I can confirm that it works, once I had located PL2XDLL (it comes with PowerDVD Deluxe for example).
Looking forward for some tweakability cool.gif . I'm hoping for (in this order shifty.gif ): switch between Cinema and Music mode (fixed to Music mode is acceptable), Center Width (to balance center and L+R), Dimension (to balance front and back), and maybe Panorama (kind of extended stereo).

I hear you :-). Currently it's fixed to music mode.
As for "Center Width" and "Dimension", I think that these options are not supported by this implementation.
At least PowerDVD doesn't use it [..] (look at the manufacturer of the DLL).

Oops, I see. And I assumed it was from Dolby sad.gif
Seems like this is it then (as far as 5.1 is concerned). Thanks for explaining.

OK, got it loaded, found PLX2DLL and everything sounds great. However, when I go to preferences--> DSP Manager and enable the wrapper, the configure button stays greyed out. Where are you guys configuring this dll?

hi, tested this and when i select it in DSP i can hear the difference but i was expecting the blue light (5.1) to light up on my amp? is this supposed to happen? im using a optical out

There is nothing to configure yet. Its currently fixed to PL2 Music Mode (which should be ok).
But I will add a switch for this plus 5.1/7.1 mode and separate volume controls for all channels in the future.
I am not sure whether PL2XDLL supports the additional music mode controls "dimension","center width" and "panorama mode" which you may know from some A/V receivers. At least I couln't find them yet.

This will only work if your sound chip can encode 5.1 into dolby digital on the fly. AFAIK only nVidia Soundstorm can do this (nForce >=2). Try the channeltest.mp3 (on my site) to check if everything works.

Thanks pro,  I'd like to test the channeltestmp3 you mentioned but what is your web address?

Use the pl2_featuretest dll that is on the same site instead.

Hi folks!

I have the same problem but there isn't that pl2_featuretest dll anymore, i'm using pl2xdll.dll ver. 3.0.0.3230 from powerdvd.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for replying!

Well i was just curious about dolby stuff, i only have 2.0 system,
i tried free surround with (alessandro ms-1) headphones, with and without dolby hp wrapper and obviously sounded pretty much the same all the way,
that's all,i don't mind that error anymore.

BTW: one little thing that drived me stark raving mad with foobar recently was/is the title formatting of status bar.  I wanted it to show VBR or CBR (with mp3's) correspondingly, but only CBR showed up correctly. Well that's almost fixed now except on one album.....
Then i checked out the "Format: MP3 / 192 / VBR / JS"-line(shows the quality of an album) which seems to show the correct CBR/VBR-mode everytime. So i went to prefs/disp/columns ui/pl view/colums/album-mode:

Code: [Select]

// FILEFORMAT AND REPLAYGAIN
// linepos-check
$select($sub($num($get_global(tracknr),1),$get(lineadjust)),
// fileformat
$get_global(standard_color_low)'Format: '
$get_global(standard_color)$get_global(filetype2)' / '
[b]$get_global(quality2)[/b]
// albumgain
$if(%__replaygain_album_gain%,
$char(9)$get_global(standard_color_low)'Gain: '
$get_global(standard_color)%__replaygain_album_gain%
)
// end linepos-check
)
$puts(lineadjust,$add($get(lineadjust),1))

that quality2 seems to be the linked with bitratemode in Format: ..., so next step was globals/variables:

Code: [Select]

$puts([b]quality2[/b],$replace($get(quality),[$info(bitrate_dynamic)],[$info(bitrate)]))

that line of code above defines(imo?) the variable quality2, but here's the question: WHY can't i use $get_global(quality2) in status bar? When i try it this comes on status bar: [UNKNOWN FUNCTION]

Maybe i'm an idiot but i just can't get the hang of this. I need help.


Best Regards
