    Playing music using BASS player, gives sound in only front speakers, no rear, center & sub , sounds bad. - This issue is not new. (using dshow to play works great, but then there is no visualization)

    I also hope TV is now always using all 6 audio channels all the time, also when not paused.

    So the upmixing does not work?
    Did you enable the CD-Speed plugin, too?

    Right, no upmixing.
    I did not enable CD-Speed (and played mp3-files , not CD's) - if fact , in this clean installation, I cannot even find a plugin with such name.

    I've been talking to bass author abut this a while ago, and he even come up with an test-file that worked perfectly:

    Hi Andre,

    good to hear.
    Will take a while, since i can't change code, because we plan a new release in the next days and we have code freeze now.
    Don't know how much time i'll have between the holidays, since my family will need me. :)

    but it'll be one of the next things i'll do.
    Promised.

    regards,

    Helmut

    wonderful !
    :)
    It is hard to hear difference between method 1 and 2, but method 2 sounds maybe better, front/rear speakers seems more "equal" then, or maybe that's only my ears.
    all speakers are playing in both cases, as opposite to what MP's BASS implementation do (only front left+right are playing)

    keep up the good work, I hope your code will end up in SVN soon.
    Regards
    André

    Hi,

    please unzip the attached file to a folder of your choice and run BassSample.exe.

    Select a MP3 file and then pree Method1.
    select stop and then press Method2.

    Note: that for Method 1, you won't hear the center speaker, but you should hear the rear ones.
    Method 2 should play on all 6 channels.

    let me know, how it works.

    best regards,
    Helmut

    ok, this really embarrassing, I was so used to the 0.2.2.0 setup that I did not discover the new checkbox in 0.2.3.0 - I am also still using 0.2.2 in the living room. I hope there be a day when upgrading is smooth and total reconfiguration not necessary.

    then this is not a bug, thank you for the work you're doing.
