Sound Forge Audio Studio 10.00 elevated privileges

Richard-Cline wrote on 11/24/2020, 8:30 AM

As of 11/23/2020 this program no longer works. The sound meters do not work although there is plenty audio level going from the mixer to the computer. NOTHING has changed with regard to computer set-up or connections. I'm using Windows 10 for some time. Up until yesterday program worked fine.

That behavior is not characteristic of the 'elevated privileges' issue.
Is this on the input (record) and/or playback mode. Do other format files (PCM files) playback normally and does the 'channel meter' show activity?

btw, welcome to the Magix Sound Forge uers forum @Richard-Cline

Go to "Options> Preferences> Audio" Select the 'Record' tab, and confirm the 'Recording device routing' is set to the input you are feeding audio to. To see the record level meter value, you will need to check-mark "Monitor".

This pertains to Pro-10, AS (Audio Studio) may differ.

Hi

. . . . can't detect sound to record . . . .

In addition to @rraud comment - check the following privacy settings in Windows allow the program to access microphone and camera - Windows 10 seems to think any audio input device is a microphone and camera and should be restricted for many programs.

In Windows Settings, Privacy, Desktop apps, Microphone and Camera - select Allow desktop apps to access your microphone/camera

Thanks for the suggestions but nothing resolved the problem. The Sony registration utility does not work at all. The elevated privileges issue seems to be the problem here..

@Richard-Cline  ... as per @rraud's earlier comment, this doesn't seem like the elevated privileges issue which occurred with some SoundForge Pro 10 and 11 installations. Typically, the elevated privileges problem occurred at the point of trying to open the program. On clicking on the desktop or taskbar item - or even the .exe file - SoundForge Pro would not open at all; instead, a dialogue box would open advising of the elevated privileges issue and, as far as I can recall, suggesting to click on a button for a reason I can't recall. Clicking on the button made the dialogue box go away - and then nothing happened at all - zip, zero, zilch. The way you have worded the original post, it seems that SoundForge Pro 10 opens but the sound meters aren't working in the program.

If you want to do the elevated privileges registry workaround, please refer to:

You could try uninstalling and re-install. SF-10 should re-activate on-line through Magix as long as you use a valid serial code and use the email address that was used when it was originally registered with Sony (SCS). All the SCS registration data was transferred to Magix during the acquisition in 2016.
