Runtime error

Having trouble with LMMS? Ask about it here.
Yay!! Glad you found a way to solve your problem daawesomep.
Thanks for the step by step info too. :mrgreen:
I just updated to 1.0.2 and had to do the fix again (found here). Is there any way that this can be added to the official LMMS builds? Doing this every time is quite annoying.
Why don't you just use the SDL backend?
I'm not familiar with the SDL backend. Could you explain? If it requires my own compiling, it's a no-go. I'm on a crappy 8-year-old pentium.
No, just choose SDL instead of Portaudio in the driver tab in LMMS settings.
The problem is that LMMS initializes the portaudio dll everytime it loads, so I get the runtime error (a crash) no matter what the option is.
Well, that's odd and doesn't happen on other win8 installations that I know of. Probably something weird going on there (sucn as win8 being a horribly broken joke of an OS, but that's just my opinion...)

In any case LMMS isn't likely to switch the portaudio library, because it's based on .NET/mono and we don't want .NET/mono as a dependency. But since you can swap it out yourself anyway, that shouldn't be a big issue for you...
Hi All,

I'm facing with exact the same problem. I've Win7 Prof. x64 SP1 laptop. The PortAdio.dll download/rename trick did not helped. I found this in my event viewer, maybe it helps little bit.
