The problem is between Kontakt v8.7.1 and Sonar.exe v8.5.3. I've reinstalled both and tried different versions but I can't solve it. At the bottom is the blurb from Event Viewer. Here are the other things that I tried or were recommended:


1. Run System File Checker
Done, no errors

2. Disable Data Execution Prevention (DEP):
Can't be done with 64 bit files. DEP is off for all files all the time.

3. Update or Reinstall Graphics Drivers:
Done

4. Check RAM Integrity: Run the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool to identify faulty memory modules.
Done, no errors

5. Disable Third-Party Antivirus/Firewall:
Don't have 3rd party Antivirus/Firewall

1. Add Sonar to DEP Exceptions
Can't be done with 64 bit files. DEP is off for all files all the time at the moment. "You cannot set DEP attributes on 64-bit executables"

2. Run as Administrator
Sonar is set to open with Admin privs

3. Bit Bridge and Plugin Compatibility
I don't use any 32 bit plugs

4. RAM Management
32 RAM no errors, 6 gig paging file System managed

1. Match the Plugin Bit-Depth
All plugs are 64 bit

2. Disable Kontakt Multi-Processor Support
Not possible in Kontakt 8.7.1

3. Adjust Virtual Memory (Paging File)
32 RAM no errors, 6 gig paging file System managed

4. Reset Kontakt Database
Done

5. Check Audio Buffer Size
Set to 512

6. Force Fixed Buffer Size in Kontakt
Not possible in 8.7.1

7. Reinitialize the Database
Done

5. Check Sample Drive Connection
Internal SSD - done
