Delay problem with Winamp

Hi all,

I have a annoying problem with winamp using the
chronotron plugin.
When changing pitch it doesn't have effect immediately,
it's with a delay of about 5 seconds.
Why is it ?
I have pentium IV 2,5 Ghz.

Probably because you've set a 5 second buffer setting in the Output plugin.

Hi,
It has nothing to do with that because :
in output plugin

Buffer length is set to 2000 ms
prebuffering 500ms
buffer ahead on track : 0ms

Even if I change buffer length and prebuffering to 0 ms
and press apply it just stays the same;

btw the five seconds I talked about are even more than 5
seconds.

No idea then.
Contact the Chronotron plugin author for support.
Be sure to include all relevant system specs in your report (incl. mobo, soundcard, windows os, directx, etc)

I have no idea how to contact that author
But I don't believe it's the plugin.
I have the same issue if I change an equalizer preset
in winamp or simply change something on the EQ.
I had it with winamp 3.0 also.

Maybe I can give you my specs

INTEL pentium 4 cpu 2,53 Ghz
Nvidia 4 geforce TI4200 128Mb DDR TV-Out
Soundmax integrated digital Audio
(I guess it's a standard soundcard)
Motherboard INTEL D845EPT2 FSB 533Mhz
DDR SDRAM 256Mb (266Mhz)
Windows XP proffessional SP2
DirectX 9.0b

Greetz and thanks for trying to help me out

problem seems to be solved
I used my brain and went to that soundmax configuration
in configuration panel.
There was a choice between 4MB General Midi and
1,2MB XGLite it was set on the 4Mb Midi and when I switched
it on good luck to the 1,2 Mb XGlite the delay problem was
solved.

I don't know what the difference between those 2 standard
synthesizer sets are and why it has effect on winamp.
But anyway it worked.

maybe you know more about it.
