When I Start Wincab I get this

[billblumjr]

It states this in an error style box "unable to install sound driver" and it stops and won't continue.. I searched here for an answer and can't find anything
I am running WinXp with SP 2 my sound card is SB PCI 512 and I am running DirectX 9.0c... help..

[Chris]

Odd... never seen that in Windows, only in DOS....

You should now have a jbdebug.log file... can you post it?

Thanks!

I saw that same error once in Windows when I had forgotten that it was already running in the background and tried to start it again. (just thought I'd throw that out there)

Here is the log file

Hmm.  MIDI failure, and odds are you don't even need MIDI.

Try adding the following to the end if your jukebox.ini file:

Code: [Select]

[sound]
midi_card=0

Does that help, or does it just change the error message in the log?

Thanks!

Ok it started up ok that time.. it said I had a fatal error.. no songs in pathline.. so I am gonna redo that and see what happens.. otherwise.. it works

[Chris]

Everyone sees that one the first time... I really need to make it prompt for a path rather than error out.

[billblumjr]

No prob.. put the path in.. and now it works.. thanks

Hi just found this old post and I have a similar problem (never really worried too much because Doscab works fine in a full screen dos box anyway). The sound card works in windows and in dos but Wincab throws almost the same error.

I wonder if something else is using the driver at the time the jukebox is starting up.  Do you have more than one sound card in your machine?
