What's the best Output format for this? I have his ASIO output plugin going via S/PDIF into my Denon amp?[a href="index.php?act=findpost&pid=356057"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
probably the 64bit option.. but i think it may be a bit much  nice to have the option though

**pay no attention to most of the junk in my last post ^^
i upgraded to the latest version, stream problems gone (unchecking enable streaming didn't seem to work for me before, now it does  ).. although i still wish i could use mpg123 for a stream like -> http;//server:8000.mp3

Do you have any proof to back that up?

AFAIK, it is always desirable to use an output format that your soundcard can handle natively. Usually, 16bit integer will be safe, but if your card can handle 24bit integer, use that instead.

Thanks both of you. I'll have a play and see what happens. I guess it depends what my sound card can pass through to my amp  Probably only 16-bit I think as it's a Chaintech AV710.

BSOD2600, sorry for my delayed response.  Full caching loads the full file in memory (ram) to play it, and to prevent skips.  Disk caching is fine enough, you can turn it off.

This thread is so useful

I wonder if anyone could do the same for the other pages? I can never get the ASIO exe plugin working, the DLL one is fine though.

If you use Winamp 5.11 or newer on an NTFS filesystem, then you don't have to disable the default MP3 decoder anymore.

To the moderators: could the title of this thread be changed to "Otachan's in_!mpg123", please?

I have a TerraTec Aureon Space flashed to Audiotrak Prodigy 7.1. AFAIK it does support 24bit int natively. However, when I switch to 24bit I seem to lose the treble. That's the best way to describe it. Is it normal? Maybe it just me but it does sound dull without them.

Try disabling all equalizers & dithering, bass/treble adjusters, maximize the volume controls, disable volume control in Winamp plugins and try adjusting the volume with analog volume controller in your amplifier?

Forgive my ignorance but good would that do?  BTW I don't have an amplifier, I have MegaWorks speakers, would it be the same?

Depends on what you mean by normal, but I'd say it's normal; I suspect nothing bad is happening.

What about the dullness, you say. Well, I strongly suspect your ears (and your brain) are playing tricks on you.

Now I understand. I appologise for judgung Ihmemies without trying what he suggested.
I disabled every equilizer-type of thing I use and I couldn't hear the difference between 16bit and 24bit mode. After activating the the equilizer and stuff on the Audiotrak's control panel there was again no difference. There was, however, when I messed with winamp's own equilizer and Enhancer the difference was obvious. So I guess there's a difference in the way both winamp's equilizer and Ehancer handle different output mode. Question is why does that happen?
P.S.: Yeah, I know I use a lot of equilizers but I like to colorize a bit the sound and somehow when using only one can't seem to adjust the sound the way I want to.

last I checked.. winamp's EQ only works on 16bit audio, not 24bit.

I just grabbed 'Ver. 1.18y ot107.2', dropped the correct ~86 version in in the Winamp plugin folder and no more of those lousy gaps playing some of my albums in Winamp 5.111 (the last version I'll use).

Thanx for this great info guys.

I don't like the newer ML interface in the v5.2.x.

BTW to get this plugin to work, you might have to play with some settings in the output\direct sound dll\configs of your accelerated hardware/soundcard.  I ended up setting the buffer lengths to 2000/1000/1000ms and enabling normal thread priority setting depending on the system I was working on.  Just change one thing at a time until you nail it.  2000/500/500ms worked on my Dual Xeon workstation.  It seems in my case that the faster the system, the less buffer it needed.  I imagine the sound card/chip also makes a difference.
