    "An Error occurred during playback. Unable to mix audio. Operation timed out."

    Since buying Vegas Pro 10a this message appears whenever I scrub the time-line. There was no audio on the track, just an image. I was testing the BCC7 Clouds filter. Pressing play or any attempting any playback will give this message after it first appears.

    This never happened in 9.0c. Since, I already uninstalled 9 (and cannot re-install it), can this be resolved in my current version?

    This will happen when your project audio properties and not supported by your audio card. It doesn’t mater that there is no audio in the project. The audio engine always gets initialized during playback and this is whats causing the error.

    I’m not sure why you think this. You can reinstall Vegas onto the same PC as many times as you need to.

    Hm? I didn’t check my project audios ettings, but my card (Sound Blaster Live! Digital 5.1) does support 96k/24bit audio. I’ll have to check and see what it was set to.

    As for the installation issue, I was referring to having deleted the 9.x install/setup executable after getting v10. Something told to hang onto v9, anyway – but I didn’t. The DVD I burned it to, was re-writable to I re-burned it with a copy of v10.

    And I cannot seem to be able to re-0download v9.0 from Sony. 🙁
    And I am not doing the torrent route, as one person suggested (in another forum). Well, since I know what the issue is, it’s not an issue anyomre. Thanks.

    Actually it might not depending on the drivers that you are using. Creative makes all sorts of “half-truth” claims about their cards when, in fact, they don’t support the settings they claim in hardware. (it’s a bit of software trickery). I would set your project audio to 48K/16-bit and use the Creative ASIO drivers. I believe that’s what the hardware is truly capable of.
