Question

device ID has been used that is out of range for your system

Hi, I'm using Audition 1.5. In edit view I'm trying to hit play but a window comes up that says a device ID has been used that is out of range for your system. An error was generated by your sound card. It may not be properly configured - reinstall your sound card driver, check the sound card documentation and, if necessary, contact the sound card manufacturer to help you resolve this hardware error.

I already reinstalled the driver, any ideas?

Certainly! It sounds like you're encountering a frustrating issue with Adobe Audition 1.5. The error message you're receiving indicates a problem with your sound card configuration. Despite reinstalling the driver, the issue persists.

Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

  1. Verify Sound Card Compatibility: Ensure that your sound card is compatible with Adobe Audition 1.5. Check Adobe's official documentation or their support forums for any known compatibility issues.

  2. Update Sound Card Driver: Even though you've reinstalled the driver, it's worth checking if there are any newer versions available. Visit the website of your sound card manufacturer to download and install the latest driver for your specific model.

  3. Check Hardware Connections: Ensure that your sound card is properly connected to your computer. Sometimes loose connections can cause errors. Try reseating the sound card if it's an internal one, or ensure that any external connections are secure [office clean outs](https://www.junkrecolet.com/)  

  4. Test with Different Sound Card: If possible, try using a different sound card to see if the issue persists. This can help determine if the problem lies with your current sound card or if it's a software-related issue.

  5. Check System Requirements: Make sure that your computer meets the minimum system requirements for Adobe Audition 1.5. Insufficient hardware capabilities can sometimes lead to compatibility issues.

  6. Contact Adobe Support: If none of the above solutions work, it may be beneficial to contact Adobe's customer support. They may have further insights or specific troubleshooting steps tailored to your situation.

Remember to document any steps you take and any changes you make, as this can be helpful information if you need to reach out for further assistance. Good luck!

This looks like it's been generated by chatGPT. It's the way it starts with 'Certainly' that's a bit of a giveaway...

 

I should point out that anybody (or anybot) who seriously thinks that they are going to get help about Audition 1.5 from Adobe Support  directly is deluding themselves. This is not even software they wrote - all they did to CEP was update the security system. It's Syntrillium code, and it was never intended to work with modern OS's. If it does, that's great - but you really have to expect failures this far out.

 

And the other thing is - this query appears to be solved. So what's the reply above doing here at all?

I have windows 10 (This does work)

Right click on sound icon on task bar right hand side bottom.

Click on SOUND

On Recording make Stereo the default and (apply)

On Cool Edit Pro 2.1 Icon on the desk top

Right Click   Properties

Compatibility

go down to and tick run this program as an administrator (apply).

This will work but you will have to open via administrator every time

What is the soundcard? What operating system are you using? What options are shown in Audition's Options/Device Properties Wave Out page?
