Have been using Goldwave more, recently. For the past two nights (Sat & Sun) when shutting Win2000.. GW tasks have been hanging in the background and must be `end task'd´ before Win will shut down.
Had run both the CD capture and Batch Conversion from FLAC to MP3.. both which seemed to run ok. I recall having such issues previously and shy'd away from GW. What could be hanging in the background? An op that was cancelled? How can it be diagnosed?
Really like GW...

Re: Goldwave running in background
That seems to be related to a sound driver problem. I have not seen the problem first hand, so I cannot be certain what the actual cause is. Updating your sound and video drivers may help. Posting the brand of sound card and video card you have might be useful if others are having the same problem.

Re: Goldwave running in background
Thanks for the reply. To be more specific, there was ONE Goldwave session to `end´ on Sat night, and THREE sessions to `end´ on Sun night when shutting down Win2k. I did some tests today to see what causes it to `hang´ but when watching, it doesn't seem to happen.GoldWave Inc. wrote:That seems to be related to a sound driver problem.

Re: Goldwave running in background
It happens nearly all the time.. Goldwave hangs in the background after closing it, even from opening WAV files and playing them. The solution is to set-up a Task Manager icon in the task bar and pop that open. Then check for and kill Goldwave after you get thru working.chrisjj wrote:I too have this problem, intermittently.

I like Goldwave but will stop short of recommending it until the bug is corrected. Keep up the good work.. and Goldwave is great for sound editing!!

Re: Goldwave running in background
It would be good if we could find out what particular operation causes this. since my report above, I have had no recurrence, and have used only WAV, MP3 adn WMA, not FLAC.

Re: Goldwave running in background
I still have not been able to duplicate it either. Until I can, there is no way to track down what might be causing it. Also make note of what other software you are using while GoldWave is running. Other software may be putting the sound driver in an unstable state, preventing GoldWave from closing normally.
