Game Crashes and flashing screens

[d64]

It seems now after patching to 2.0-cd I am having sound crashes again. I had these before but they were cured by converting the mp3 files to wav. I noticed that after the patch I had to replace the sound ini file again, but that did not help. I even moved all the mp3 files away to make sure the game is not playing them..

The crash is as follows, and it always occurs a few mins into the game, when I push a button, usually, or when some other sound is supposed to be played:

AppName: winspmbt.exe AppVer: 1.0.3.5 ModName: mmswitch.ax
ModVer: 0.9.9.0 Offset: 00001b30

It seems most of the problems relating to sound are caused by 'bad' or incompatible codecs installed, usually through a pack or a third-party player, with that codec taking over the playing of MP3 through DirectSound. This is probably also why playing WAVs instead works.

You could try unregistering this mmswitch.ax file by typing the following in Start Senu > Run:
regsvr32 /u mmswitch.ax

Also here's what a quick google on this came up with:

I've been playing around with codecs and A/V splitter files lately so I know this can sometimes be a real pain to fix

Hope this helps,

Yes, it seems disabling or removing the file does stop the crashes. Too bad since I installed the software (Morgan stream switcher) for a reason. I haven't noticed it giving me problems in any other app or game.
