[RM2K3] Serious Problem

[AdditionalPylons]

I don't know why, but for a few days now, whenever I try to play music or test my game, the program locks up. It wasn't like this before, and I don't know what the problem is. What should I do?

 

[AdditionalPylons]

BUMP

This is really serious people. And I just found out that the same thing is happening to my RPG Maker XP, as well!

 

[Despain]

When you play background music in the editor itself? I can't think of any reason why that would happen, in 2K3 or XP.

Have you tried playing MIDIs in other programs? It might not be strictly related to RPG Maker.

 

[AdditionalPylons]

I'm mainly using MP3s, and it happens when I play RTP music files too.

First thing you should try is updating your audio drivers. This happened to me once, and that did it.

Yes reinstall the audio drive or update it expecially if it is a realtek audio! Also its possible that your midi plug in or codec is missing as well.

 

[AdditionalPylons]

Okay. I'll do that.







... or at least I would if I knew what an audio drive was.

Have you checked the flux capacitor?

 

[AdditionalPylons]

Dunno what that is either.

 

[Sic Semper Tyranosaurus]

Dunno what that is either.

This is the best possible response. I'm going to treasure it.

 

[AdditionalPylons]

Will someone tell me what an audio driver and a flux capacitor are? Until I get this problem fixed, I can't continue making my games.

 

[Unka Josh]

...Okay, I'll explain.  Somebody ought to...

Drivers are bits of software that you install on your computer to make the hardware attached to your machine work properly-- there are mouse drivers, printer drivers, and audio drivers, among other things.  If you type "Audio Drivers" into a search engine, you can generally find sites with free downloads of drivers of all kinds, and it's generally very simple to find, download, and install them.

Flux capacitors... are fictional.  Technobabble from, oh, Star Trek or Star Wars or Buckaroo Banzai or something like that. 

Clearer now?

 

[AdditionalPylons]

Thank you for clearing that up.

But what audio driver do I need? There's tons out there.

Thank you for clearing that up.

You need to determine exactly which sound card you have.
To do this, Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System Information
Under Components, select Sound Device
It should tell you which sound card you are using.
Now look for the latest driver for that sound card.

Be Well

 

[AdditionalPylons]

Okay. But it would probably help if I knew what the latest driver for it is.

Rev, that one's kinda old (2004). Mine is a 2006, and there's a 12/20/2007 version available for my M90.  Pylon's, from that page Rev posted, Select "Drivers & Downloads". It should prompt you for your model. If it doesn't, select "Select a different Product", and choose your model.
Then go down to the list & select Audio.

Rev, how did you know he had a Dell?

Be Well

My computer's a Gateway laptop.

I googled SigmaTel High Definition Audio Driver downloads

 

[AdditionalPylons]

If I download and install this, will it fix my problem?
