"acoustic bridge settings have been locked down by your administrator"

 

When i try to go to the settings on Acoustic bridge i get this message. I have reinstalled, cleaned the registry, downloaded the latest version. Just about anything i can think of.

Its not working properly with my acer w510 tablet with win 8 either. I cant send audio with the speakers on mute. 

 

Help me pls.

Clicking yes there should open it elevated and let you make changes.

You can also launch it by using run as admin on the configuration app.

And you clicked yes on the message that told you that it was locked?

I have tried just about everything.. Run as administrator, release rights. etc. I have been a pc geek for 15 years, so i am no newbie to such things.

When i click yes, the message just loops. When i click no, the settings window opens with no possibilities to click anywhere but close and help.

What should happen is it prompts you about it being locked and asks you if you want to run elevated.

You say yes and it relaunches itself (after a UAC prompt) and displays another message box telling you that the settings are read only but would you like to unlock them.  If you say yes to this one as well it then resets the registry key which controls locking, it not it opens the UI in greyed out mode.  From the description it sounds like you have been saying no to the second one, or the UAC relaunch doesn't work for some reason.

The key that controls locked state is stored in the local machine registry hive under Software\Stardock\Remote\Remote.ini\RemoteAudio

Thanks. That did it. Changed registry value for lock to 0.

 

Thanks for the help.

 

btw. The settings was in:  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Stardock\RemoteAudio\Remote.ini\RemoteAudio
