[MCE 2005] Kmixer omzeilen in MCE2005*

[Zandor]

Als ik beetje mooi muziek wil luisteren, op mijn media center met m-audio revolution , doe ik het nu via winamp (asio). is het mogelijk om MCE2005 zo te configureren dat die rotte kmixer omzeild wordt en het dus niet lelijk geresampled wordt.
Volume regelen doe ik wel via versterker.

The mixer I am referring to in the title is Microsoft's Kmixer (an excellent definition is in that guide on the fourth post). The end result is Kmixer resampling CD audio from 44.1kHz to 48kHz. This adds unnecessary artifacts to the sound stream. However, unlike upsampling video, this is not a good thing. There are a couple of ways to deal with this. Although utilizing Kernel Streaming is mentioned as a method to bypass Kmixer, it is not widely supported by many media players. A more common method is using a ASIO wrapper for your drivers and have a compatible media player that supports the ASIO output model.

De kmixer omzeil je met een asio driver voor je audiokaard, deze klinkt dan veeeel beter.. deze zelfde duidelijk hoorbare verbetering zou ik willen voor al mijn geluid in mce2005.

Wat ik ervan begrijp, doe je dit op dezelfde manier als in XP.
How do I use an ASIO->KS wrapper?
ASIO4ALL
ASIOx
ASIO2KS

These are the three available wrappers that I know of. ASIO4ALL and ASIOx are still in developement, but ASIO2KS seems to be dead. I personally have not used ASIOx or ASIO2KS as ASIO4ALL does everything I have tried to make it do so far, but it is perfectly safe to install all 3 at the same time with no adverse effects. This will result in you being able to pick which wrapper to use from within your different audio programs. Perhaps there are programs I haven't seen yet that will work with one wrapper and won't work with others. Do yourself a favor though and just start out with ASIO4ALL, but be willing to move to another one if you have problems. Since ASIO4ALL is the favored wrapper around here, that will be the one I focus on initially. I will come back and add in notes on other wrappers at a later time.

Upon installing ASIO4ALL, you will get a control panel for it on your desktop. Open that up and set it up as follows. The buffers I have described here are huge, but it is better to have large buffers when trying to get it to work, and then work the buffers down once you know things are functional.
Audio Device = Envy24 Family Audio (WDM)
Sample Rate = (greyed out)
Buffer Size = 2048
KS Buffers = 4
Always resample @ 44.1khz = off
Disable input = on
Force 16 bit samples = off
Direct DMA Buffer I/O = off

Now, go grab Winamp and the ASIO plugin and set up the plugin as described below. Try playing an MP3/CD Audio track and see if you have success. It works? Good! The battle is half won! If you are using SPDIF in your setup, and have a reciever that does DTS decoding, then you need to do a 44.1 khz DTS test. If the DTS test passes as well, then you are one step closer. Do one last test with a DVD or Divx with an AC3 track and see if that still works. If it does, then you are good to go. Welcome to the bit perfect world! At this point you should fiddle with the buffers in the ASIO control panel and Winamp to see how low you can get them without noise/dropouts. Of course you can also use other ASIO-enabled programs as well now, but I will leave the details of that up to you. You know the concept of getting this to work, that was my aim.

enfin ik ben geen echte audio-freak en mijn kennis gaat niet verder dan wat ik net heb gelezen en heb gevonden. suk6.
