Error: Another application is playing

[shawnerz]

I am trying to play a previously recorded .sgp file. I can load the file just fine. When I go to play the file, I get an error saying, "Another application is playing. You can interrupt the application..."
I shut down the other applications one at a time and still got the error. I then rebooted and only started Acoustica after the reboot. I am still getting the error.
I went in to Task Manager and killed any likely offenders like "ituneshelper" and anything else that looked like it could cause a problem but I'm still getting the error.
Any ideas on how I can play my file?
Thanks,
-Shawn

Just to let everyone know, I tried re-installing Acoustia. Same error message.
Then, I un-installed Acoustica, re-booted, and then re-installed it. I am gettting the same error message.
Any help would be appreciated.

Error solved.
The USB headset that I used to make the recordings was not plugged in. I didn't think I needed to have them plugged in since I was just going to move and insert another sound.
In hindsight, a better error message would have been helpful. Something like "The original recording device (i.e. microphone or headphones) does not appear to be plugged in or operating properly." would have been more helpful.
Otherwise the program has been working great.

Hi,

MP3 Audio Mixer is one of our oldest programs. It hasn't really been updated since 2003. You might want to check out our newer Mixcraft software if you haven't already done so.

That may be so, but it works great and does what I need it to do.
THanks anyway.

All,
I don't recommend this fix for everyone, but if you get this error, you can also do this:
Exit Acustica.
Go to Start | Run | Regedit
Go to HLKM | SOFTWARE | Acustica | Internet Audio Mix
Scroll down to key PlaybackDevice. Double-click on it and set Value Data to 0.
Hit OK.
Close Regedit.
Restart Acustica. You now should be able to play your file.
