I would like to configure my PC for movie playback, what should I do?
 
The Halide Bridge I am using needs 24 bit input and foobar + wasapi works but kmplayer + reclock doesn't.

WASAPI Excl. and 24bit output would do.
 
PotPlayer is great too: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=148745

Yes, KMPlayer is now obsolete, Potplayer is like a upgrade version made by the same maker with new features, lighter and great integrated skins (even KMP skin).
 
I need to make a new tutorial.

Thanks, this is new to me. I will try and report back.

Reclock + Potplayer is working great (thanks for the tip!), Besides setting Reclock to 24 bit I set the buffer to 50 ms as I do in Foobar. Unfortunately with deep bass I get a little clipping, hopefully with some trickery I can avoid it.

There's no point in lowering the buffer in audio-only mode, I've got it set to 75ms

 

[padam]

Yes, the Halide only doesn't like high buffer.
 
Is there a way to get rid of the little distortions? Shall I disable all kinds of audio filters?
 
And do I get right that the volume control should be set to master?

That's not the soundcard's driver buffer, that's Reclock's internal buffer..whatever you will input will not affect Windows AFAIK. At 75ms, you shouldn't be getting any "distortion". I can't talk for your media player's filters....all you need is ffdshow IME.
 
Reclock's internal volume control runs in 53bit...a lot more than Windows 32fp, so if I were you, I'd leave the media player's volume control set on "default".
 

Potplayer [..] I need to make a new tutorial.

Sounds great, but you can't do gapless in either of those regular DS players...which is completely unacceptable in 2010 IMHO.
 
I was told that you could get Reclock to do gapless and VST plugins using JRiver's software: http://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php?topic=58524.0
 
Now, this kind of tutorial would be seriously great.

I don't get any distortion with music playback, only with movies and it doesn't matter if the audio is 2.0 or 5.1

 

[leeperry]

so it's got to do w/ the decoders or your media player configuration...if I were you, I'd install PotPlayer, disable its built-in filters, and use ffdshow on top. That's what I do, everything works wonderfully in Reclock.

Upgraded to the latest Potplayer using the built-in update, and now the clipping stops after 10 seconds or so, so I guess it is a buffer-related issue.
