I'm not stopping you from creating a bug report, just warning that getting correct stereo playback may not be so simple.

MP3 - General / Re: Resurrecting/Preserving the Helix MP3 encoder
Last post by KevinB52379 -Thanks for the update and happy to hear you got it solved. ZoomText sounds very invasive if it can cause the system to slow down. Would be fun to figure out what the problem is, but the software seems to be expensive and I don't even see demo option.
@Case - I mentioned before that I am legally blind, so Zoomtext is a vital piece of software for me to have in order to use the computer.
You are correct, Zoomtext is expensive. I purchase a Home license, which is a subscription based plan. So I buy 5 years at a time for $500. For me, it's wroth it.
You can download a trial version of Zoomtext, but the caveat is that it doesn't expire in a certain amount of days, but instead, it can only run 40 minutes at a time, and then the system must restart to reset the activation timer.
I am not quite sure why this is happening with Zoomtext. To be honest, I've had other issues with other things and Zoomtext, and I'm usually told I'm the only one who reports such issues, or that the program I'm having issues with (in this case Helix) is NOT officially supported by the Zoomtext software.
I do know that Zoomtext mirrors the screen and obviously enlarges it. So I believe there may be some type of mirroring driver installed so it interfaces with windows and the screen. I know for a fact there are services running in the background.
My guess to as to why exiting Zoomtext didn't work, is because it isn't completely unloading everything in the background, so services, etc are still running.
Anyway, if you're interested in trying Zoomtext, it can be downloaded here:

3rd Party Plugins - (fb2k) / Re: OpenMPT Module Decoder
Last post by LigH -I searched a little for "Symphonie module documentation / specification" but did not yet find them. Found a github repo of "compileable" sources at most. So it seems chances are that the player which allowed Nikol Nazarov to record MP3s from these modules is more elaborate than your OpenMPT module's source.
Shall I make a new issue on the tracker, linking the samples there as well?
PS: I tried to write Patrick Meng an email. But the bluewin address failed.

I figured out the issue!
The issue is totally on my end, and I apologize to everyone, and I appreciate everyone looking into this issue.
It turns out that the issue occurs with my screen magnification software, which is called ZoomText.
Closing down the software wasn't enough, I had to uninstall it completely, and then use the Windows built in magnifier so I could at least try encoding again.
This time @Case last binary he uploaded worked perfectly.
I had tried uninstalling Process Lasso, AVG Internet Security, and then because the issue seemed to be with the way things were updating on the screen so slowly (If not at all), I decided to try and uninstall Zoomtext.
Still, I wonder why @JoshuaChang version doesn't cause this issue, and his clang binary has been the fastest by far with @Case version being second (the latest 64 bit build he uploaded to this thread).
Anyway, I just wanted to say I'm so sorry for driving people crazy and have everyone go through hoops to try and help me troubleshoot the issue.
