I have experienced a persistent problem when I close Audirvana in Windows 10. More than half the time, Audirvana remains resident in memory, preventing me from re-opening Audirvana until I close the background Audirvana using Windows Task Manager. I was hoping this would be resolved when Audirvana 3.5.0 made its appearance. Unfortunately, the problem persists. I know how to work around it but it is somewhat annoying to have to go to Task Manager to complete closing Audirvana. Are others experiencing this problem or can I assume that it is confined to my specific computer?
Experiencing this problem as well on Windows.
Hello @usrockband and @anglehl, Before closing Audirvana, how were you connected to your DAC? Using USB or WI-FI connectivity?
I was connected with standard USB. Sometimes it closes normally, many times it stays open in the background and requires closing via task manager.
@usrockband, next time you have this behavior, in the Task manager, can you please click on create a dump file and send us at support@audirvana.com? This will help us debug the issue you have.
For the last few months (and throughout two updates) my Audirvana won´t close at all with the main window´s “X”. With the taskbar preview-window´s “X” it closes sometimes but a stale process stays alive, preventing Audirvana to be restarted until I kill it manually within the task manager. I assumed not to be the only one with this issue so I remained silent in patience for months. But as I just did the latest update, nothing changed. Last night when using Audirvana I even had my first bad-ass win10 system crash ever. This evening Audirvana did a ´minor´ crash and offered me to view a mini-dump, but it didn´t do so despite my request. Since v1.3.9. I´m patiently hoping that things will get ironed out, but most of the time old problems get traded for new problems. To be honest, if only Audirvana didn´t sound that good, I wouldn´t even bother with it´s quirks for a minute. Sorry, rant over.
PS, fun fact: for hassle-free listening I started taping my playlists to compact cassette and open-reel again, like in the last millennium. Why is it that modern technology can be more pain-in-the-tail than ancient magnetic tape?!?
Thanks in advance for advise.

Hello @waldo, thank you for your message. You sent the debug info of Audirvana, not the dump file. Can you send it at support@audirvana.com?
It can be in two different locations :
C:\Users[your login]\AppData\Local\Packages\Audirvana.Audirvana-[… id number that can vary]\LocalCache\Local\Audirvana\Audirvana
C:\Users[your login]\AppData\Local\Audirvana\Audirvana
Update: When I last used Audirvana this weekend, finally the “X” started working again. I have no idea if this is sheer incidence or if a fix has been applied silently. BUT I have an idea: As A+ had been getting rather unresponsive before while constantly reporting a library refresh, I turned off monitoring of all local folders as I mainly use A+ for Tidal. Maybe the processing of some local folders (with auto-refresh enabled) might be part (or even cause) of the problem? I will keep an eye on that.
(PS: Sound quality was great as usual, even when the GUI froze;-)
Cheers and greetings to ya all!
