Problems & solutions
No sound while playing
If you do not hear any sound from a project, but the cursor still moves through the arrangement, then this
may be due to the following reasons:
The wrong driver is selected in the "Play" parameter window ("P" key)
No Windows driver has been installed for your sound card
Audio playback is set too quietly in the sound card mixer window
Faulty connection of the speakers or the amplifier to the sound card
A good idea is to check audio playback apart from MAGIX Music Editor 3, e.g. with another program.
Load a wav
file from the Windows folder and play it back. If you are still having problems, check that the driver for
your sound card has been properly installed.

MAGIX Music Editor 3's screen cannot be seen completely – edges of the interface are missing
MAGIX Music Editor 3's screen is visible with the wrong or poorly visible colors
Can’t open waveform device
This error message appears if another program is already using audio
playback of your sound card. You should close any other programs and then try playback again.
Can't play this wave format
This message is displayed when you attempt to play a wave
format that is not supported by your sound card.
Interruptions during playback
Playback starts normally, but you encounter short dropouts; this usually means that your system
(processor or hard disk) is too slow for the adjusted buffer size and sampling rate. Increase the buffer
value in the playback parameters ("P"). If this doesn't help, then reduce the load on the CPU with the
command "Calculate all real-time effects" (in the "Edit" menu
).
Playback won't stop
If playback can be started with the space bar, but it can't be stopped, then this indicates that your
system's CPU
is overloaded by playback. Playback can be canceled in this case with the "Esc" key.
No level during recording
If no level is displayed in the recording window, then this may be because:
