PT 11 Clearly Not An AAE 9173 Error

[rgconrad1]

I am curious as to what can be done to fix the eye gouging AAE 9173 Error? I have done some extensive research throughout DUC and there is a crippling amount of threads, posts, and replies on this. I have found that there really is no discrimination as to what configuration or set-up you have. I've read about Mac and PC users having this issue throughout multiple OS's having the same issue.

But here is the kicker...

There are multiple threads I've read, and including my personal experience, that this error of "CPU Overload, Please Remove Some Plug-Ins" is occurring on beefy Systems with NO plug-ins being used, with one track being played back.

You can't tell me how unnerving this is. This clearly is a bug that needs to be addressed and fixed. This could very well stream on for 1,000 or more replies, but it's going to be the same statistic. There will be hundreds of combinations and configurations of systems and plug-ins that cause this error. No one really seems to have a clue how to appropriately resolve this issue and it wreaks of either a bug or a 3rd party plug-in issue.



I have been a PT user since PT LE came out YEARS ago and I have never had repetitive errors such as this in one weekend, let alone, 8 years.

I realize that PT 11 is still wet behind the ears but this has put a lot of engineers at a standstill. So before everyone gets on here and says list your credentials and plug-ins, understand that hundreds of users are getting this same issue throughout multiple platforms and multiple configurations. There is no common factor in this mix other than they are all PT 11 related.

Some say they newest update release began to increase the AAE Error frequency.
Some say that 3rd Party plug-ins or broken plug-ins are the issue.
Some say it is a slow factory HDD rpm issue.
Some say it is how plug-ins are arranged in a channel strip
But I know from first hand experience that it is clearly not a CPU performance issue as I, and many others, have had no issues until now.

So with all that said, who is running PT11 with absolutely no issues at all?
What is your set-up?
Has this been addressed with Avid as a potential bug?
I want to continue to do my job without having to get a degree in computer science in the process. *Scratching My Head*
