foo input sacd 2011-09-27 18:14:16 Hi everyone, and sorry 4 my bad english... I installed the foo_input_sacd plugin on foobar2000. When I play sacd recordings in ISO format, palyback is distorted and discontinued, with a lot of "scratches". I tryed to unistall and install the plug in again, but problem still persist. With all Hd recordings (24/96) the system works perfectly, except the ISO format of SACD. The software is installed on an Hp Mini 110-3103 with Intel Atom 455 and Windows 7 Starter with latest service pack and updates from Microsoft. Thanks.
foo input sacd Reply #1 – 2011-09-27 18:20:54 This means that Atom 455 is too slow do decode SACD.Added:download foo_benchmark, install it and test SACD decoding: right click -> Utilities -> Decoding Speed Test. Last Edit: 2011-09-27 18:40:12 by lvqcl
foo input sacd Reply #2 – 2011-09-27 21:09:46 I can playback SACD 2.0 tracks fine with a NVIDIA ION at ~75% CPU load.
foo input sacd Reply #4 – 2011-09-27 22:15:10 DST, the cpu load for DSD would be much lower, around 40-50% probably.
foo input sacd Reply #5 – 2011-09-29 12:50:27 @lvqcl: I don't think it's a problem of slow cpu, because I can play HD videos without problems. I can play all other types of HD audio tracks, even 24/192 tracks with a stream of 8Mbit/s that aren't SACD, and it works perfectly. Even in this case, the CPU usage, showed by Task Manager, dosen't exceed 60%. The problem affects only SACD tracks. Does anyone have suggestion? Thanks! -I forgot to mention that CPU usage is about 60% even when I try to play SACD tracks, but playback is still distorted. Last Edit: 2011-09-29 12:55:13 by db1989
foo input sacd Reply #6 – 2011-09-29 15:36:39 Hi arnoldt3I too had the same problem a few weeks back. Being a musician using Logic Audio & Reason I had encountered this before with soft synths, So I opened my soundcards control panel & located the wdm/asio buffersize panel it appeared that a setting of 256 samples (which is my cards default) was too low so I increased it until I had smooth playback, which, was @ 768 samples!Cpu utilisation is very high, but, that is to be expected. I use asio as my output in foobar 1.1.7/1.1.8 along with continuator & GY's VST wrapper DSP'sI hope this helps you get smooth playback too arnoldt3.Slowflow.
foo input sacd Reply #8 – 2011-10-18 10:18:57 Edit: sorry, my mistake! My split file was actually NOT joined. Everything is fine now! Btw, make sure to rename sacd ripper created split file name to the one "File Splitter" is looking for...Just ripped a SACD in iso with a total size of around 4.5GB. sacd ripper split the iso in 2, 1 file in 4GB and a small number 2 file. After some search, I use this File Splitter http://www.filesplitter.org/ to join the iso.I open the iso in foobar and it show all the tracks. But when playback the last 2 tracks, which I guess are on the split file, it said "index out of range" and can not play or convert.What is wrong? ripping? file joining? foo_input_sacd?Thanks in advance.

foo input sacd Reply #9 – 2011-10-18 10:55:56 With the wealth of information you're providing, I'd randomly guess that your file system is FAT32 which cannot handle files bigger than 4GB.
Re: foo input sacd Reply #10 – 2018-09-22 17:11:38 Today's FOO_INPUT_SACD update, I downloaded and checked, version the same before 1.1. 0, but the "Readme file" has been modified as follows, which I think is important.
