Deleted my hd-player.x by mistake now I can't access any software JAMIL HOSSAIN
On Audacity, if you import HD-Player.exe as a RAW file with the enconding as "Signed 16-bit PCM", with just one channel, and listen to it, at 00:00:48.300 you will hear a sound similar to a coin of bags falling on the floor proceeded with an eerie chime (that sounds like the MacOS crash chime). Can someone test it and try to understand what it is? Maybe it is a coincidence, or an easter egg, or even a sond effect of Bluestacks, I have no clue. Lucas Goes Guimarães
I found it by accident while looking at resource monitor, trying to figure out why my network was so busy when it should be idle. I exited Bluestacks, but this HD Player took itst time shutting down, just hanging around, eating up resources. It eventually went away. Thats my story & Im sticking to it =) Me
