I don't have these issues neither.

(nforce2 - Audigy 2 - .net 1.1)

Should be your soundchip or driver issues.

Shame on me, but what is Mode: "Copy" under the Upmix tab?

I don't know if there's any easy way for component devs to access the keyboard shortcut interface, but if there's an API for that, I'd love to be able to control some of the settings at the press of a button, specifically to switch between 6 channel and 2 channel (aka headphone) mix. I don't know whether anybody else is interested in it, maybe I'm the only one.

Anyway, thanks for the plugin, it's awesome.

Thanks for your suggestion.
I plan to add profiles in which sets of settings will be saved. After that, I shall add possibility of switching of profiles automatically or manually.

Based on what ive tried it seems to be a problem with channel mixer, after i installed the latest .Net framwork.

Channel Mixer does not depend from .Net framework.

Check your settings in
Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices Properties -> Volume -> Advanced -> Hardware Acceleration.

"Copy" means that stereo channels are simply copied to front and rear channels while upmixing without any additional processing.
"Surround" processes the stereo signal instead of just copying it to the front and rear channels.

Hey,

Well for some reason I can not enable the subwoofer settings. All are grayed out and do not know why.

And everything else appears to be working fine and yes it does sound better after I changed Rear settings.

I have an audigy 2 plat. pro. Using old 5.1 speakers atm. Are they just not supported?

My subwoofer is working fine.

Thanks,
Will

yes, a quick-switch profile feature would be most useful... i use your plugin to give me bass from sub when i play games with 5.1 audio - works great

however a profile switch mode for the dsp stack would be even better methinks

maybe i should make a thread for such a feature request?

peter doesent seem to be doing much developing atm, but we could get it for the next version mebbe

How about copying or redirecting some channels to another sound output device?

I would love to be able to send for instance the front channels to my onboard soundcard instead of the usb, since the onboard can output them via S/PDIF.

Search for output plug which can do this for you. DSP plugins can't control this...

First off id like to thank you for letting foobar do something with all my speakers, but i think ive found a problem with channel mixer.

About a week ago i installed the .Net framework, and upgraded channel mixer to 0.6 and now every so often (about every 5 minutes) audio playback either stops completly or slows down and is filled with buzzes and cracks. The foobar console shows nothing, when the track pauses playing, moving the slider restarts playback. Tracks can freeze or start buzzing at any point in the track, seemingly at random.

Ive removed everything from my dsp chain except channel mixer, have tried using different output methods (directsound, waveout) and found that kernel streaming is even worse (constant buzzing and hissing)

Im running XP pro on a nforce2 w/ soundstorm motherboard, latest drivers and updates, have reinstalled foobar from scratch and the problem is still there.

It effects mp3, wave and ogg files (i dont have any other formats) and does not effect media player classic, windows media player or other media players ive tried.

Based on what ive tried it seems to be a problem with channel mixer, after i installed the latest .Net framwork.

Hope you can help

Nick

Hello
I'm a french user.
At first, thanks a lot for channel_mixer it's a very great composant.
I have the same problem with a A7N8X-E deluxe with the 6 channel mode Foobar stops complettly.
Did you use RG info ?
With 6 channel mode foobar stops with or without RG info.
But in 4 for channle mode, foobar slows down and don't play with RG info in "album"

No problems on my Nforce 2 board.............latestest drivers(5.10 for the board and 4.57 for audio), and net 1.1......and the newest channel mixer..........the only problem I have had is kernal streaming never works for me in 6 channel mode, but then again it never worked, when I tried to play an audio file with 6 channels...............

Whether appearance of this symptom depends on change of options of the subwoofer or playing 6-channels tracks w/o Channel Mixer?

Channel Mixer does not use metainfo from tracks.
Try to test foobar w/o channel mixer with DSP plugin "convert stereo to 4 channels". Does the problem persist?

Whatever subwoofer reglage's or other, foobar stops completly with 6 channel

Channel is not in trouble with RG info, the problem was with other composant.

What did you try to open it with? Occasionally the .ZIP opener thingy inbuilt into XP will do that. Try something like WinRAR or 7-Zip.

I thnk I've find solution for 6 channel problem.
The defficient was the kernel streaming, with this outpout foobar stop but not with directsound 2 or 2.5 output

Chastity

Mar 25 2005, 16:06

Jinroh:

1) You have problems downloading the file without corruption.
2) Then you cannot play 6 channels using Kernal Streaming

What soundcard and OS are you using? Sounds to me you have bigger issues.

If you have no problems at all - you are happy man

Sweet.. A new version again.. The profiles are something I was just thinking about last week: "Wish this had profiles".. Can you read minds over great distances or somethign?

Anyway, cant wait to try this out this week..

Thank you for the continued developement.

(Update)

Could not wait.. Quick took the time to give it a brief try.. All seems to work great..

The plugin does not have any dependencies except msvcr71.dll.

If I'll have enough time, I'll try to test the plugin on Windows ME (oh, shit!

) and maybe I'll fix it.

skipyrich: any chance you can do the following:

1) Add 7 and 8 channel support? At least for "copy" mode
2) compile it with latest SDK

foo_channel_mixer was compiled with the latest SDK (0.8.2). What's the problems with this build?

After months of listening to music with foobar2000, Audigy2 and Logitech Z5500, I just recently noticed nothing was coming out of the center channel, even with Creative's CMSS3D enabled. This component is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you.

Jun 3 2005, 11:46

first of all. i apreciate your grateful plugin. i'm using it very usefully...

and i'll suggest something.

1) adding option about "2.1 channel". i am using 5.1 channel speaker.

but i don't like 5-way sound when i listen to the music. it's too dizzy...

i think only front speaker and subwoofer are essential in the music.

2) in the upmix option, this plugin provides surround and copy.

but, virtual 5.1 upmix option(like dolby prologic 2, qmss) will be useful too.

especially, it will be more good with the live albums...

thanks, and sorry for my poor english...
