Problems running XPressDV on my Laptop

[Valerie Shoaps]

Hi Andy,

The program has been known to be pretty finicky with various soundcards. If it were I in that position, I’d try different drivers for the audio or even generic. After that, it gets kind of messy.

The second problem seems like you have a window overlapping another. It can be minute, and that will cause the problem. Very easy to miss on a notebook’s limited real estate. Try moving either window or using a different layout.

Hi Valerie,

thank you for your reply!

To 1.

Could you give me a hint, which driver may be possible or where I can find it?
Sorry, if thats too stupid stuff.

To 2.

My screen resolution is 1280 x 800 (my desktop PC, where XPressDV runs w/o probs, has just 1024 x 768).
In addition I see no windows overlapping, nevertheless I tried to move them (by the way which one do you
mean exactly?). Actually it displays just a single frame in playback, no matter in which window and no
matter if it is an edited sequence or just raw material. Shuttling through the timeline results in fast
and “liquid” video, even if there are supplied effects.

Thank you again for your time.

Andy

I have XPress DV V. 3.5 and the laptop has an ATI Mobility Radeon

I am having the same problem, I just built a new computer and now Avid won’t play right. Same exact thing you have. Please let me know if you find an answer.

Hi.

Bad news. I was not able to find out more.

Concerning 1 (“missing” audio card).

In the meantime I read not just once that the combination AVID and Realtek HD Audio isn
