#23 Old Windows XP versions

[Anonymous]

Hi yamamoto2002,

I'm trying different Windows players in search of the best audio quality and I came across your software.

I tried to install all the old versions up to PlayPcmWin473en.zip

I can install them but when I launch them I always get a Windows error window "application error" as in the screenshots I attach.

And now we come to the heart of the problem!

I am one of those few who insists on using Windows XP, SP3 32 bit because I am happy with it and I don't want to fight with the numerous bugs of Windows 10

I know that you will tell me that this way I will never be able to take advantage of all the new features of your latest versions but I would still like to try your software

• Which is the latest your version compatible with XP 32 bit?

Sorry for the inconvenience and I congratulate you on your work!

Best regards

Marco Rossi

Hi, Windows XP has fundamental design flaw on its audio subsystems especially on sample rate determination algorithms and it cannot deliver consistent quality sound reliably with user mode API. it is abandoned and new Windows audio engine is introduced on Windows Vista, with new OS - application interface WASAPI .
And PlayPcmWin uses WASAPI, therefore it does not run on Windows XP
