I reckon it's most likely they have tested with a small machine base
regarding Vista. Under XP, Vegas runs on almost anything, so I rather
suspect it's Vista which is the main culprit (but this is a known thing
about Vista).

I'll second Premiere Elements, so it's a fair assumption that Pro would work
as well. I personally would rather switch than go through as much trouble
as you appear to be going through. Even if you get it to work, it might be
only a matter of time until some new problem crops up.

I use a older version of Vegas on Vista with a Pentium Quad 4 overclocked
cpu to 3300 MHz, and two NVidia 8800 graphic cards, it works fine. never
had a problem. I have yet to load the HDDVD new version on this computer,
since it is on a computer running XP Pro. Perhaps I won't be in such a
hurry to put the update on the "beast".

Did you ever figure out this problem? I'm having the exact same
problem, and reinstalling the "Microsoft Visual C++ 2005
Redistributable" didn't work, and neither did switching out
aviplug.dll.. The interesting thing about my case is that I installed
the trial version 8.0c back in December, and used it with no
problems.. Today, I uninstalled 8.0c, installed 8.0b and I got the
failure when "Initializing Audio Engine" at startup.. I ended up
uninstalling 8.0b, reinstalling the trial version, and entering my
serial number from my "bought" version - it installed ok, but still
gives me the same error..
I'm now pulling my hair out - I guess something I installed since this
is f'ing things up - but I have no idea what it could be since it's
been 2 months.. Has anyone gotten around this?

I just found my culprit - I had installed Corel DVD Copy 6 after Vegas
Video 8.0b - somehow that was corrupting Vegas.. I just uninstalled
it, and Vegas is working again..

Thanks Terry, I had exactly this problem of vegas pro 8.0.b not
initializing due to the "audio UI" problem everyone has described. I
tried all the previous fixes, but uninstalling "corel DVD copy pro"
instantly fixed vegas. What a relief!
So... I recently have been having issues with both Vegas 7.0 and 8.0
in vista. Well I am pretty sure I have figured out the loading
issue. It's amazing that Sony can't figure this crap out, because I
did in about 5 minutes.
*IF YOU EVER HAVE ISSUES WITH SOFTWARE IN VISTA DO THIS:*
The key to this, is on the bottom. You select individual programs to
turn off this retarded DEP bull****. Once I did it, it worked. I did
it for DVD Shrink too and that fixed that too. DEP IS EVIL!
Change Data Execution Prevention settings
Data Execution Prevention (DEP) is a security feature that helps
prevent damage from viruses and other security threats by monitoring
your programs to make sure they use system memory safely.
If you choose to protect all programs, you can still turn off DEP for
individual programs. If you suspect that a program does not run
correctly when DEP is turned on, check for a DEP-compatible version of
the program or an update from the software publisher before you change
any DEP settings.
Click to open System.
Click Advanced System Settings. If you are prompted for an
administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide
confirmation.
Under Performance, click Settings.
Click the Data Execution Prevention tab, and then click Turn on DEP
for all programs and services except those I select.
To turn off DEP for an individual program
Select the check box next to the program that you want to turn off DEP
for, and then click OK.
If the program is not in the list, click Add. Browse to the Program
Files folder, find the executable file for the program (it will have
an .exe file extension), and then click Open.

What is Data Execution Prevention?
Data Execution Prevention: frequently asked questions
I found this "DEP" method very necessary to allow some Ulead software to run
under XP, but surprisingly have not needed to do so under Vista for Ulead or
for Vegas Pro 8.0b.
Since DEP is intended to prevent both malicious as well as poorly designed
software to execute outside its own allocated area of memory, it serves a
very useful purpose. The software developers **SHOULD** recognize this as an
immediate piece of evidence that their code is not executing as it should.
Sony and Ulead should take note!
For whatever reason, my Vista loaded and runs Vegas Pro 8 without this issue
but I have seen numerous reports of Vista problems. none of which I have yet
encountered.
