DAX error ("Context Menu Audio Converter")

12.33 DOpus. Lately many times I get a dax error with the screen animating like it is moving columns files etc. Cannot close must use taskbar to get out. Very strange. How do I fix this ? Windows 10

What is a dax error? Can you post a screenshot?


I doubt that message is coming from Opus itself. More likely a shell extension DLL something has installed that does something with MP3 files.

If you make a couple of process snapshots and send them to us, we may be able to identify the component that's generating the message.

DAX typically stands for "Direct Access," which aligns with the audio files displayed. It seems that one of your audio device drivers might be experiencing issues.

Checked audio drivers all up-to-date not playing music just sorting with Dopus and renaming. Seems to happen when right click on a single file to rename. Only happens in Dops no other programs ever ?

You should follow Leo's advice and send snapshots.
If you say it happens on right click, this is very coherent with Leo's hint at a shell extension DLL issue.

It's coming from something called "Context Menu Audio Converter".

thank you for isolating problem. converter is from github and works very well for pix-videos-audio etc GitHub - Tichau/FileConverter: File Converter is a very simple tool which allows you to convert and compress files using the context menu in windows explorer.. Is there anything that can fix issue ? thanks again

The issue should be reported to the developers of the extension. Context menu shell extensions shouldn't be displaying dialog boxes at all really (unless it's part of running their action after they are clicked), even if there is an error, so they should fix that.
