here be the settings

btw, interested in why its so? there is a simple article explaining dither
wow great… i love this article :d😄
The path at the extreme bottom is what was added for dvd-audio playback. It completely bypasses the EMU10K2 dsp and uses an intermediate chip called P16V(if u look up creative driver files, u’ll find a file by that name). This is some sort of PCI bus mastering chip which creative modified and is now selling as the live 24bit/audigy se. The good thing is that this is a pretty nice hack to get non resampled audio out of the card straight to the DAC. The resampler in the EMU chip is total crap :P.
^^ what resampling? :S EMU supports 44.1khz natively.
^^Duh… the EMU10k2 dsp only supports 16bit/48kHz 
if it did , i’d never have to write this guide 
am having a diff problem with 96000hz. when i go forward or jump to any location of the track the audio volume increases or decreases. lets say the default volume is 1. i go forward in the track by clicking ahead somewhere the volume becomes 1.7 & then i click forward or back again on the track anywhere the volume becomes 1 again. it keeps switching between these 2 volumes when i click to jump ahead.
any idea? it works fine on 48hz
well, you talking about the chip, and I’m talking about the card 
well i was talking about it too 
but yup… misunderstood you this time
btw, stormblast, check your settings
here are mine … no issues on seeking here

have the same settings here.
only diff is where the card name is written mine is [AC00] & yours shows as [DC80], dont know what this is for.
it is seeking properly but volume changes when i seek.
no idea dude 
Anyone else with an Audigy2zs having the same problem?
Stormy try reducing your buffer length.
Have it about 500 - 1000ms
good guide…
But the link to download SSRC isnt working
Hydrogenaudio Forums > Wanted v0.9 plugin ports This page has all the plugins you will ever need for Foobar 
Anyway, right now, I have enabled SSRC, convert mono to stereo.

anything else ??
And I didnt get the part abt ASIO. These are my settings right now…

I was also browsing sharky extremes forums and there, they recommended the crossfeed DSP when you use headphones… I didnt really feel any difference with crossfeed enabled using my regular speakers.
and what abt the equaliser…is that really necessary ??
oh, and another thing… on sharky extreme forums, they are recommending that you dont set resampling to anything more than 48khz as the hardware is capable of only that much.
I set it to 48khz from 96 and there is absolutely no difference.

Ha ha ha! how often does a noob’s first post get stickied, eh?
about the resampler KEEP IT AT 48000Hz!!!
The only reason to put it there is to bypass your onboard resampler. Why would you go any higher? If you pour a glass of water into a bucket, you still only have a glass of water…it’s just in a bigger container.
Dang, that analogy sucks…my point is that increasing the sample rate isn’t going to increase your quality…you’re starting from a 441000Hz source, doubleing that to 882000Hz will only have an intermediate sample between samples that aren’t actually doing anything, eating up processor power for absolutely no benefit…
c’mon kids, THINK!

And another thing… I downloaded foobar 0.9 for the first time today. For the past 1 yr, I was using the old versions… in those version, whichever track I selected would play next after the current track.
But now, it plays in the proper order. How do I change that ??
And another thing…how do I change the looks of foobar ?? Chaos’s setup looks different… where do I download the skins or whatever ??
Exactly, the newer versions are buggy and itunes 7 is utter cr@p.
i used itunes 6.0.5, foobar 0.8.3, ASIO 0517, multi plugin 2.3.2 (this version is a mammoth 4.4mb). The sound is just sweet i must say and the skinnable itunes UI is a benefit.
Am I supposed to understand anything from that ?? :lol:
Chaos, reply to Nikhil’s argument ??
. you thanked greenhorn for SSRC alright but this one? .. now even setting 44.1 to 96 has no difference in sound in my case at all!
But the link to download SSRC isnt working
yup… apparently, it has gone into the next version
btw, the dev’s home page is here .. check there for updates

yup.. the list is updated regularly… the only prob is see with foobar. the player itself is fine , but the community is a bit disorganized. having jumped to foobar from Winamp via QCD, both of which had structured communities, the foobar community looks like a big free-for all :S
they are recommending that you dont set resampling to anything more than 48khz as the hardware is capable of only that much.
in case you’re running it on an old soundcard or an AC 97 onboard, in which case , it would be pointless to upsample beyond 48
BUT, the audigy 2 and above ARE capable of 96 khz, and actually sound the best at that rate. You might have to completely bypass the DSP engine to get the high quality playback
increasing the sample rate isn’t going to increase your quality…you’re starting from a 441000Hz source, doubleing that to 882000Hz will only have an intermediate sample between samples that aren’t actually doing anything, eating up processor power for absolutely no benefit.
if you resample from 44 to 88, there isnt much difference, but if you are resampling from 44 to 48, it actually reduces the fidelity because you cant fit a square peg in a round hole , and resampling is all about trying to spread 44 samples over 48 slots, and the distribution will almost always be imperfect.
but at 96 K, almost double that , you stand a chance of reducing the damage, as it were to teh signal
btw, upsamling DOES help.. see this for a visual analogy.. the bottom pic is an upsampled version of the middle one

I’m also a foobar noob, just installed it a few weeks back to try this out , so i’ve got no idea how to troubleshoot it .. mine install works,and i’m thankful for it 
but from the looks in your screenies, it seems you’re running the stock UI… try out coulumns_ui from here
I am not a newbie to Foobar… I have been using it for more than a year…but didnt experiment much… The first time I installed it, Chaos told me what settings to use… Have been using that ever since
nice guide..keep it up
