Hi,

i cannot have "clean sound" with mediaportal. I can use bass player, winamp... I can hear song but with an enormous wind behind...
But when i play the same mp3 without MP no problem, sound is clean..

I cannot understand why.

Is anybody ever have this problem ? And solved it ?

Regards

You should always attach your logs. That way devs can perhaps see what is going on.

With ASUS's soundmax solutions you'll never get decent sound - at least they've learned the lesson as well and start selling boards with Realtek's premium chips...

Please use a directshow player as WMP for reference as well.
Make sure you're using 44,1 KHZ for digital outputs.
Do not turn up the WAVE or any Bass lever above 50%.

I wonder why there's no problem without MediaPortal ? I can ue winamp as plugoin with the same crappy sound, but when i close mp and just play the remaining window of winamp.. sound is clean..

I will try with wmp..

Regards

EDIT: WMP sounds clear without MP....
EDIT2: logs attached...

I still don't understand.. I tried every player that i can.. foobar2000, mplayer, winamp... Everything is ok "out of" mediaportal.
Inside what a crappy sound...

If you use the internal dshow player setting instead of bass, is there any improvement (MP config\music player)

i've tried.. Same problem i still have the big big wind behind song..

So i'm back with new tests...

i unistalled mediaportal, cleaned registry, reboot, reinstall the latest SVN... Still have this crappy sound..
I moved songs to the IDE HDD (thinking it could be an usb problem).. With no progress...

is anybody can held me ? It's very frustrating..

I think it's a realtek chip, as it's shown on the motherboardmap...

I bought a PCI cheap cheap soundcard to bypass this problem (CMI 8738) without success...
I still have the over altered sound when playing music....

I don't understand why.. Every player sounds good but not media portal.. I cannot believe that i'm the only one in this case..
