Subject:Error while starting playback

I have ACID 2.0 and it has worked for at least a year just
fine. One day I go in there and it doesn't work. I
checked everything and eventually re-installed the program.

Sometimes the sound comes out and sometimes it doesn't.
The thin vertical bar that moves along with the wave form
on the screen stops moving after a couple seconds, but the
time keeps going (but no sound). Sometimes I get the
message "An Error occured while starting playback. Time
out occurred when preparing the audio device for playback."

I went to Options-Preferences-Audio and have it set to my
GINA output 1/2. I know its not the GINA card because I
can play wav files imbedded in a Cakewalk file through the
GINA.

Help?

try checking the mixer settings (found by the explorer,
properties, fx tab) and make sure the gina is selected.
this happened a few times to me and that's what it turned
out to be. hth

I am getting exactly the same problem after months of trouble free use! Anyone know of a solution? I have checked the mixer settings and they are ok.
