Asus Strix soundcard drivers causing crashes.

[UnknownMiscreant]

I have a Asus Strix Soar soundcard. For some reason having the Asus configuration utility running causes a few issues with audio detection if I reboot wallpaper engine. (This also occurs with rain meter audio detection.)

I have also noticed quite a few crashes related to the Asus drivers/configuration utility (based off the info in the crash alert.) For the past few days I have disabled the configuration utility and the issue hasn't occurred. Audio pickup also seems to be improved. I have a plethora of crash dumps if you want them.

Thanks.

This is not an issue with Wallpaper Engine but rather how some of the "audio enhancement" programs are written, which causes issues with the Windows Audio Session API (also known as WASAPI). Have a look at the "Software related issue" section in this FAQ topic which has some suggestions:

You can always send crash dumps to the Wallpaper Engine contact email, but it will likely just lead to the same conclusion that the issue is on the end of Asus' software.
