Windows 8

Post by BushmasterM4 »

Just purchased G-force and Aeon a few weeks ago (stand alone and itunes use). My question is I installed Windows 8 (final release) and they no longer work. They will load but all I see is a white screen, nothing else. I imagine your company has been testing your products with 8, is there a setting I need to use to get them bothe to work. Both the stand alone program and itunes plugin dont function. I have tried uninstalling, reinstalling, different compatibility modes, new graphics drivers, etc... I know Windows 8 hasnt been officially released, but they have released it to OEM's which I am a registered OEM with MS. If you dont have a solution, do you plan on releasing a Windows 8 update at some point ? Thanks

Hi BushmasterM4

As far as I know, Soundspectrum hasnt begun to work on windows 8 yet so you will have to wait.

Hello BushmasterM4

I have today (4th October) contacted SoundSpectrum asking for information regarding Aeon, G-Force, and Windows 8.

Got them working. Today MS released a new driver for my video card and it solved the issue. The Windows 8 beta drivers and certified 8 drivers from ATI was the culprit. Thanks.

I have recently upgraded my computer to Win 8 Pro x64.
Installed G-Force and don't have any problems with the media player plugin or standalone. However the v-bar does not display any visuals at all. Does not matter what audio input source I have selected.

Anyone have any insight on this?

Hello eatmysox

...As for Windows 8, as far as we've seen all of our visualizers seem to install and run okay on this platform, though we are still doing some testing to find out full capability.
