I have a problem on an AV system. I want to use a prog of my own on the system that uses the spdif. However something is holding the spdif and I cannot access it. Does anyone know of any diagnostic s/w that will tell me exactly what prog or service is tying up the spdif, or alternatively is there any way of freeing it?
could try one of these:

By 'holding', what exactly do you mean? Are you getting some sort of permission error, or resource in use error when you run your s/w? And now for the big question: What sort of O/S is the AV equipment running? It could be anything from a custom RTOS to Linux. And how an I/O port or resource is 'held' depends a lot on this.
I'd guess you have it set as the default audio out. I forget the exact term for this - WAVE MAPPER or whatever...
If not, uninstall and reinstall the device. If you can do what you need done with it uninstalled...

Yes - sorry. It's Win7 embedded. I am trying to use VST and output over spdif, however something seems to be using it already. There's a big mix of AV s/w that might be interfering and I am not in a position to uninstall all of it.
All the right boxes in the OS and apps seem to be ticked but something is obviously not right.
