Look like it is related with the Sound Sametime try to generate when receiving a new chat.

What will you do to fix this issue?

Disable sound notification

try a different sound?

Upgrade direct x

We already try to re-install notes and it doesn’t make any difference.

The user already has FP1 installed.

Subject: Notes client Crash often- DLL not related to Notes

It seems to be a DLL not related to Notes because there is a number before the line not a @.

Subject: More

We have been seeing this issue and are working it as part of Notes 8.5.1 we still have not found a fix, We have cleaned up Sametime’s use of the Sound code. But are working it now at a lower level. I have a few questions.

System info:

manufacture:

model:

added sound cards:

OS:

If Vista, are there Vista drivers for it

OS Rev:

How offend has it been happening?

if the Sametime Sound Notifications are disabled, this should prevent the issue:

Subject: So far

That user use a laptop HP EliteBook 2730P.He use Windows/Vista 6.0 [32-bit] Tablet PC Edition (Build 6001), PlatID=2, Service Pack 1 (2 Processors)

No Added sound card. This is a laptop and he uses the sound card integrated to the motherboard.

Lotus Notes crash multiple time per days. It depend on Sametime chat he can receive.

Yesterday, I applied this Microsoft hotfix:

Windows6.0-KB957569-x86.msu to update the DLL that seem to cause the crash: audioses.Dll

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957569

But Again this morning his Lotus Notes crashes when he received a Sametime chat.

Today, I saw that the user was using a Windows Drivers for the Audio. “Device High definition Audio by Microsoft 2006-06-21” I went on the HP web site to download the recommended driver for this laptop: SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio 2008-12-11.

I hope it will fix his issue.

Subject: Crash Again

The Lotus Notes crashed again the same day.

The user told me he has installed The HP software to update all his drivers to the most recent.

I will soon ran out of idea, please help?
