Suddenly, old recordings that I remember as being on the harsh side of things are now sounding warmer than I remember. I have narrowed it down to 3 things. 1.It could be that my amp and new crossover jumpers have burned in a bit, but I have been running them a few weeks which is a bit longer than I have experienced with this gear before. 2. ASIO in winamp. I recently reinstalled winamp with the cue player plugin. Finally got it working and Otochan's ASIO 67 too. It is stable and I had absolutely no luck with the cue player on this audio only rig, but I figured it out: 3. SP2. To get the cue player to work I HAD to install XP SP-2. It simply wouldn't work with XP SP-1. Any thoughts on what is the most likely reason? |

It's ASIO. I noticed the same thing when I compared it to DS. |

Yes, I use WinAmp. Only Otochan plugins I know of are for WinAmp and Foobar. |
What about EXE ASIO - still no luck? N/T, posted on December 11, 2008 at 06:17:32 | |

Most likely, the answer is "NO" to both. Here's what really changes sound:, posted on December 11, 2008 at 12:46:47 | |

Hey Squonk, I put DS back in, and well you are right. |
Most likely, your CPU doesn't support SSE2 - run CPU-Z to find out. N/T, posted on December 12, 2008 at 12:03:44 | |

You forgot to switch the soundcard mode. It's still got EAX effects on. |
