Error message "unable to open audio device" at startup
Problem: BPM Studio doesn't start or the error message "unable to open audio device" occurs
Solution: Open the properties for multimedia in the windows system controls. Choose register tab Audio:


At "preferred device" has to be selected the first available channel from your soundcard.
Otherwise the DirectSound Driver cannot assign the different channels properly.

RME DIGI96/8 and DirectSound-Driver

For the use of the DirectSound drivers the check box "Disable DS" must be unchecked. The output format should be adjusted to " Force Adat ".



Why isn't it possible to activate the monitor function in the SB live?

Activating of the monitor function on one of the two channels of the SB live is not possible, since the internal number of buffers of the card is not sufficient. This can't be changed by programming. Even in later BPM Studio versions this will not be possible.

Why does my SB live not function with seperate front/rear ?

The separate output over front/rear is availabale in the BPM Studio versions Light, Home and Professional.
BPM Studio 3.0 cannot address the two outputs of the SB live separately, although in the audio characteristics the channels are available for selection?
Please examine the following as problem solution:
  • is the supplementary product AudioHQ installed?
  • adjust "loudspeakers" to: 4 loudspeakers
  • adjust in the Control Panel/ Multimedia / [name of sound card] / further characteristics the loudspeaker setup to " Quadrophonic Loudspeakers "
  • select the desired channel in the BPM Studio Options - Audio I/O
BPM Studio sound card recommendation

Which sound cards do you recommend for the use with BPM Studio?
Generally we recommend Audiotrak, M-Audio and RME Soundcards.

In principle all DirectX or ASIO supported sound cards can be used. However, there might be problems with the use of 2 sound cards of same type with the DirectX driver. Further recommendations and tests can be found in the sound card special .
