Hi, I just downloaded the bass sound system sdk 1.8 from http://www.un4seen.com/, I extracted the zip and I tried to run an example called 3dtest.exe that was included with it.
Immediately after I doubleclicked it, a BSOD appeared, saying there was an error in kx.sys

I haven't seen yet what kind of output mode bass tries to use, but I don't think it should give this kind of behaviour.

And I'm running it on a AMD Athlon 1Ghz/256MB SDRAM/Via KT133a chipset with an SB Live! 5.1 bulk in WinXP Pro w/ SP1

I think the drivers are running quite well, but there also seems to be another smaller problem with storing the configuration.
I started using kx from 3529, but when I upgraded to 3530 and reset the configuration, the drivers didn't work anymore when I logged on in another user.
I had to install the drivers again in that user before I was able to reset the configuration.
Sometimes (I think after more than 1 user has been logged on) the kx DSP gets completely messed up, so I have to reload my configuration regularly.

I can reproduce the exact same bug. Thankfully, none of my other DS3D apps seem to trigger this crash.

Oh, I suppose some specs are in order.

Intel Celeron 1Ghz
Intel 440BX (ABIT BE6)
512MB PC133
Live! 5.1
Windows XP Pro SP1

I'll install 3531 tomorrow and see if it solves the problem.

I'll try to confirm the bug shortly

Reproduced with 3531, this time with basstest.exe, for this rather bare crash notice:

*** STOP: 0x0000008E (0xC0000005, 0xF7EC37F6, 0xF3FAAAB0, 0x00000000)

Adding the following, for completeness' sake:

Another bug, whenever I try to load presets from the MRU list, I get Internal error #3002. They work fine if I load them manually. With 3530, the first entry in the MRU list would silently fail, while the second would work. (This might have been due to manually editing the master left/right volume levels in a saved preset to match my older presets. I resaved the result this time.)

Eugene Gavrilov

both bugs will be fixed in 3532
(I've found the solutions )
