Title: About using xxhighend 0.9y-5 DAC settings on XP SP3 Post by: cb92110 on January 13, 2010, 10:26:43 am Hi,
I just installed xxhighend 0.9y-5 on my Dell Latitude D630 on XP Professional version 2002 with SP3. I had problems to select the right DAC settings for the embedded Sigmatel Audio Sound Card. Regarding ASIO4ALL, I noticed that it is a 2x48kHz, 24 bit card; so I put it in the DAC settings. When I tried to play a standard wav file (16 bit, 44kHz ripped from an original CD with EAC), I had the following message : Device allocated, but can't play; check DAC settings, applied sample Rate. Any idea will be welcome. Best regards, Christophe Title: Re: About using xxhighend 0.9y-5 DAC settings on XP SP3 Post by: PeterSt on January 13, 2010, 10:32:45 am Hi Christophe,
I guess this is a case of bad luck ! I have such an idiot laptop (though a Toshiba myself, and nothing can be done about it. I mean, 48Khz is not the 44.1 you need for normal albums, and since XXHighEnd doesn't resample, here it stops (it upsamples, but that is "even" only, like from 44.1 to 88.2 or 176.4). You will be able to play ripped sound tracks from DVDs though. :swoon: Sorry, no solution !

Could you please be more clear. You say that for this Dell laptop SigmaTel Audio sound card, 0.9y-5 is not able to play a standard wav file from CD ? What about the Trends UB-10 USB Transport ?

But careful now, because we should add "bit perfect" to that. Thus, if you use a player that allows resampling, it will be no problem at all ! But XX does not allow that ...
I don't know about the Trends (I guess you can look it up more easy than I can), but what I do know is that only laptops are so stupid (and old (e.g. Creative) sound cards). Nice world, eh ? prrrrt Title: Re: About using xxhighend 0.9y-5 DAC settings on XP SP3 Post by: cb92110 on January 13, 2010, 01:50:14 pm Peter,
Well, in this case, do you think that it would work after upgrading XP to windows 7 ? Best regards, Christophe Title: Re: About using xxhighend 0.9y-5 DAC settings on XP SP3 Post by: PeterSt on January 13, 2010, 11:08:49 pm Hi Christophe - No difference !
Notice that if you'd want such a thing, you'll aways (!!) be resampling. Baaaad ! Peter |
