Help with Kernel Streaming.

[Telstar]

Peter, try me:

Code:

Start KS here
Name wanted  : Primary Sound Device ||   Number of KS devices found : 2
Filter found : \\?\pci#ven_1102&dev_0005&subsys_002c1102&rev_00#4&1542fbd&0&10f0#{6994ad04-93ef-11d0-a3cc-00a0c9223196}\spdifoutwave
Name attempt : SPDIF Out
Filter found : \\?\pci#ven_1102&dev_0005&subsys_002c1102&rev_00#4&1542fbd&0&10f0#{6994ad04-93ef-11d0-a3cc-00a0c9223196}\wavepci
Name attempt : SB X-Fi Audio [EC00]
No ambiguous devices found.
Selected device not suitable for Kernel Streaming

I tried to rename the device in control panel as "SB X-Fi Audio [EC00]", but doesn't change a thing.
Any other ideas?

Have a problem with 0.9y-5-00 playback.  Engine#3 works fine, but with engine#4 i get this message in the log file,
after (start playback)
Last track or ran out of buffer !
settings are 16/44.1 and Q1-0

In Media Monkey it works and the name of the device is: HIFACE Kernel Streaming. That's why in my first post with the screen shot I thought I had to get rid of the second line of the name, the sigmatel stuff. That device is for an sigmatel spdif connection that does not exist on my system, there is not an spdif output jack on my computer. Maybe I should try renaming another device?

Sorry, boleary, for the confusion, I thought you had it working
That Sigmatel stuff is suspicious - my motherboard sound device is a SigmaTel C-Major. I wonder if you have renamed the wrong device to HiFace Kernel Streaming or the system has renamed it? Just a thought

I tried a different device but got the same result.  BTW m2tech will be releasing its wasapi driver soon. So, with either wasapi or kernel streaming something should work out!

Ah yes but that entails changing to Windows 7 (I'm not going near Vista cr*P )

Hi Telstar,

You seem to have the same problem as JohanZ :

Name wanted  : Primary Sound Device ||   Number of KS devices found : 2

... which - as how I think of it now - occurs because in XXHighEnd the devices aren't properly listed (the 3 error messages at startup).
So, as long as that says "Primary Sound Device" it will NEVER work, because it wont match with one of the KS devices (behind the "Name attempt :").

You must give up on this, and wait until I solved this (which is about your Windows version using different Registry keys for this than e.g. mine (W7 32 bit Ultimate).


PS: I asked about this on one of the MS forums 6 days ago and just got NO answer. But we wil learn (it). Sorry about this.

Hi there tillen,

I know what this means, but it shouldn't happen. Now it is interesting to know what's in your log file. Ok, you posted that, but it is the one from an Engine#3 trial. So, can you please cause that error again, and post the X3PB log file of that ?

Btw, I can already promise I won't have the immediate solution, but all the data I can get about this stuff is important to get it all working.
The problem is, it seems very much worth while.

Thank you,
Peter

Fine for me
I'm going to try y-5 on the music pc today and hope all works there (still waiting for the damn new psu!)

For me the popup windows on start (which also Roy has) are more annoying that not being able to use engine4

Peter,

Question just now i had to rename again. It did not remember what i have put in yesterday.... Any idears?

Grtz

That's not the way to win prizes Gerard !
hahaha, but I guess it is in the beginning of this topic ?

E-DSP WAVE [ccoo]

No prices for me....   I do not understand what you where saying but i have tried it a few time's but everytime i shut down the pc i have to rename again. I also tried the other option *E-MU E-DSP Audio Processor (WDM)*
But that does not result in playback.

 

[tillen]

Sorry for that.
To many tests at the same time  
Here is the right file.

Telstar,

Did you find time to listen to 3#Engine, I think there is improvement there !
Will get #4Engine eventually, or not, is it even better for sure, time will learn.
I think its about the ultimate combination between DAC and PC.
If kernel works best there, thats good, but Engine3 is not dead!
For those who get it to work its great, don't be dissapointed when not, use Engine3 instead.
 

And we got some free pop-ups screens too, hit the ok button twice and sound will be nice !, hehe

WHAT !!? Well, that would be a nice (W7) bug then !

But ok. I say it again : my solution so far is the most awkward, and the next version won't require that.

Peter,

I have too admit that i did not have admin rights.  After somebody who said his rights where disappeared
i checked overhere and here too they where gone. I don't now for how long and how that could affect some of the troubles i had to deal with.

I like to say that the renaming i did yesterday they where ok this morning. And where i said the music stops playing after 2 tracks yesterday i did not have that. Not even with the same cd. I will keep testing but i had to tell you this. I really don't now if it is related. 


Ps I have put this on my desktop so i will never forget to check so now and than. Maybe handy for others. 

[PeterSt]

Aha, so that is a new one ... But do you mean your (non) admin rights also reflect the saving of the device name ?

Ok, after I upgraded to W7 I had similar (had to set that all again -> could be normal, no problem by itself). But in W7 there is a kind of "bug" when compared to Vista, and that is that the OS doesn't tell you to reboot after the UAC settings have been changed (by you). And then ... then it works "half" and I couldn't make sense out of anything. After a few hours of trying (and indeed getting all sorts of anomalies and inconsistent behavior) I rebooted ... and then all was fine. Btw, I added that immediately in the "Vista prepare ..." topic at the time.

What this all has to do with stopping at the end of a track I don't know BUT if those admin rights prevent you from writing to files (which I can imagine for some types of writing) then this becomes "logic". But, it would be a long shot I guess.
