Exact Audio Copy (EAC) crashes

smike · May 4, 2022, 2:35pm

Hello,

Just want to inform that when I use Exact Audio Copy (EAC) after installation of Cryptomator + WinFSP, it does not work anymore.
In detail this means I am about to press button for “CMP” for selection of file directory, EAC crashes.
A solution that works for me is to deinstall only WinFSP, then EAC is working fine.

Is there a solution for this problem?

Thanks

I also had this problem yesterday. After some time I found this workaround using a batch file:

With WinFSP installed, without anything even mounted, EAC crashes when opening t…he save dialog. The program worked fine before installation and after installation. http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/ http://www.digital-inn.de/threads/eac-crashes-when-fuse-file-system-installed-winfsp.47548/ Apparently, it happens with Dokany as well, so it might be a more fundamental issue in Windows. Steps: 1. put CD in 2. in EAC go to Action > and pick either compressed or uncompressed With WinFSP installed -- EAC will crash Without WinFSP installed -- EAC will open a file dialog asking where you want to save the files Environment: Win 10 Pro -- 16299.374 WinFSP -- 2017.2 ---- Before submitting this issue please review this checklist.

EAC tries to load a 64-bit DLL and thus crashes.

Thank you d4k0, this solution works.
Created and applied batch-file, now WinFSP is not a problem anymore for EAC.

I am glad that I could help!

Hello, I had to struggle with this issue, too. I found that Cryptomator installs an old version of WinFSP. The most recent version of WinFSP does not have the issue with EAC. Unfortunately each Cryptomator update will attempt to install the old version again.
My workaround was like this
Install Cryptomator
Stop Cryptomator
Uninstall WinFSP which came with Cryptomator
Download and install most recent version from winfsp.dev
Restart Cryptomator
Be careful with a Cryptomator update from then on because WinFSP is already installed with a newer version.

Cryptomator does not yet officially support WinFSP Version 2.x.

This method seems a lot easier than creating batch files (never done that). How does one “Stop” Cryptomator after it is installed?

Thanks

Would it be possible to deinstall WinFSP while using EAC and then reinstall it when done? The issue I would think is getting a copy of a downlevel version of WinFSP.

EDIT: I just noticed my version of WinFSP is the latest version, so Cryptomator now officially supports Version 2.x? Unfortunately it seems EAC is still not compatible with WinFSP and this method won’t work.

It seems I’m just talking to myself, but here is what I did. Uninstalled WinFSP, opened EAC and ripped CDs. Closed EAC, reinstalled WinFSP (latest version). Rebooted PC. Opened Cryptomator and worked as before. Maybe it’s alot of work, and I can’t use Cryptomator when ripping CDs but with my limited programming skills it’s the best I can do without help (tried the bat file in the other thread but did not work).
