SOLVED: BrawlBox Music problems

[silveruchiha]

So I'm trying to make a few new BRSTMs in BrawlBox because I want to be able to loop it the way I want. The problem is that I can't get any of my music files to open in a way that will allow me to edit them. All the files I've tried are WAV format. I've tried using BrawlBoxes 5.9, 6.0, 6.3, and 6.5 and they all give me the same error message:

"Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click Continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately. The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))."

And under the details button it gives me this information:

Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.

I've searched on Google and have not found a solution at all to this. I've even tried opening old WAVs I converted a long time ago, and now those won't even open. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Are you using 0.68

Because if you are

Don't

No. As stated above, I've tried using a variety of older versions and none of them work either.

Does BrawlBox still have problems with a song's Metadata? If not, then you'll probably want to clear that.

Are you using Audacity? If yes, put them inside it, Export them again as .wav then re-do the .brstms (this problem once happened to me... and another time when the .wav didn't converted really well...)

Have you run the wave files through Audacity? (just import them and export them as wav again)

Otherwise, sounds like a driver issue.

v0.68 doesn't have a problem with that anymore, no.

I want to say it's a driver issue. I tried importing the WAV and exporting it again as another WAV and still nothing. Any idea what drivers I need to fix?

Probably DirectSound.

I updated all my audio drivers and still no change. :/

Problem Solved:

Turns out I need to run BrawlBox as administrator in order to get it to open WAVs properly. So if anyone has this problem as well, here's another viable solution.
