WinXP Pro Sp-3, Centrino Single Core 1.4Ghz, 2GB RAM, SigmaTel Audio (integrated).Breakaway Audio Enhancer is a simple yet powerful audio application that dramatically controls and manages your sound quality. Like I said, I am about to copy and paste this and my previous post and shift this problem to Claesson-Edwards, but thought I'd post here for posterity Shut down my media player, re-ran Breakaway's wizard and all is now well. Stopped everything, re-ran the wizard and set it to (for want of a better way of putting it) Regular processing and a medium buffer and the sound was garbled (though identifiable through the distortion). I used the wizard to go into SafeMode and set the buffer to "large" and it started working.
Got the "Audio backend is active" error with this additional info: Input: 44099.99 (the decimal part was dropping slowly), Output: 47999.50 (decimal dropping quite quickly). Cancelled out of Breakaway and shut it down. Got an error message: "Error starting audio engine: Child Process not responding". I enabled (via WinPatrol) Breakaway starting with my system and rebooted. I wonder if this is something to do with the DRM that you mentioned in your review, though I can't think of a thing that I have changed about my system in the past month.Īlright - final post in this thread on this problem I'll be filing a bug report and letting Claesson-Edwards take it from here.įWIW - I got it working. As far as I can tell it hasn't updated itself and I haven't installed/uninstalled anything related to audio output/processing for ages. Not too impressed thus far.Īny suggestions, scancode? This is really odd because it worked BRILLIANTLY before with each of the media players that I tried this morning.

well, first I'll try re-enabling Breakaway starting with Windows and reboot and see what happens. I suppose the only solution is going to be to reinstall Breakaway. Rebooted and then tried before firing up a media player. I shutdown my media player and tried again. Everytime I try to start it, I get an "Audio backend is active" message. Flash forward to this morning (did nothing audio related yesterday and didn't start Breakaway): I thought I'd put it through its paces a bit. I disabled Breakaway starting with my system and again revelled in the sound processing. Problem appeared all over again on subsequent boot. Restarted Breakaway and revelled in the sound enhancement. Finally shutdown Breakaway et voila! Problem solved. After confirming the problem was present regardless of whether or not I was processing the output to my speakers with Breakaway or not (ie had "Bypass Breakway" selected or not), I messed around with the buffer size in Breakaway. After the second, all I got from my speakers was INCREDIBLY distorted sound. OK - here are some problems I am having - Breakaway worked great after the first system start.

I'd LOVE if they'd add a 'Profiles' feature, for example: PC Speakers, Laptop speakers, Headphones. I got a BSOD while attempting to use it with AIMP2, Winamp worked fine tho. Breakaway will refuse to start until you close regmon, and reboot.
Copy protection/DRM (WinLicense) is a bit invasive for example you can't use RegMon (a Microsoft utility for seeing what's going on in your registry) AND Breakaway at the same time: If Breakaway was started before RegMon, Breakaway will quit, leaving your computer silent.

It's pretty light on system resources, and the skin looks just nice.
