Computer crashed

Hello everyone,

I apologize in advance for my English.

I have a problem with Foobar, my library includes only FLAC (16 or 24bit).

When I read the 24-bit files, my computer crashes.

Could you help me?

thank you very much
Thomas

Are you sure your soundcard drivers are up to date?

Foobar2000 shouldn't crash your computer.

Correction: Foobar2000 can't crash your computer, unless you have bad drivers or bad hardware.

Sounds like you might have a problem with your hard drive if it's just freezing.

Which output are you using? There have been some talks that latest X-Fi drivers would be unstable with WASAPI and ASIO. If this is the case I recommend contacting Creative to get it fixed and using DirectSound output in the meantime as a workaround.

@ khatgs -- re. "How can i check that (HDD) ?"

I use HDDScan. No installation required (i.e. portable) just download and run.
The interface is a bit weird -- instructions (unless they've changed it):
Select Drive from Drop-down > Click on the ugly New Task button > Surface Tests > Select Verify (DON'T SELECT ERASE !!) > Add Test (the test will start)
While it's running you can look at S.M.A.R.T report.

PC = TAK + LossyWAV  ::  Portable = Opus (130)

I'm using Asio drivers.

I tried HDDScan but everything is ok (only green).

Try a different output mode, DS or WASAPI.

To be clear, actually WASAPI and ASIO are workarounds for broken DS drivers, not the other way around.
It's only audiophile if it's inconvenient.
