    "sound process has hung" error

    Hi. This is an error I've started to get for the past few months and I have yet to understand why. Sound will cut out and less than 30 seconds later the game will crash. Game likes to crash either after 20 minutes or sometimes it'll crash in less than 5 minutes. This has only ever happened after I switched my game to 1.6, never happened when I was running 1.5. I know at least one other person who has this issue too so I at least know it's not just a me thing. Really hope someone can help.

    Hi Damian! Given what you're saying about 1.5 vs 1.6 and another person with the same issue, I'm sure it is fair to assume it's something relating to ORTS. That said, I was getting that SPH error years ago (admittedly with a music editing program, not a game) but the "fix" I was given by the tech support people was to update (or possibly uninstall & reinstall... can't remember exactly) my sound drivers. It took care of the issue for me, so possibly in lieu of anything more ORTS specific, it might be worth a try?
    Cheers!

      Bumping this again, but I’ve started to get the same error again. Updating drivers doesn’t seem to work now. I know for a fact it’s not an issue with my computer when other games will run without issues what so ever. Person I mentioned who had the same issues started receiving them again as well.

      Would anyone know the root of the problem or at least another possible solution? Every other avenue I’ve tried to ask at had just lead to me getting ignored. If anyone can help that’d be real appreciated. Thanks.

        About a year ago I would get this error fairly often. The surprising thing is that it went away as suddenly as it came. If you find the cause, I would be curious to know what it is.

        PS - Might have been an update that didn't agree with OR.

          If you run Carlo's ORNYMG, you have an option to stop the timeout problem ( watchdog timer ).
          I started with sound problems, went to ORNYMG and have never left.
