Tips - Signal Enhancements OFF (Win 8.1)

Play a 48 000 Hz file for 5 sec. and then click on any 44 100 Hz file.

You will hear the 44 100 Hz file about 2 db louder.

Restart the 44 100 Hz file to return to normal volume.

I tried it with various file types, both decoders, different options, can't seem to reproduce it. Can you provide some example files on which this may happen?

Re: 48 000 Hz Volume Bug

Sure I can give you the 48 000 Hz MP3 on Skype.

The extension mp3 is not allowed here on the forum.

The problem exist for the bass.dll & windows decoder.

You can also Record the ''what you hear'' from a sine at -6 db (44.1 kHz) compare to a sine at -6 db (48 kHz).

Record the transition and look at the wave display in Sound Forge to see volume difference.

Re: 48 000 Hz Volume Bug

Attention !!! Windows 8.1 Update will reset your sound card settings.
I have found the solution to my volume problem.

My solution was to untick the option in the Speakers properties > Advanced Tab > Signal Enhancements (Allows extra signal processing by the audio device) > Enable audio enhancements.

With this UNTICKED, the sound quality is perfect !

Hope this helps someone :D

That explains why I couldn't reproduce it... I figure this will be less of an issue once Resonic supports ASIO and/or WASAPI.
