Hi,

Here are the attempts to make reg and bat files to do the above tweaks automatically.
If some of the commands fail you will need to do the tweaks manually as described before.

Turning off drive indexing you still need to do manually.

reg file:

Code:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
;[START] XXHE Vista Ultimate Services

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Dfrg\BootOptimizeFunction]
"Enable"="N"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\PrefetchParameters]
"EnablePrefetcher"=dword:00000000


;Application Information
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Appinfo]
"Start"=dword:00000003

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Reliability]
"TimeStampInterval"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender]
"DisableAntiSpyware"=dword:00000001

bat file:

Code:

REM Tablet PC Input Service
sc config TabletInputService start= disabled

REM Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)
sc config stisvc start= disabled

REM Windows Defender
sc config WinDefend start= demand

REM Print Spooler
sc config Spooler start= disabled

REM Security Center
sc config wscsvc start= demand

REM Superfetch
sc config SysMain start= disabled

REM ReadyBoost
sc config EMDMgmt start= auto

REM Windows Search
sc config Wsearch start= disabled

wevtutil.exe sl Microsoft-Windows-ReadyBoost/Operational /e:false

logman update trace "EventLog-System" -ets -max 33
logman stop -n "DiagLog" -ets

pause

Hope it helps

Yes it is a single core processor, which causes the error The other I tried was dual core, worked fine

I tried it at home on the on the other machine and there was no error. I tried multiple tracks, it still gives an error. It seems it only on my work PC. update: I tried both with checked and unchecked "During conversion"

The latest ASIO4ALL implements this pull (event driven) mode for WaveRT drivers. It looks like it works now. I even tried it with cPlay->ASIO4All(pull mode)->Realtek WaveRT device. And sounds very "interesting". And I am more concerned about the way the cyclic buffer pulling method described in those presentations than about latencies 1ms. We need to take a closer look at those ppts to discuss it further.

Actually it IS Engine #3

Peter, Have you seen these presentations before http://ampalliance.org/blogs/microsoft/archive/2007/08/14/Microsoft-AMP-Summit-Decks.aspx I found this link on this blog http://mark-dot-net.blogspot.com/2008/06/what-up-with-wasapi.html I am curious if you use "Event Driven Audio" approach. This approach seems the right one to use, although a driver support is required for WaveRT Andrey

Hi Peter, I get this error please see attachments

24	Ultimate Audio Playback / Playback Tweaks and Source related subjects / Speakers Playback device default format in Control panel	on: October 20, 2008, 04:25:01 pm
If your playback device you use for XXHE neither USBDAC nor SPDIF out, try to set the default format to 44100 kHz (or whatever is of your audio files). It seems to matter in my setup. I can hear (feel) 44 to 48 conversion when default format is set to 48. Looks like when playback device is Speakers (not USBDAC or SPDIF) the XXHE is not in exclusive mode. Anyway it looks like sample rate conversion is taking place as if in shared mode. Or it may be a fault of the drivers for my sound card. Andrey

25	Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Wish for windows explorer shell integration	on: September 18, 2008, 02:24:40 pm
Hi Peter, Do you have plans for adding a shell integration? For example it would be nice to have: right click on a folder with an album in a windows explorer and choose "play with XXHE". And all tracks are played with XXHEengine3.exe without even starting the interface. Because it takes forever to start XXHE on slow Pcs when all you need is to play an album without caring about album art and what song is now played. Thank you Andrey

26	Ultimate Audio Playback / Your thoughts about the Sound Quality / Digital Volume Control	on: August 18, 2008, 03:40:46 pm
Hi Peter! Is it explained somewhere on this site how exactly your Digital Volume Control (DVC) works? I couldn't find it. I am trying to understand how this can be done bit perfect (or better to say level perfect). The only case I see so far is for example when you play 16 bit file on a 24 bit DAC with DVC set to 48 dB. Then you map -32768/+32767 possible levels of a 16 bit signal exactly to the lowest levels of -8388608/+8388607 possible levels of 24 bit signal. In this case the form of a wave is not altered. But I am afraid in other cases the wave form will be "slightly" different. Can you please point to a thread where you explained it already. Or can you share your algorithm with us. Thanks Andrey

Yes it was a large font. I changed it back to normal font and it is fine again

29	Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Re: Playlist area is moving away to the right :(	on: April 17, 2008, 10:16:46 pm
Mybe it has to do with setting the windos fonts to "Large". Did anyone tried it?

30	Ultimate Audio Playback / XXHighEnd Support / Playlist area is moving away to the right :(	on: April 17, 2008, 09:59:38 pm
Hi Peter, I have a strange bug on Vista Home Premium SP1 Every time I start XX the playlist area is more and more shifted to the right untill it goes beyond the main window boundaries. It is cured only by renaming the folder hence losing all settings to defaults. Andrey
