VP19 Fails Playback After Render

hurricane1951 wrote on 5/13/2022, 5:29 AM

Since I installed VP19, I've had a problem playing a project after completing a render within the project. In other words, I preview my project, then render it. It doesn't matter whether it's the whole project or just a selection. After the render finishes, I can no longer preview within that session. I have to close out that project and reopen it. Here's the error I get when I try to play:

An error occurred while starting playback.
The request is not enabled for this device.

This always happens -- no exceptions. And it's only since I installed VP19. The error message doesn't give me anything to go on.

Anybody have a solution?

It seems the problem revolves around the audio device. It can be a driver issue or it can be the audio device type setting in Preferences. Mine was set to Microsoft Sound Mapper. When I changed it to the sound card I have, it fixed the problem.

Also try update the audio driver of your computer or your mainboard.

I had this issue too on my very-old PC.
