Problem with RDPSND.DLL

I have an application in Visual Basic, using .NET Framework 2.0. This application is run at the client site on thin clients using Windows Terminal Services. It is a sort of Point-Of-Sale, and makes a sound when a item is successfuly scanned.

In remote desktop, we have enabled sound to be carried to the local computer.

It has been working fine till now, but has developed a snag for last few days. After a few lines are scanned (never after a fixed number of lines) - the application crashes.

Upon examination of event viewer I found the following:

Faulting application bonepose.exe, version 2.0.0.0, stamp 4a683010, faulting module rdpsnd.dll, version 5.2.3790.0, stamp 3e8024be, debug? 0, fault address 0x000029d5.

After this, I tried running the application without the sound and it worked.

How can I fix this problem? Any ideas?

PS: After crash, if we restart the application, it become really slow. It takes almost 30 seconds to scan a line - where it otherwise takes less than a second.

I experienced a weird case similar to this one, and I wanted to share it just in case it may help (although this is an old post):

The symptons were:

In my case, the source of the problem was due to mixing managed DLLs with unmanaged code. To solve this problem, I changed the order used for the input LIBs in the link section (managed ones at the begining), and it fixed the problem.

  1. Are all the service packs installed on your machine? Which OS BTW?
  2. Can you try and replace the file with a build in Winodws Sound? Does it still happens?
  3. Which API to play the sound are you using?

Sounds like the audio driver is ornery. Update the audio driver. Alternatively disable the audio on the box, or remove your app's audio code.
