Comments below assume only one soundcard. Different/higher sample rate are unlikely to help unless the source application "knows" it is outputting to the sample rate. IIRC Most Windows applications output at 48/16 (and windows system sounds) and so Windows Audio converts everything to that rate. A better soundcard won't help - wavin.exe takes the audio directly from Windows Audio API before the PCM samples before being sent to audio card but after Windows messing about with the Audio. As system audio output on Windows can be shared/mixed amongst all application - Audio quality can vary depending on what is running. I suggest make sure only the only audio "playing" application is running(i.e. no other application or explorer etc) and turn off all Windows sound effects/processing and probably use 48000 or 44100 16 bit. A second dedicated audio card (e.g. usb audio) might produce different results freed from shared use with Windows apps. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115144 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
