What's the card?

Well you could try manually upsampling FLACs to 192/16, then attempting to play... A wild-poke guess is F2000's upsampled internal data stream from FLAC resampled overflows the poor app (or the plugin, specifically... it could be timed, maybe a 100+-msec. output latency could fix something...).

Have you tried 24-bit playback without the resampling plugin, just with KS (or some other...) set to 96/24?

There's also a KS plugin for Winamp,

Which does bring certain questions... Might depend on the FLAC assembly (custom builds?), but does FLAC even support 192 KHz? Here it rejected 32-bit waves, accepted only 24-bit. As for 192 KHz... Eh... Well... There goes the non-linear resample in a wave editor...

 

[Seidhepriest]

On the subject of linear resampling for Winamp... there doesn't seem to be a dedicated DSP plugin for that, however there was a Directx plugin adapter, Adaptx. Now if there's some kind of a dedicated linear resampler (maybe even with the default set of transformers supplied with Directx itself), it could be hooked to Adaptx.

The card is an ESI Juli@. I just tried 192Khz upsampling using SSRC, and it works fine with flacs. Odd. That means its a bug in SRC right?

About AdaptX, do you know if DSP plugins can do upsampling? I thought it was only output plugins that could do that. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[Seidhepriest]

Also try disabling hardware mixing in the SSRC plugin, then switching to 24-bit output...

 

[b0dhi]

SSRC doesn't appear to have a hardware mixing option. Just tried 24bit and it freezes.

 

[Seidhepriest]

Weird it freezes with 24-bit... Something might be going on with the internal quantising in F2000.

Eh sure, any upsampling IS a DSP operation, technically. Digital signal processing. Hence a DSP plugin can handle the operation just as well as any other sound transform...

http://shibatch.sourceforge.net/ - there's an old version of SSRC for Winamp.

Correction: it's here.

Winamp, by the way, should work in 24/32-bit with KS and whichever internal resampling that uses. The old SSRC output plugin is DS though.

 

[b0dhi]

Cpu us at 3% at 96000 Khz and jumps to 100% (freezes) any higher than that. I think it's a bug in SRC. Any idea how I can report it?

So neither of them has the software mixing option?

 

[b0dhi]

I can't find a software/hardware mixing option anywhere in Foobar.

 

[Seidhepriest]

Erm... Did the author leave any bug-report contacts?

 

[b0dhi]

Which version of Foobar do u use? Maybe downgrading to an older version would help.

The author expects me to write a test program before he will look at the bug reports...Can't do that without the code, which isn't supplied. yay.

The point here is, if the resampling plugin (either SRC or SSRC) had a hardware mixing toggle, it could be a problem with the plugin doing a wrong interfacing to the hardware. Hence the software mixing (yes, but the PC's CPU and all...) would be failproof. Here's an old thread concerning the Winamp and F2000 SSRC plugin:

[Seidhepriest]

Here it's just regular 96/24 output with whichever internal resampling F2000 and Audigy-2 use. Last version of Foobar2000.

 

[b0dhi]

In that thread people keep talking about a hardware mixing option in Foobar, but I can't find it. I searched for a config file, searched in the registry...no advanced options anywhere. What the?
