Windows Vista allows audio dsp elements to work "down in driver-land". I.e. applications would just see the familiar full-range audio outputs, while for instance xover filtering would be done behind the scenes.

I think that I would feel safer if things was organised like that, and the processing would be application-independant.


My ideal future PC setup would allow any PC-application to playback any stream, and a low-level set of components would do bass-management, filter xover/limiting, room-correction, and dithered volume control - all configurable and programmable from the user.

In essence, my surround-receiver would be reduced to a "dumb" 7.1channel DAC and power amp (or even power amp only).

Of course, audio would have to be non-DRM to allow us this kind of control - just another argument against DRM.

Hi Francois,
I have active loudspeaker DIY made (Raven,SEAS Excell,Perlless). At the moment I use active crossover Behringer DCX 2496. Sound is perfect. But I want to improve sound because my Behringer is DSP and use at begining A/D conversion and later D/A. With your plugin I think Behringer could be removed.
To get highest possible sound DAC must be outside of PC because PC has noisy enviroment. Best way to connect external DAC is USB port. If I prepare ( for example 3-way system ) 6 DAC boards and connect each board to one USB connection. My question is:  is it possible with your software to redirect sound signal not to audio card output but to specific USB port?
With such combination we can get best quality sound chain.

I'm trying to run the cross over with foobar2000 0.9.6.1 with Vista.  I get the following message:

Failed to load DLL: foo_dsp_xover.dll
Reason: This component is not compatible with this version of Windows and needs to be recompiled with a newer version of the foobar2000 SDK; please contact the author of this component to obtain an updated version of this component.

It looks like there was a SDK release after this .dll which may require foo_dsp_xover.dll to be recompiled.  Can anyone tell me how to get an older version of foobar2000 that works with this .dll or where to get an updated .dll?

TIA

Last fb2k version that will work with this plugin on Vista is 0.9.5.6.
Googling "foobar2000_0.9.5.6.exe mirror": 2nd link is http://www.videohelp.com/tools/foobar2000/old-versions

Well, I can recompile it, but... don't want to test how correct it will work with new SDK.

For me it doesn't work with the latest beta 1.0.

Would someone be kind to recompile?

You can also try Channel divider

Very interesting plugin! Thanks for taking your time to develop it. If I someday need to build another audio system with digital amplification (e.g. MSI Diva) this would be interesting to use.

I can't here anything except LR channel. How to manage it working with Realtek HD audio? Is it Windows related problem? For example Windows Media Player can' route stereo audio file to the rest channels. How DSP can work in such circumstances without using VAC and Console? I don't understand

Hi, nice plug-in but I'm having difficulty.
Firstly, as I understand, 6 channel mode chops stereo up into 5.1 prior to processing and 4 channel into quad-stereo.
but how is 2.1 configured with this plugin?

I can get the bass to work no problem but in 6ch mode half of stereo information is panned to SL+SR resulting in distant/echoed sound when played through only one pair of speakers.
I experimented with "To Left + To Right" but the problem remains.
I have Asio channel mappings matched/configured perfectly.
