Components dont load

2016-02-16 17:11:43

Hello everybody.

I installed foobar2000 to listen sound through foo_dsp_soundtouch.dll 432Hz and 5.1 through foo_dsp_fsurround.dll.

Today I turn on my computer and these 2 plugins and all other do not load. In preferences, components, installed components, plugins list appears in light gray but no interaction is possible except right click and "about".

Could someone help me please?

If the plugin appears (with its name) on this preferences page, it was successfully loaded. Did you get any error message that the plugins were not loaded?

If a plugin entry display grayed out on the preferences page, it means the plugin was loaded from the components subdirectory of the foobar2000 installation directory. These plugins are supposed to be updated by the foobar2000 installer. Components which are installed via this preferences page are installed into the user-components subdirectory of the foobar2000 profile directory. Their name appears in black and they can be removed and updated via the preferences page.

Hi and thank you for your time.

I have no error message, I execute the program as always without there was nothing in particular that have changed. My plugins are in C: \ Program Files (x86) \ foobar2000 \ components. When I "get updates" this marks me "No updatable components present.".

Really, all non core components should be removed from main foobar folder. This is the proper installation method...

BTW, to actually use the component you have installed, you need to look at Preferences>Playback>DSP manager.
