Back from holiday, sorry for the delay in responding. :(

If you read the information under Item #8 in Troubleshooting AudioLevel, you will see that any software that takes "Exclusive control" will prevent the plugin from being able to initialize an audio stream to be used in any visualizers. This can sometimes be remedied by following the tip in Item #8 and not allowing exclusive control. However, I have seen where it is necessary to remove the software that is enhancing the sound (Sonic, Nahamic, and others can cause this).

If you have a newer PC, then you may very well have some type of "enhanced" sound control that is automatically started when you start Windows. Finding that program and removing it may allow the plugin to work.

Sorry I cannot be more specific. :uhuh:
