SAM Broadcaster Won’t Open After Reboot

I recently saw a post on the Spacial Audio SAM Broadcaster Forums
SAM Broadcaster Pro won't open after reboot!

When I restart my computer SAM Broadcaster won’t open

SAM Broadcaster going wrong is nothing new its been an issue for over 20 years.

In the past I've had to uninstall and reinstall SAM Broadcaster after the program went wrong.

What causes SAM Broadcaster and it’s program files/database structure to become corrupted during a reboot of the computer is anyone’s guess.

This has happened on different operating systems from XP to Windows 10

Another SAM user said it turned out to be an issue with the core or GUI XML being corrupted by an improper shutdown of the software.

The SAM Broadcaster database tables became corrupted after a reboot of the computer which required a reinstall of the software.

I was having to reinstall SAM Broadcaster at least once a Week

The problem was even worse if your PC was suddenly shut down or a power cut happened the database would corrupt itself.

It got annoying having to constantly reinstall SAM when it went wrong.


Q: Why do people still pay Spacial Audio for badly written software?

A: I WISH I knew answer to that question SAM Broadcaster has no place in a radio studio


This problem isn’t just confined to SAM Broadcaster it happens with other Spacial software.

I did a couple of searches on Google and it would appear users have also had an issues with SAM Cast and SAM DJ also not opening after a reboot.

So that says to me that Spacial Audio code Bad Software

I'm certain the Spacial know about the issues with their software and they seem almost Blinkered to the fact those problems exist.
