Bug Report OBS repeatable Blue Screen of Death Stop with Preview...
- Thread starter ITPalg
- Start date
I would reinstall the audio drivers for your onboard sound as well as the ones for your sound card. While this issue may be indirectly caused by OBS, it's not an OBS bug. There is something going on with your system configuration. I actually believe this is very likely to be an issue with the current nvidia drivers for some systems. We've been getting reports of other crashes as well, but not blue screens I don't think.

The easiest/best way of analyzing a BSoD that I know of is with windbg but it might be too much for the average user, here is what seems to be a guide (I just took a quick look): http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window ... death/1922

The driver that seems to be involved with this crash is related to sound, but if the crash is from some other source when bad data was passed to the kernel, the initialization of the audio could trigger the bluescreen at that module even though its not a problem with it. You could try using an older nvidia driver such as http://www.geforce.com/drivers/results/55121
It's really hard to tell
I just disabled the Creative and reinstalled the Realtek drivers. No crash.
Searching Vanguard forums I find some threads about Creative (X-FI) not having good drivers or at least the reputation of it and crashing with Vanguard (maybe other apps/games?).
The only problem is now the only game option I have is generic software. I put a post there for that.
btw...I found another post someone talking about "OpenAL" so I looked it up, found a download last updated 2009, and this webpage:

What do you mean by the only game option is generic software? Do you mean that: in game, the only audio option is generic software render?ITPalg said:
Apart from this, yes, it did seem like the audio driver was the cause. Glad to be of assistance. This isn't something we really have any control over. It would need to be fixed by either Creative or whoever makes Vanguard.
Did you have the latest drivers from creative? They might have fixed it already if you weren't running them.
Resurrecting this as I have tried to use the card again while disabling the onboard RealTek.
I want to have the EAX available on certain games (EQ II, Thief Gold for the future December fan-made texture patch release, Vanguard still, etc).
Even just clicking Preview while having only my AFK scene that only has an AFK image up causes BSOD.
I found Nirsoft's BlueScreenViewer and so here is where you can see the last 3 crashes on Google Drive. The most recent one with termdd.sys is when I only had the AFK scene selected when I clicked Preview. Hopefully this helps more.
I can run Vanguard without OBS just fine, but the moment I Preview or Start I get BSOD.
