The butterfly effect
Software does have some control of timing issues.

I'm waiting for a player that models chaos theory in order to get more predictable timing out of a modern computer.

You mean like a software "engineer"?

When you open the settings program and you open the settings (Ctrl+P), you need to have an ASIO compatible driver to work, otherwise you cannot choose the ASIO output device (the DACPort has a driver like that for instance but not by default, has to be downloaded separately)
After that you have to copy the cfg file to the main program folder.
 
And you need to have the music in the right format (Wav for Wav version etc.) otherwise the playback will not start. Same for the sample rate as well.

(5.12.2011 updated)
 
In this version it uses different optimization settings for different CPUs,
to get the highest sound quality possible.
 
You can use CPU-Z to determine CPU SSE version.
 
 
foobar2000 HD (Intel):
SSE4.2: ASIO  /  KS/waveOut

SSE4.1: ASIO  /  KS/waveOut
SSE3:   ASIO  /  KS/waveOut
SSE2:   ASIO  /  KS/waveOut
 
foobar2000 HD (AMD):
SSE4.2:  ASIO  /  KS/waveOut
SSE4.1:  ASIO  /  KS/waveOut
SSE3/4A: ASIO  /  KS/waveOut
SSE2:    ASIO  /  KS/waveOut

This is a basic player with sound quality as the primary target so forget about the interfase.

do u mean to add files into foobarHD playlist?
first you have to run the fooassoc.exe in the KS WAV directory,to let windows associate your files with foobarHD,then you find ur WAV files,right click on them and select enqueue,i think that will do.

if I understood corretly, then I need to copy & overwrite the files in the normal foobar directory, right?
 
but whats actually the point of this if flac and wasapi is not supported? anyone listening to high class mp3 files LOL ? or has their music collection all stored in wave format?

Just a quick question, do normal foobar plugins work with this? I have a number of DSP plguins for foobar (crossfade, DFX, equalizer) that I really couldn't listen to music without.
 
And what about WASAPI and FLAC support? I wont be able to move to a new player without these features.
