Bugs - Can't open more than one file - Dorico audio engine crashes every time

[MrSimmy]

Hello, I’m going crazy. Everytime I use Dorico 4.3.20 with just one file for the first time from turning on my pc, it works. If I close the first file and try to open another one or just if I try to create a new project, Dorico can’t play nomore and it crashes when I try to save my works. It doesn’t save any file.
It is really a very serious thing. I can’t work anymore and I have several pending projects. Please, help me !!!

This is a problem that has been happening since the last update to 4.3.20 with halion 7

Did you update the sounds etc as well when you were updating it.

Closing Dorico project causing program shutdown improperly; audio on left only

Hi @Xianmin_xkwauk, I checked back with the @Ulf and @dspreadbury and here is a first workaround to keep HALion 7 or HALion Sonic 7 installed (Windows only, I can provide a Mac version on request): To prevent any SteinbergMediaBayServer restart problems, here is a (zipped) bat file that starts it once and keeps it running. It needs to be unzipped and executed once after system start, before starting Dorico (you can put it anywhere you like, e.g. on your desktop and execute it from there): Sta…

where you will find a temporary solution for the problem introduced by the new MediaBay component and HALion Sonic 7.

Thank you very much. It seems work. I hope in a fast fix because it is not so serious have to lunch one batch file before running dorico…
