Cool Edit Pro: MMSYSTEM007 - Not enough memory

This error may occur on some configurations when you try to play, record, or monitor the VU level. It is a Windows error that probably relates to insufficient memory resources available for the sound card.

Possible Solutions to MMSYSTEM 007 and MMSYSTEM 256 errors:

Make sure the [boot] section of SYSTEM.INI has "drivers=mmsystem.dll" to load the mmsystem drivers on bootup instead of while running an application.

Check that the [drivers] section of SYSTEM.INI has "wave=mmsystem.dll" and "midi=mmsystem.dll"

Try lowering the "FILES=x" line in CONFIG.SYS

Try lowering the "BUFFERS=x" line in CONFIG.SYS to 23, then down to 13 at the lowest.

Don't use any 16-bit sound drivers. Try not to load any 16-bit sound drivers in CONFIG.SYS, and if they must be loaded, load them high (DEVICEHIGH=).
