Troubleshooting

– If you see any small yellow exclamation mark warning

symbols (click on any plus signs to check all the

entries), you have found the root of your problem.

– Select the hardware entry that is causing the hardware

conflict, and click the “Properties” button.

– Pay close attention to the notes Windows gives about

the hardware, for example about resource conflicts.

Hardware resources such as IRQ numbers cannot be

changed in Safe Mode. Instead remove the device from

the Device Manager and restart your machine. You can

now re-install the hardware. On a related topic, please

note that IRQ conflicts can be avoided by setting your

BIOS parameters correctly. However, BIOS settings

should only be changed by experienced users. Consult

your computer or music dealer for advice in this area.

Sound Cards

If MAGIX midi studio generation 6 complains with the

error “PCAV Error xx : padUnprimeFailed (xx is a num-

ber) on start up, one of three causes could be the culprit:

1. There is no sound card installed in your computer;

2. The sound card or its drivers are not stereo or 16bit ca-

pable (this applies to older sound cards);

3. The sound card is currently in use by another pro-

gram—the Windows CD Player, a wave editor, or the like;

If the first instance, uncheck the ‘PC AV’ checkbox in Au-

dio > Audio Hardware & Drivers. Exit MAGIX midi studio
