"Who knows, possibly you have deleted or disabled parts of your operating system, in order to make Foobar work, that it is interfering with the installation of XXHighEnd. I really don't know, but if you had a problem you might have given Peter a shot to straighten it out before giving up."

I'm running WinXP

I'm wondering if this isn't my problem with getting XXHighend to run. If I've deleted/disabled something that I thought might not needed to run Foobar well. I had ok results in sound quality when I got rid of some processes and I ran msconfig and shut down as much as I dared which also helped Foobar sound better in some instances. I would think all players would benefit from this care... wonder what XXHighend would need that I shut down? I have a usb dac; so in Sounds and Audio Devices Properties to get around Kmixer I:

"Bypassing Kmixer by Lynn

"I think I have the answer for this issue.
1. Open the Windows Control Panel
2. Open Sounds And Audio Devices
3. Select the Hardware Tab
4. Select your sound card in the list
5. Click Properties Button
6. Select Properties Tab on the Sound Card Properties Panel
7. Click on the Mixer + sign
8. Select your sound card on the list
9. Click Properties button
10. Click option box 'Do Not Use Mixer Features On This Device'
11. Click Apply, and then OK.
12. Re-boot
13. Windows Mixer will no longer use the device.
There may be simpler series of steps to get a device out of Window's mixer, but I have tested the above and it works. The volume control for Windows will be disable (and assuming you have only 1 sound card, Windows will report 'no audio device). Foobar through ASIO will work fine and control the volume."

I wonder if this could be a problem for the player... guess i'll go undo it. and see hehe

btw I always like to mention bypassing Kmixer... this was a big big biggest improvement I heard when getting into computer audio. Presto does it a safer way by choosing another audio card.
