Strange issue with InitSound() and Global keyboard shortcuts

Post by firace »

I traced an issue I had with system-wide keyboard shortcuts on Windows (for instance, Win+E to bring up Explorer) to InitSound()!

The issue can be reproduced with this very simple one-liner:

Code: Select all

InitSound() : Delay (10000)
Basically, what I experience is that when this is running, Win+E hangs until the my application has exited.

Is this a known issue? Can someone reproduce it? (My environment: PB5.11, win XP)

If it sounds simple, you have not grasped the complexity.

Works just fine. I suppose that's a WinXP issue.
