I wonder if perhaps I'm the only one with this problem? Haven't seen any mention of it from the other users out there.

hmmm....they suggested you upgrade your soundcard drivers. I have an Audigy here and do not have the problems you are having (and I did try turning on EAX, worked fine in the program, and when I shut it down....I was able to go into the EAX settings with the program running as well). ???

Sure, I think someone else wanted this as well. What I'll do is replace the existing 'Shutdown on close' option with a multiple selection :
1) Shutdown
2) Reboot (don't think this would be required, but just in case!)
3) Logoff
4) Run program (which would let you select the application to run, and give you the option of passing any command line parameters)

Double Hmmmm..!! Now, I'm really confused. That was one of the first things I did, was to try it with updated drivers. That was about 2 weeks back. I doubt your drivers would be newer than mine at this point. And what's even more odd is that it's not just my machine, I've duplicated this problem across a number of different machines with various hardware configurations, but with enough juice under the hood to run any modern day app. The only absolute commonality between all the tested machines is that I used the SB Audigy card in each (running included drivers initially and latest drivers eventually to test).
Did you try more than one track, cuz it always works on first track played? Basically, here's the order of testing...
1) Make sure EAX is enabled via Creative's EAX Console.
2) Startup SKJB
3) Queue first song.. can wait for it to finish or just use Next Track if multiple songs are queued. If single song added, add another after first one is done or while playing.
4) It's the first song that plays fine, next and subsequent songs that are added will appear to be playing, but no sound output.
5) While SKJB still running, go check EAX console.. try change something, nothings's really there all settings will be blank.
6) Shutdown SKJB. EAX back to normal.
7)Startup SKJB. Anything will play again, but only for the first song.
Well, anyhow.. thanks for your efforts..

That's why on some older systems, there is a small delay between songs, as it's doing all the work at that point. I could be wrong on this, however! If I wanted, I can FORCE this, by loading the song into the MP3 control from memory already, but I don't think I need to. I would just be replicating what is already happening (i.e. loading the entire file from the HDD into memory, then playing that).

That fits with my new juke machine experiences SK, there is a 4 second pause between tracks when running the program on a very fast laptop, but over a standard USB cable to an external hard disk. If I run the harddisk on a USB2 machine, the pause is almost not noticed. Better to load the complete track before playing than risk the track breaking up whilst trying to retrieve the track over a slow link IMO.
USB2 rocks! The external harddisk by the way is the Smartdisk Crossfire 160Gb USB2. It's totally simply to hook up and very fast over USB2. My complete music collection only totals about 40Gb recorded at 192Kbps, so I've plenty of space for the future! (380 albums which SKJ handles with ease)
Cheers, Chalky
