Capn Nav Software Sounds Problem
On 19 Jul 2004 13:40:27 -0700, (Len) wrote:
Capn 6.1 alert and alarm sounds are enabled and work fine under WinMe
but there are no sounds at all under WinXP. All the Capn sounds .wav
files are in the Chart_Sounds diretory and each plays when icons are
individually clicked on the WinXP PC. But for some reason they don't
play when the pertinent events occur when Capn is running under WinXP.
The WinXP system sounds work fine, so this seems to be an application
problem with Capn. Any suggested fixes or things to try would be
welcome.
Thanks,

I don't use CAPN routinely, and my customers tend more toward Maptech
and Ozi, so I don't claim to be an authority. Still, FWIW, XP
supports legacy implementations of sounds, but just barely. An
application coded for sound under Win9x/ME will often have problems
under XP; one of mine did. I basically had to scrap the old sounds
code and rewrite using a full multimedia implementation.
I just asked a customer to run a quick test on CAPN 6.1.3 and he
observed the same problem you report, so you needn't feel like a lone
ranger. You could try updating the soundcard drivers on your PC, but
I doubt that will work. I'm afraid you'll have to contact the CAPN
support folks. Hope they don't just tell you to upgrade to the latest
version before they will help...
