zombie thread i know, but can anyone tell me why when i add the Channel Mixer to my components folder i still can't see it in my list of DSPs?

You just have to restart foobar

 

[bassboysam]

I did, several times

This works very well with my HFI-2400s and difference is very noticeable. I could definately listen with this but I'm so used to normal stereo sound so won't switch to this.

This is an effective and free way to induce pseudo surround for stereo headphones, when using Foobar. Thank you for sharing.
 
If you however have a sound card/motherboard that does Dolby /surround or use Razer surround already, then this method is a moot point.
 
For example, the following setup on a Asus card results in the same sound output as the Foobar method.
 

 
The added benefit, is that it applies to all audio sources, not just Foobar.
 
Ultimately though, any pseudo surround headphone setup, will result in an awkward acoustic environment e.g. 'boxy' 'claustrophobic' 'underwater' 'reverb' etc.
 
If your music is flat, the better option is to stay in stereo and equalize for more dynamics.

FLAC + WASAPI I get "Unrecoverable playback error: Unsupported stream format: 96000 Hz / 24-bit / 6 channels".
Any tips?

The error message says, that your soundcard or your soundcard settings can't handle 96000 Hz / 24-bit / 6 channels. So you have to change your soundcard settings to 96000 Hz / 24-bit / 6 channels if possible.
 
When you use the DH  wrapper you have to be sure that you only use max. 48 kHz (higher samplerates are not supported and the dsp have no effect).  For files with 96000 Hz  you need a resampler before the DH dsp in foobar.

 

[spamme]

Isn't better to keep the original 96 hz and no DH instead of down grading to 48 hz?

 

[yay101]

It's saying your hardware can't handle some part of that output. Change to this:
 

 
Chances are the DH can't handle 96khz and as such is not changing it back to 2 channels, what your hardware is expecting. Put a resampler in your chain.

im really really interested on doing this

Nothing short of astounding! Great work, thank you!

Wow! Its been about 4 years since I last posted in this thread. Awesome to see it still going strong! Recently reinstalled Foobar2000, and am still blown away by the quality of this setup. I probably could tweak it a bit more to get it just right, but after reading through the last 20 or so pages, doesn't look like a whole lot has changed.

 

[davidsh]

It works quite well, makes me want to get the smyth realizer

I have everything sorted by folders so I just drag/drop, pretty much just use Foobar for global play/pause shortcut and the 5.1 DSP setup. I also have some convolves set up to boost the bass of the HE-500s.
