Members IGWright Posted October 14, 2005 Members Share Posted October 14, 2005 I'm using Winamp with my audio partition to play some MP3s. I'm loading it at startup with Cubase and a few other apps. It will load for a moment and then disappear. Does anyone know why? Also, I'm tryna route Winamp through my Hammerfall 96/52 for playback without any luck. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks, Ian;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wishfulsinful909 Posted October 14, 2005 Members Share Posted October 14, 2005 You've got to set winamp to start in your WINDOWS partition, that's the only thing I can think of! It's probably looking for it's system files/dll's on your audio partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IGWright Posted October 16, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 16, 2005 I upgraded to 5.1. This Got the program to stabilize, and I got the audio to route through my Hammerfall by choosing the Windows default for the sound card, but now I'm getting clicking during playback.

Members the_tonto Posted October 17, 2005 Members Share Posted October 17, 2005 by choosing for the soundcard do you mean you went to the winamp preferences under the output setting and changed the dropdown menu to windows default (which should actually say primary sound driver or something like that) or do you mean that you changed the soundcard option on the main windows sound properties menu ("Sound and Multimedia Properties" i think it should say under the options from the speaker icon in the system tray). I have winamp routed to my soundcard for my interface directly from winamp and things are fine. perhaps if you had default selected in winamp, and then winamp has to find what your default windows card is (where you would have the hammerfall selected in this scenario for it to be playing at all) then maybe that extra processing required would be the source of the clicking from the latency. Just a thought. though i'd think this scenario would be unlikely. If you do have the hammerfall selected as your output from winamp, perhaps you need to increase the buffer setting for the hammerfall (if such a setting/soft-mixer exist exists, i don't know much about the hammerfall besides that RME supposedly makes decent products). Again, just some thoughts as to what i'd start checking, i'm in no way an expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members IGWright Posted October 17, 2005 Author Members Share Posted October 17, 2005 Winamp: I tried both Windows Default and the Hammerfall Default Channels directly. Both work. Both crackle. In Windows I have channels 9 and 10 on the Hammerfall as my Defaults. I have the Hammerfall set to the largest buffer settings available. At this point, I'm starting to look at the Cubase/Winamp combo as the problem (I have both running at the same time). The one are that I've touched upon, but haven't explored fully is the buffer settings in Winamp. Thanks for jumping in, Ian:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
