So I've finally gotten around to trying out Squeezeslave and It seems to work great on my Vista machine.
I've been testing the optical output on my Gigabyte Motherboard which I believe is using a Realtek ALC889A. In Vista's sound control panel, I've configured the sample rates the Grace is capable of receiving (44.1/48/88.2/96) but it seems as though I have to explicitly set it to one of the settings in order to see any change. Example -> With the audio driver explicitly set to 16/44.1, playing back a 24/96k via Foobar results in a 44.1 signal being sent to the grace (the grace's front panel indicates the sample rate its getting). As expected then, setting the audio driver to 24/96 results in a a 96k signal being sent, which I assume means that regular 16/44.1 audio is being upsampled. Now switching to Squeezeslave, everything seems fine, except for the fact that I cannot seem to get 24/44.1, 24/88.2 or 24/96 test files to play. Squeezecenter doesn't even attempt to start playing the track. So my questions are: 1. Is Squeezeslave capable of playing back FLAC files at anything other than 16/44.1? If so, is it likely a problem with the onboard audio driver that is causing the issue? 2. Is it possible to have the Realtek driver simply spit out audio in the same sample rate as the source file? If not, is setting the driver to 24/96 full time a good idea? 2. Should I investigate installing a 3rd party card with spdif out (M-audio etc?) rather than using the Realtek onboard output? Thanks for any suggestions! -- durufle ------------------------------------------------------------------------ durufle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8397 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=58740 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
