project settings (Sample-rate and bit-depth) ?

Thanks for your help.
How do I check to see if I have the latest drivers?

It appears that I have the latest driver installed.
I went into File>Properties>Audio and noticed that the sample rate was 48,000. I changed the sample rate to 44,100 and now the program is working.
Was the problem as simple as that and would you know how that happened?
Bit depth is 16, should that be 24?
Thanks!

This is all dependent on the audio hardware and it's drivers.

What audio device are you using? Your profile says Echo Gina.

What driver model are you using in ACID? Are you using the ASIO or Wave drivers?

I am surprised that the Gina did not support 48 khz. Are you also using the Gina as your default windows audio device? This could prevent ACID from using a different sample rate than what Windows has it opened for.

I can answer one of those questions... I am not using the Echo Gina anymore... I am using a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2.
I don't know how to answer if I am using an ASIO or Wave driver.
Also, when I try to record... the signal recorded is static filled.
I used to use this program a lot... wish it was still available.
What happened is, I moved... just can't get it up and running like it was.
Everything is wired exactly like it was... I am so ignorant about these things that I made sure I drew out the schematics and followed everything closely.
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Also...
When I arm a track to record... I hear reverb effects in the headphones and I have no effects active. What could that be? Thanks.
