In the past you indicated that the problem is fully solved by adding the following to MM.ini file: [out_ds] cfg_hw_mix=1 Is it right, i.e. does it fully fix the problem? |

Yes, as this way MMs output Plugin (OUT_DS.DLL) uses DirectX Calls to Windows Sound Card Driver which results in 5.1, 7.1(I use that),... or other settings set by user in Control Panel->Sounds and Audio Devices Proporties->Speaker Settings->Advanced Audio proporties(Advanced...). This setting works only if OUT_DS is used like indicated in MM.INI and supported by Sound Hardware (all motherboard integrated sound cards that I have tested ~20 different types support worked and the most of them are from C-Media, Realtek and nVidia). Also I have tested that on several Creative and Teratec Sound cards which also work. Re Fix: There should be tutorial how to make this work as OUT_DS settings do not By default uses "Hardware Mixing", also if cfg_hw_mix=1 and hardware do not support it is is ignored and then on MM exit it is reset to cfg_hw_mix=0. So my proposal is that MM on start check INI for cfg_hw_mix=1 and in case cfg_hw_mix=0 Write cfg_hw_mix=1 to ini before plugins are initialized. |

Peke, so could you implement this in WinAmpPlugins.pas (before loading output plugins)? |

This was fixed as part of 2545. Need to validate. |
