7.0 cannot create sound buffer?
Here is the exact error I get when trying to render:
“After Effects: not enough memory to create sound buffer. (174225K requested, 172028K available) (10::75)”
I have an HP with 2 gig of RAM. My machine is great and I’ve been using it for 2 years. I’ve been using AE for 5 years. I’ve never seen anything like this. AE 6.5 was working fine. I “upgraded” to 7, and then I had to go to the “secret” section under preferences to get it to render anything at all (by the way Adobe should list that in the help section under “simple ways to improve performance”). Video is fine, but now I want to render some audio and it wants to put the audio into the “sound buffer”. In 6.5 it would just start rendering like a champ.
What is the deal with this stupid “sound buffer”?! Just start rendering already!

Welcome to the club. AE 7 certainly sometimes does stupid things (I sometimes can preview minutes of audio, other days just a few seconds…), but there’s not much you can do. In your case most likely the install of AE has messed up your DirectSound component. AE tries to install a few DLLs, but they may not be the right version for your system or not installed properly at all. I suggest you try to update or re-install Mediaplayer, this usually sorts out such issues (but may have the disadvantage of loading another postmodern MS hog on your system that doesn’t allow you to go back to older versions of the Mediaplayer and decent people never use anyway *lol*).
