It is spamming these errors now :(

Hi! Can you re-download this please using the normal link, I've just updated it.

Can you also ensure your graphics drivers are up to date

Please let me know how you get on, cheers!

Thanks for the blisteringly fast response! 

On the download page, it says:

Am I in the wrong place?

Developer

That's the right one :)

Ok so I just installed it all again, but it's still spamming that error, and other errors like it.

Thank you, can you confirm that your drivers are up to date?

AMD graphics drivers | Nvidia graphics drivers

Can you please also let me know the specs of your system please including the GPU and OS

(2 edits)

OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Home

Intel i7-7930HQ 3.1GHZ 3096Mhz 2 cores

GPU: Radeon Pro 560 4096 MB

But it's a parallels vm because I don't have windows, maybe that's why it's not working?

Idk how to update my drivers

Any chance of a mac build? :)

Developer

Ah I see, that makes sense. I will certainly look into a Mac export but it will take some time. I'd like to get it up and running for you in the meantime, I don't have access to a Mac at the moment, does Parallels give you any control over DirectX or similar? I believe this issue is rooted to that but it's difficult to recreate. I've managed to create a Windows 10 22H2 VM, ran the app and it works

Thank you for testing it on a vm, that's really cool! Perhaps it's because you're running a windows computer vm that it works, whereas I'm running on mac hardware so it has compatibility issues?

I'm not sure what you mean about parallels giving me control over directX?

Good afternoon, apologies with the delay in getting back to you.


Ah that's much beter - can you please ensure the Visual C++ 2022 Redistributable is downloaded and installed. You can download this here:
https://aka.ms/vc14/vc_redist.x64.exe

Or through here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/windows/latest-supported-vc-redist?view=msvc-170#latest-supported-redistributable-version


Alternatively, you can re-install this app which will install the above for you, please let me know how you get on


Thanks!

Alex

Ok so I installed that, but I'm still getting all the other errors. The AJ audio error doesn't appear now, but the others do. It's just an endless spam of them, I click OK and another one pops up

These 3 over and over again https://ibb.co/fYXJF47B

The main GUI of AJ audio is open in the background on the welcome screen, no issues evident. But I just can't click on anything because of all these popups

Developer

Good afternoon, hope you are well


These issues are still relating to DirectX being unavailable due to the Parallels emulation, do you know how you resolved the issue which prevented you from getting further than opening the app? I’m hoping there’s another setting within Parallels that can be toggled, something GPU or DirectX related which will suppress these issues 


Let me know, cheers

Alex
