Hello, I use Studio 8.12, because my Windows XP & pc system wasn't fast enough to handle Studio 9, - - and all has previously worked out with Studio 8.12, except for today, that I am also getting this msg. that P.S. can not initialize audio playback. Would you, or Mark Peters, or someone PLEASE advise what I might do to correct this problem? (hoping not to have to uninstall & reinstall, as would be time consuming, etc., but if nothing else works. . . sigh. . . Thanks !
