Question : Problem: Soundmax Audio Cards crash after running Sibelius

Hi there,

I am running Sibelius 5 on HP DC5800 with the latest drivers and patches.

My problem is that I am able to run Sibelius perfectly only ONCE per reboot. After opening and closing Sibelius my sound card falls over (I am no longer able to select "Microsoft Wavetable GS Synth" under the playback devices within Sibelius, and therefore get no sound at all.

I have reproduced the same problem on several other dc5800s with the same problem coming up over and over.

Answer : Problem: Soundmax Audio Cards crash after running Sibelius

I found this to be an internal Sibelius issue, by using the "Microsoft Wavetable GS Synth" Device to play complex compilations it was causing the sound card to "crash". When using the Kontakt player for 16bit and 2x Kontakt players for 32bit no further crashes were experienced.
