Playback Errors

If an error occurs during playback, make sure the correct playback device selected and the audio hardware is capable of playing at the sampling rate and quality of the file.

Try the following:

• Stop recording, if any file is recording.
• If you are using an external USB audio device, make sure the device is plugged in and powered on before running GoldWave.
• If the error occurs during effect previewing, the effect may have a problem. Process the effect and try playing it after processing completes.
• If not using Shared quality, make sure no other software is using the device for playback.
• Select a different playback device or quality setting on the Device tab of the Control Properties window.
• Choose the playback Test button on the Device tab of the Control Properties window to test the playback device.
• Contact the manufacturer to obtain an updated sound driver. Sound drivers cause the vast majority of playback related errors.

If nothing helps, try playing a file in Windows Media Player to make sure playback is working on your computer.
