redocneXk released - Realtime 5.1 ac3 Encoder

I just ran CPUZ - it says my (PIV 630 'Prescott') supports MMX/SSE/SSE2/SSE3/EM64T

 

I did figure out how to capture the dump from the crash.

Maybe that will help.

 

DOH - I forgot to set correct device.... hold on Ill test more

 

Ok - ALL exes work - bit only with original dll that came with V1.0.1

Sorry if I made you panic.... (I kept running exe rather than bat file I made...)

again - all I can test is if it crashes or not....

 

Tril, which CPU/Architecture did you choose to optimize for?

 

I don't remember exactly. For the cpu, it's generic.

I think that MMX was disabled in 1.00 because I was receiving a compilation error when it was activated. I later found out how to enable it without getting an error so it was enabled in 1.01. I'm not sure of this. Maybe this was all before 1.00 when I was testing it myself.
I can recompile 1.01 without MMX and ask Maddogg6 to test it but I doubt that the problem is there.

 

No, I mean the .dll's. Maddogg6 got it working, so that is not an issue any more. I just thought it would be good to know if I happen to run across any information about it (to help and determine if it may be related, etc). Did you use i686 or something else? and BTW: Did you change any of the compiler options (other than specific SSE optimizations) with the new .dll's (as opposed to the .dll with version 1.0.1)?

 

I will gladly test anything you'd like...

I can post a crash dump if you'd like...

Edit: Yes - All V1.0.1 EXE's work fine with original dll only. All others crash.

 

BTW: You might want to take a look at the CPUID sample which shows how to detect processor support for MMX, SSE, SSE2, and 3DNow. Looks pretty simple, and you could encorporate such code in your program (if you wanted to), so that instead of crashing, it says something like "Sorry this version requires SSE2 processor support" and exits if the feature is not detected, etc. If you search the internet you could probably find the info necessary to add detection of other CPU features as well. Just a thought.

 

Maddogg6 got it working. He simply forgot to use the -d switch to select the kX driver.

Detecting the cpu type is not necessary. The three exe (normal, SSE, SSE2) of 1.01 give the same performance so in the next version (if there is one), only the normal exe will be in it. The optimized dlls (SSE, SSE2, SSE3) don't work.

 

Hi everyone! This app seems to be working great; the receiver is showing the dolby logo, and I can hear from the front left, right, and center, but the rear left and right also come from the front.

Any ideas?

No errors; running a Creative Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA card

 

Davers, I suppose you connected Surrounder to asio on epilog. Take a look at the settings of Surrounder. Speaker Mode should be on 5.1 (not 2.1 with Surround on). I think that's your problem.

 

Surrounder?

 

Look at the picture. Surrounder is connected to epilog.
DSP

 

ah I see; I didnt have the Kx audio drivers installed at all; but now I have downloaded both v3537 and v3538i, and neither will install the driver correctly, so I can't access the DSP... if you're interested, in 3538i it installs fine until it actually tries to install the driver and completely freezes the computer requiring a hard reset... any ideas? Or do I even need to install it?

 

You need to install the kX drivers because you need to modify the DSP to route the 6 channels to asio. The DSP is the digital signal processor on the soundcard.

It could maybe work without the kX drivers if the other drivers route all the 6 channels to 6 asio inputs. You can't modify the DSP ditrectly with drivers other than kX. You have to use the DSP they give you. I suppose that when you change options in the other drivers, it changes the DSP in some way only known precisely by the people who made the card. It might or might not be possible to use it with other drivers.

What's your sound card model?

 

Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Notebook (PCMCIA)

driver installation crashes when installing kxasio.dll

 

This card is not supported by the drivers and it will not be in 3538 final. It may never be supported. See here : kX Project Status

 

Noooooo T_T

 

This should work with the Sound Blaster Live 5.1 version which has the SPdif output right?
