Ok.. I’m fed up. I want to notate some music. I need to wear my headphones. My headphone jack does not work. Why does it not work? I don’t know.
A while back out of the blue my audio driver starting having an “EAccessViolation” error. I have no idea what this is. In anycase, since starting to get this error, my headphone jack does not work.
I googled this error and came up with various forms of black magic to get around the error (most people reinstalling Windows).
Why is it that something as simple as an audio driver or audio control panel cannot be resolved without completely destroying the entire working computer with a full reinstall?
Why can’t Windows developers provide better error reporting than “EAccessViolation”? What DOES THAT MEAN??!! So frustrating.
I seriously yearn for actual error reporting. I think any software that returned something as cryptic as “EAccessViolation” would be shunned and run out of town on any of my Unix systems. Why is it so hard for a Windows application to say “hey you know what? I was trying to access XYZ file and it was either not there, wrong version or something and as a result, I cannot run”? What is so friggin hard about that? On a Unix system, I’ll get messages like that and if I don’t know what the file is, I can query what package installed that file on my system so I know EXACTLY what application would be causing the issue (but as an aside, I rarely have these issues so its a moot point).
Yes this was a rant, but I just want to use my computer and not troubleshoot some stupid “EAccessViolation” error. I’m about 3 minutes away from buying a new speaker setup that has a headphone jack so I can just bypass this annoyance. Thats seriously messed up.
