Phase 4: Finalizing After the configuration script closes, click Finish . Do NOT reboot immediately. Instead, first test the installation using the method below. Part 5: Verifying a Successful Sone248 Subbed Install To confirm that your install works, run these three tests: Test 1: DirectShow Subsystem Check Open GraphStudioNext (installed with sone248). Drag and drop your test MKV file. You should see a filter chain ending in "Sone248 Subtitle Renderer." If you see "Default DirectSound Device," the install failed. Test 2: Subtitle Rendering Stress Test Open the legacy AVI file in Windows Media Player (not VLC). Add the ASS/SSA subtitle file manually. Play the section with karaoke effects. The text should move smoothly without dropping to 5 FPS. Test 3: Sync Stability Play the 5.1 audio MKV for 40 minutes (or skip to the middle). Pause, then resume. The subtitles should remain synchronized within 50 milliseconds. If they drift, re-run the installer and select "Drift Correction: Aggressive." sone248 subbed install
