Hmm.. quick question here - if using Wasapi thingie - the Windows volume control should not work right? So if it still does - then that means I did something wrong?

^ Well my volume does not work.

 

[umbalito]

^ thanks man.

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

downloaded wasapi.dll, dropped it in the components folder, checked the components node in the Foobar preferences and it shows wasapi output support, ver 1.2

I'm running a Dared MP5 dac/amp through USB - it shows up as a "Burr-Brown Japan PC2702" - so I select "Wasapi: Speakers (Burr-Brown Japan PC2702)" as the output device in Foobar. It is also already the default Audio device in Windows. 16 bit and 800ms buffer.

However, I can still change the volume through the Windows volume slider.

I'm running Vista with SP1.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

My volume slider works, if it sounds good then I would not worry about it.

Dunno, perhaps it depends which media-player you use? I'm using foobar2000, with which the dB-setting works...although it is always 0.

Your most welcome, let me know if you see any mistakes guys.

Quick update: ECS Motherboard A780GM-A - Bit-perfect through onboard?
So far, no luck with this new mainboard.

For starters, the ONLY output I have for digital audio is via the HDMI connector (there is a header for optical/coax, but I don't have the connector yet)
When I try kernel streaming through foobar, I get an error message.
Haven't yet tried Asio or Wasapi

Promising lead? When I set the onboard soundchip to "output 2" I didn't get the error in Foobar - this is presumably the output where I just have the header on the mainboard right now...
But does this make sense? Why would I get bit-perfect through one type of digital output - the header to optical/coax on the mainboard - but not through the other type of digital connector, the audio path on the hdmi?
Still confused.

I would be pursuing other efforts to get the audio squared away, but I'm also having an issue with the Integrated graphics cutting out my video. Maybe I should try a replacement board, or start with another board altogeher....

Ideas welcome...

is there a way to use ASIO4ALL(& VAC?) to output to ASIO from MPC? I like ffdshow too much

 

[olblueyez]

MPC ffdshow ???????

I would like to use VAC/ASIO4ALL or JackRouter to output in DirectSound/Waveout from Media Player Classic and then get it bitperfect somehow(ASIO/KS)...possible

 

[Kpalsm]

Thanks for this thread blueyez. Had no idea why ASIO wasn't working before; I forgot to select the output method in the drop-down menu /facepalm. I got it working but it would skip once or twice every minute, couldn't figure out why so I switched to WASAPI and it works beautifully. Mmmm, dynamics.

Usin Windows 7 RC1. Volume control still works but I can live with that since I don't have a DAC to output S/PDIF to, yet.

Thanks again!

 

[olblueyez]

Glad it worked for you!

Let me add to this thread that WASAPI works best with the lowest buffer setting 100ms in foobar for me. no lags now and I hear no degradation of sound. Maybe if any, placebo tells me the sound is faster/more effortless

Thanks for this thread olblueyez
