Many thanks to you, Matt. Absolute life-saver.

Take care out there.

I’ve tried deleting Avid Settings, User Settings, I’ve followed Avid’s own page regarding the “media streams” hangup where you delete the two types of .msm files they recommend deleting, and I’ve even uninstalled Avid completely and all associated folders as well as, on two separate computers, reinstalled Windows and then fresh copies of Avid.

Some of this seems to work for a few days or even a few weeks, but eventually, it hangs again for times as low as 7-8 minutes with several Avids booting for around 35-45 minutes before either finishing the application load or erroring out and closing.

Matthew, sadly I have not yet. I haven’t had a chance to open a ticket with Avid Support either. I’ll happily update here if I find any solutions; surely we aren’t the only company out there dealing with this considering it’s so widespread at our facility. Thank you for checking in.

I’m also getting this error during boot about 30% of the time.

ADirectSoundAudioDevRep::SetSampleRate() iActivePlayBufferReg is set to NULL.

I see no hits on Google regarding this error. When I see this, I click OK, the Avid crashes, and reboots, this time correctly.
