I did what you said and this is what it said : DirectSound test results: Failure at step 3 (DirectSoundCreate): HRESULT = 0x88780078 (No driver)

Maybe the "kmixer" does the re-sampling on the fly (as it can do) when hardware expects say 96kHz but the source/player sends 44.1kHz data. Doesn't the WMP 11 use DS or MME path? |

IO guess kmixer (or CT software/driver/hardware) sets all then by the highest SR (i.e. re-samples all to highest sample rate). I tried this using Audigy 2 and by outputting from - Beatport SYNC using ASIO @16/48, - Foobar 0.9.x using DirectSound 2.0 @ 16/44.1 - Foobar 0.8.x using waveout+resampler @ 16/88.2 and - WMP 9 using DirectSound @ 24/96 source at once ... quite a mess jiitee |
