How do you reset a frozen PCI soundcard without rebooting?

All sounds (including Windows sounds) are disabled until the next reboot. Whatever initializing is done during the reboot should be do-able on command without rebooting. |

How do you reset a frozen PCI soundcard without rebooting?
I was referring to an on-screen reset button. One that would sent whatever
command to the unit that a reboot does. "Mike Rivers" wrote in message ... On Nov 17, 3:38 am, "mjs" wrote: Thanks, but my Echo cards have been locking up on me for years... I've always had to reboot when it happens. How many more years will it take before they add a reset button to the console? :-( Wrong question. You should ask: "How many months before they fix the firmware so that it won't lock up?" A reset button costs money for every unit built. A software fix only costs once (but it's harder to test). |

How do you reset a frozen PCI soundcard without rebooting?
Did you go through task manager and terminate any apps (like sonar) that
used the Gina but are still running? If the card really is in use that might now make a reset possible... just a thought, I've never experienced your issue so haven't had to look for a getaround... -- Sue Morton "mjs" wrote in message reenews.net...

Regardless of what the message says, what it almost certainly means is that the computer can't talk to the Gina card. So if it can't talk to the card, how will an on-screen button be able to reset it? |

How do you reset a frozen PCI soundcard without rebooting?
If you are unable to reset with the Gina Console. It's locked up big time.
Like Sue said check the task manager and see if Sonar is stuck. If it is delete from task manager then try the Gina Console change settings. If that doesn't work, you are screwed. What version of Sonar are you using? Which Gina driver, which OS? If non of this works, I would try to remember what you were doing right before the crash. Also which plugins were in the song you were working on. Plugins are a major cause of crashes. Max Arwood "mjs" wrote in message reenews.net...

It might not let you if the driver has zombified. If it works, make a script to do it and put it on your desktop. Else, perhaps using a different output driver (WDM,ASIO,MME,WaveRT etc) from Sonar could help. |
