I've tried every tweak under the sun, compatibility modes, admin ,reinstalling all redist's ,etc. After all the company logos it just crashes.
Event viewer is almost always showing an "XAudio2_7.dll unloaded" error as the cause of the crash
The only thing I haven't done is uninstall LAV filters or MPC-HC.
I created blacklist entries, I even opened all 3 filters configs and unticked the box of every file format for all of them so it wouldn't engage at all.
Still nothing.
I really don't want to have to uninstall it all and lose all of my settings.
