Re: What process is listening?

ok,
well it now a bit easier
to sort this out.

go to microsoft.com
and download a freeware
called autoruns.

this program will reveal alot
of information about the
processes and the related
drivers. Thus you wll
be able to see which one
is causing the problem.

you see, in safemode only
microsoft drivers are loaded
into the o.s. But in normal
mode microsoft driver plus
third party drivers are loaded
as well.

at this time take the
precautionary measure
of making a restore point
then exit

next launch autoruns and
browse through all the tabs
to get a feel of the program.

there will be one tab that lists
drivers. Find the one that
is not from microsoft and
resembles something related
to the problem or to the
program that is suspected.

find any entry you beleive
is not from microsoft, check
the box for the line, then double
click the name of that file.

the registry will open and disable
that entry. then reboot and see
if problem is solved.

you can reverse the disabling
the reg key, by unchecking
the line in autoruns and double
clicking it again.

also, you made a restore point
so if you overkill the disabling
you can use system restore to
restore your registry as before.

if the above doesn't resolve
the problem, then maybe
a repair installation with the
windows setup cd is all that
is left..

let us know your stats....

If I start in safe mode, I get no music.
I went back to last safe config but it still plays when I
boot normally.

could be a rogue driver

log into safemode and see
if the problem occur there too.

hopefully it won't, then the
problem can be attributed to
a third party driver running
under the normal mode enviroment.

so see what happens in safemode.....

Well, it did not help. I stopped all programs that are not from
Microsoft, Zone Labs, Intel, Logitech or Kaspersky and it
still plays the same way. Can it be some Microsoft 'feature',
I can't see that any of the other companies could be involved
(assuming that no process has a fake company name).

I really do appreciate your trouble

well, it can be tricky
to see where the source
of your concern is coming from.

try the process of elimination and
uninstall audicity. Then see
what the situation is....

and let us know...

Thanks, I have now tried Taskinfo but I am not sure how to
interpret the result. The only process that has consistent
input/outpt is svchost (1 of 6 running) that has a
Rd Rate B/s of 1380 and a Wr Rate B/s of 1470.
Is this not a bit low? If the sampling rate is 44100,
16 bits/channel, stereo (guessing but the sound is OK), should
it not be more?

How good is TaskInfo? When I run a digital
'piano', TaskInfo says it has 0 output although
I can hear it (if I play the record player at
the same I can hear both).

I do not know all programs but none from the
C:\Program Files\Audacity folder is running when
this happens.

oh, i guess the freeware
version went shareware...

but it will still work for a while...

i think you question makes
is sensiable. but any program
that may be awaiting / listening
would be an active one and listed
as a process in task manager.

it is possible that a special program
is being launched at startup via
the msconfig.

in any case you might find a
freeware called taskinfo helpful

i double checked the site and seems there
is an update that I will download as well....

Is there any tool to find out what process uses what in/out unit?

I have a special problem but I would also like something more

general.



My problem is that some process is all the time listening to

my audio (line) input and putting it to my audio output.

At first, this might seem like a bonus, you just start your

record player and put on your headphone and you can

listen to the music.



I find this irritating. When I try to copy some old vinyl records

to CD using the Audacity program, the sound from this unknown

program is mixed with the sound from Audacity giving it a

hollow, not very pleasant pitch. If I remove the Audacity sound I

can not vary the sound level and I can not hear what Audacity

does to the sound.



I use Windows XP Pro SP2.



Thanks in advance for any help.

Anders
