when i play an audio track it is distorted. i play the same file on winamp and it plays fine. i have tried disabling the EQ and i have tried different setting on the EQ with no luck....anyone else have this prob

Why would anyone think that EQ would resolve a distortion issue?

1. Turn down the volume in VLC. VLC offers gain above 50% volume and some sound cards will overload depending on the level and format of the encoding. Most all other players do not have gain in the volume control.

2. Some sound cards do NOT support "Use float32 output" found in DirectX audio preferences. Try shutting off this option.

thanks for input, and yes the EQ can cause distortion. if u turn the levels up to high it will over load especially since computers use powered speakers and sending an amplified signal to an amplifier will cause distortion.

Ah!!! I was thinking more about CUT and trying to find the band the distortion exists within, when I wrote the post. But this is still a futile effort. The post was not meant to be snide, only mater of fact.

Hi to all,

I want to use REALTIME EQUALIZER of AUDIGY under VIDEOLAN because the quality and response is better.

Can i use API of SOUNDBLASTER AUDIGY under VIDEOLAN??
or there are other possibility?

Thanks.

This would be considered a triple-post!!!

Your chances of getting the response you want are actually reduced for every time you post the same topic, just ask DJ. On second thought you might want to clear out of here before he reads this.

works nice now....i had the volume up to like 80% now that its at 50 every thing is fine. thanks for that bit of info...
