failed to initialize audio client

Post by oCraFTz »

Hi :welcome:

How are you doing guys?
I've installed a couple of music visualizers and they all didn't work, then I knew from the logs that Rainmeter "failed to initialize audio client" so I'm wondering if anyone can help, please? :???:

Thank you so much :) :rosegift:

What version of Rainmeter are you using?

Change Announcement:
Note: Any skins you have already created and distributed with the AudioLevel plugin included in the .rmskin should be modified to exclude the plugin and require at least the Rainmeter 3.2 r2317 beta version. This will ensure that older versions of the plugin are not being added to user's systems when your skin is installed.
If you have that version or higher, then you might want to look at this help post: https://forum.rainmeter.net/viewtopic.php?f=119&t=23348
