Sorry – I was referring to Bios Sound Soap2 – and whether that would run on Windows 7 64bit….

Yes, I have it running as a plug-in in Windows 7 64bit with Vegas Pro 10d 64bit with no problems.

Thanks for the clarification…

Hoping for a little help here with SoundSoap2.4 and Vegas 10d 64bit.
I’m running Windows 7.

Just installed SoundSoap2.4 and am getting a “Cannot Find Sound Device” error message when I launch the program. I assigned SoundSoap2.4 as my default “audio editor” in Vegas – and it launches when I right click on an audio track and choose “open in audio editor”. However, nothing loads in SoundSoap.

When I open an audio file directly in SoundSoap, it imports the file and allows me to play around with the adjustments, but it won’t play the file.

I also can’t seem to get Vegas to recognize SoundSoap as a “plug-in”.

Very little documentation around this from BIAS – and little luck searching the web. So I’m back here where I usually get the right answers and problems solved.

Any help is appreciated….

Sound Soap 2 is a VST plug-in. Click on the VST folder under Audio and it should be there.

It’s not in the VST folder. I did a little research in this forum and a I saw a post from you that Soundsoap only works with Vegas 32bit not 64. Could this be why I’m not seeing it in the VST folder?

Also – still not getting it to work as a standalone either…more research to do…….

I tested Sound Soap 2.4 it on my 64-bit Vegas Pro 10d before my previous post and it was working. It don’t know why it’s not working in stand-alone mode for you either. It doesn’t even had any way to set up a sound card so I assume it just works with the default audio device in Windows.

That’s what I thought too. I gave a shot at installing the program on my 32bit XP system and can’t even get by the installation stage. I’m getting an “Error 1904 module C:\windows32\msxml4.dll failed to register. Contact your support personnel message.

I did find a BIAS forum that I just posted to and I’ll see what comes back…I’m thinking I should have gone Izotope RX, but thought it may be a little overkill for my needs (and a little pricey), but I may have to reconsider.

Thanks for your help.

Okay – here’s an update. I just got an email back from BIAS Support that said:
“We have seen this with certain Windows systems with the Realtek soundcards. We have found that you must have both the input AND output being used to allow SoundSoap 2 to work with it.

You would only need to plug a cable into the input, not actually be sending audio to the input – this could be a cable, a set of headphones – anything with a 1/8″ connection.”

This actually worked! I used a 1/8″ plug into the line/mic jack and I’m in business.

Now – what am I doing wrong to get Vegas to recognize Soundsoap as a VST plug in?

Did you point Vegas to your VST folder? Look in Options | Preferences | VST Effects and make sure that it’s pointing to the folder that BIAS SoundSoap.dll.
