Helpful error message
Note to the Media Center team:
"AUDIO ERROR Exception from HRESULT: 0xC00D1191 (C00D1191)"
is not a helpful error message.
I know what HRESULTs and Exceptions are, but I still have no idea what this error message is trying to tell me.
I am reminded of Joel Spolsky's rant about unhandled exceptions. I guess it's better to say "An unknown error happened!" than do nothing at all, but it's still pretty useless. Somebody needs more testers..

I don’t know, the part in parenthesis is pretty helpful.
Given the lack on info on that error value, its a good bet its a 3rd party error: codec or sound driver, maybe? Its still pretty useless. I wonder what the internal exception is…

It’s Windows, what do you expect?

You guys are right – it could very well be a 3rd party error. And I should be glad that it’s not crashing the machine instead
