EzAudDac Alpha release: Cheap DACing!

[drlava]

Since there is something weird going on with the codecs in MS, that seem to make it impossible to play 6 channel wave on some Windows machines, would it be possible to add the ability to play waves through your driver?

James.

Yes, there could be an app like spaghetti to play wav files.. but doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of exporting as wav in the first place?

No. Not at all!

It just gets some people over the recent MS codec mess (like me and you!).

It doesn't have to do anything to the wave. Just play it back at 48KHz.

Single core, 1.6Ghz. I was thinking this would be more of a sound card issue though. When the laser output stops, I have to close LFI player and reopen it.

Update to 1.03 :
-smoothness and update rate improvements
-new ini file setting LowLatencyBuffering
-plus other refinements..
upgrade reccommended!

[Things]

Yay smoothness! Gotta try this one out!

Smoothness would also be related to the speed of your processor/amount of RAM etc though, wouldnt it?

EDIT: Just read the config file, it says if you have a hyperthreading CPU, which my EEEpc does. I'll give it a shot.

EDITEDIT: It seems to be jumpier with yes, so i just left it at no for Spaghetti.

[drlava]

It depends on the CPU speed and the way the programs send data to the buffer. If they receive a buffer not ready signal, do they try again or drop the frame, etc. Usually if they try again till it's sent then yes is OK. I hadn't tried with Spaghetti yet so I'll put your result in the INI notes. Oh, your EEE PC running an atom.. maybe I'll wait for more feedback

Version 1.05 released! Increased update thread priority solved an occasional drop frame issue on slower computers.

Also, PL has shown again that it actually IS open to innovation. Laserfreak.net on the other hand - not so much. They locked the thread in the DIY section about this down after some users complained that it was 'too cheap'!

Thank you PL, Spec!

the lasefreak site is down again.

believe it or not, but most of the french/belgian laserfreak members are really open to such things

we are several to cherish "free" innovation when it comes to serious things (tesla, high voltage, special devices...)

I have to say I'd post anything interesting here in that matter

I'm actually looking to obtain a decent multi-channel usb soundcard to achieve a nice DAC
