Music volume is too low only with Winamp.

[siegfried.m]

Yesterday I realized that music volume was too low with Winamp. So I uninstall it (I had 5.61) and install 5.62, but nothing. Volume is still too low.
With Windows Media Player, the volume is really much louder.
I check also the windows volume bar and that of sound card (on board Realtek), but are both at maximum.
I realize this problem only yesterday. Before, the volume don't seem to be so low. But I haven't installed anything.
My OS is Vista HPx64.

Is the equalizer turned off? (it should be)
Is Replay Gain activated? If yes, what values are the sliders set to?

no and no

Twice "no" would mean, that the equalizer is on.
Did you try to turn it off?

nullsoft DirectSound Output v2.6(d) [out_ds.dll]

try using the waveout plug-in instead (could be something in the DirectSound audio chain which isn't liked with your setup) and see if that makes any difference (and if it does if you like it or not).

ok, now work fine, thanks. It's strange, because I never change nothing but until 3-4 days ago, all works fine.

windows 7?

win7 has a "feature" i've disabled where it will lower app volumes when using chat or other stuff. the problm for me was it didn't return the app volume to normal after using chat.
