waveOut 2.0.2a problem killing me!

Archimedeez · 28th June 2003, 18:29

I just uninstalled WinAmp 3 to replace it with WinAmp 2.91, only to find it's a little different than I remember.

I formatted and replaced Win98SE with WindowsXP about two weeks ago, and all the hardware is the same, except this time in WinAmp 2x, the volume slider in WinAmp is linked to the Wave Volume Control for Windows.

I searched the forums and found lots of topics on this, but none of the things they mentioned worked. What I am aiming for is to have WinAmp be able to change volume within the program, and affect only the volume of the MP3's playing, not all my Windows wave sounds.

I tried the Enable setting in the waveOut configuration, tried switching the output device, they all keep linking the two volumes together.

I did however get it so that when I leave WinAmp, it returns the Windows Wave Volume back to what it was before I started WinAmp, but if there is a way to have them be completely unrelated, like it was before I installed WindowsXP, that would be uber.

I am using WinAmp 2.91, with waveOut 2.0.2a as my only Output plugin.

My goal is to have Windows Wave Volume set to 50% and WinAmp volume to 25% as defaults, but be able to change the WinAmp one at any time without affecting the rest of Windows sounds.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Arch

Use DirectSound Output with WinXP, not WaveOut.

How/Where do I get that? Is it a plugin I am supposed to have for WinAmp?

Preferences > Output > Select "DirectSound output ..."

If you don't have it reinstall Winamp.

Went out on Google and found some Japanese page with 2.2.3 version of the plugin, got it in the WinAmp dir, now using it.

Appears to work, /rude waveOut

Thanks guys =)
