Ultimate Audio Playback / Your thoughts about the Sound Quality / Re: CD vs XXHE; is the SQ comparable?

to Telstar:
Do not get what you mean? XX for me is number1 with any settings for Qs. I do not use 4/0/0/0/0 as I hear periodic hiss in my speakers/phones? If I use 14/0/0/0/0 or my sig. settings then no hiss. XMPlay is better than Foobar.
Your signature says 14/15/15/0/0. I said to try 4/0/0/0/0 because the other Q can make the sound too smooth, less realistic. Q0=4 is my favourite, but 14 is also very good. If the comparison was this, no need to do another one.

(loud PRRRRRRR in my case thanks to the cr*ppy drivers). Like a constant repeat of the last buffer contents you mean ? Yes, exactly. But this happens with any player i use when i stop or pause a track. It's some bug in the quartet asio drivers.

Ok ? Thanks ! Peter
Yep, i never touch invert. I called it error because the program crash with a red window and no sound (loud PRRRRRRR in my case thanks to the cr*ppy drivers). Next time it happens i'll write down what it says. I dont think it is always the same error, though. I'll take the logs as well. The random errors that dont happen frequently are the hardest to catch and to solve, i agree, but are also the most annoying to me because they give a feeling of instability, unreliability of the software. I used vista since RC, I know what that means

Is the description clear and precise now? I dont know what else to say to explain it Of course this by itself is clear. But the (or my) point is that this looks too simple. I use it countless times per day and never see a problem ? I know though, I shouldn't be using it right at the end of a track. Or, do it when a previous one is "pending" so to say. I change volume normally at the beginning of a track to adjust it to my desired level (somebody called me a volume freak, i take that as a compliment since I'm able to spot 0.3db changes). Also, I have "start xxhe during conversion" disabled. Thus, as said before, there sure are ways to let it go wrong, and it sure is time to solve it. But now, what is it what lets it go wrong with you ? I think that it has to do with the ASIO router and the timing (latency). It messes with something in xxhe ONLY with the volume change. I cannot do without until a XO is implemented in xxhe Ok, I'll have a look in those log files, and see whether I have questions from there. One thing is clear : something must be solved. Thanks. But no hurry, just really curious how the error is triggered. I thought you had forgotten bout it.

Hi Peter, Sorry for the tone of my last post. I think there has been a huge misunderstanding from both parties. I TOLD you not to use that mousewheel. Or did I not ? Or did I tell you I fixed that ? I didnt use the mousewheel, i dragged the mouse to move the slider. I have always done like this to change the volume. So, I aksed you what you exactly do, and with this answer I cannot do anything. I thought it was clear The thing about the mousewheel was a suggestion, it wasnt and it's not related to the crash. What are you up to, besides bombarding me with the same from many angles, BUT now leave out this which you did mention in the PM : I suspect it may be related with timing/latency and maybe with the VST host that I use, Console.jp copy and paste mistake, sorry. Btw, your log files indeed show "something"; I'm not sure yet whether I can make anything of it. Right now I'm not even sure I WANT to make something of it. Not without your very precise description of what you do. In here please. This is what i do to change the volume: With the MOUSE pointer i went on the volume slider of the ATTENDED window and moved the mouse to change it from -15 to -10.5. Or to a different step. Higher or lower crashes anyway some times.Is the description clear and precise now? I dont know what else to say to explain it PS : For the next time : The log files are those in the TemporaryData folder (subfolder of your current XX folder). But of course I've got them now too as part of the larger set you posted. I copied everything beause from the logs I sent you with email (another misunderstanding with the error gone, it just didnt happen the next day, didnt mean it was gone) thought they werent enough to show the issue.

Yes, if you have the files (XX and X3) from that error, that might be useful. The previous time (that was that first email I think) of course was not much useful, because then it worked. What does this mean? "because then it worked"? In the logs i sent you the crash error happened two times. I guess it doesnt show. It is RANDOM and happens like 1/10 of the times when i'm changing volume. But stuff it in the topic please (and there please explain carefully what you did), or I'll get crazy. OK, i'm posting here. But I think i explained it several times Once more: With the MOUSE pointer i went on the volume slider of the ATTENDED window and changed i.e. from -15 to -10.5. Pof!Since last week, I haven't had the pleasure to listen to much music since then. Yesterday i had a couple hours and got the error again. What I can say more is that I think it didnt happen with x- versions. and I think is due to timing/latency. If you fix the "change volume several times in one second" bug, MAYBE also my issue will be gone. Not sure if u did Besides, I still have the start menu logo to disappear bug. I dont care much anymore since i have the bar hidden on the music pc, just FYI. XX and X3: you mean the .dat files? Version is y-3 +3a exe. In the attached zip are ALL the files which have date of yesterday at about the time of the crash (except the wallpaper).

Ultimate Audio Playback / Playback Tweaks and Source related subjects / Re: XXHE and Win 7
|

As a newbie to this forum, but not PC audio, I would appreciate some advice regarding a new music server decision, with Win 7 as the OS. Does XXHE perform better with a low powered, under-clocked type of setup, or can a faster, more powerful one be used (ie, regular dual-core/4-8 G RAM)? The latter will simplify my choice and relieve me of the chore of optimizing the PC, ala CMP/Cplay.
Thanks in advance.
I have an E5300 dual core 4G of ram and W7 x64 Home premium. The machine is powerful enough to do real time filtering and crossover. And green to use like 10W. So, both goals can be accomplished I highly recommend this kind of setup.

I must have missed it and now cant find that topic. That's why I made this one Hahaha, almost correct ! You can't find the "topic" because it was posted in the middle of another one, which ... you just did again. Did I? Dammit. I have lots of things on my head and I'm listening to less music that O wanted. And that relaxes me... Note that I use the mouse to change the TINY volume slider and that I hold it until i read the number i want on the left. For the errors themselves, i'll post screens and logs later tonight.

Hi Telstar, I am sorry (maybe ) but I didn't change anything. Why ? I asked you questions about this (other topic) but you never responded. I must have missed it and now cant find that topic. That's why I made this one Will play something later this evening and send u the log and as well the conditions which triggers it.

Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Volume change errors fixed ?

Are the volume change errors fixed? I didnt read about it in the release notes. Since yesterday is getting worse, basically any change of volume incurs to an error and i have to restart xxhe to be able to play.
I have logs that i can copy or send u.
