win xp not recognising scope for system playback (SOLVED)

[irrelevance]

I recently found this issue with my dual boot pc where audio programs such as itunes, vlc, quicktime player cannot playback audio.
Itunes for instance says there is a problem with audio playback even though scope is open.


The problem is with my music partition.When I go into control panel audio settings, the audio card for playback is not present or selectable. Cubase and Ableton live can playback audio fine through asio. Seems there is something wrong with my wav drivers.

My internet partition which is loaded with games and other bloatware and running scope 4.5 has no problems and the creamware audio interface for playback is selectable in the control panel settings.

I have tried reinstalling scope 5 over the top of the previous install but not yet a full wipe and install as I really didn't want to go through the plugin registrations again.


Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Scope 5 latest build
1x Scope card
1x pulsar card
1x 6dsp booster card
Win xp service pack 3
Gigabyte ga p35 ds3l
4 gig kingston ram

Just an idea and I don't know if it would solve the problem.
Try to drag a wave source module into your scope project until a message tells you "there are not enough wave source in windows, should it be created ?" Or something similar.
Windows generates a new wave source, set it to standard playback and hopefully this will overwrite the problem?

Worth a try?

Yep that is worth a try thanks. I'll let you know!

Gave it a try but windows is still unable to select a source.

I think my powder is fired, could a direct x update be a way?
Hope somebody can help you out.

Seems that the drivers were corrupt somehow and even though I ran the the 5.1 installer it saw them as installed okay. Uninstalled the drivers from device manager then ran 5.1 install again and now all is working as it should.
