Silabs USB FM tuner problem.

**rcubed3r** · 10-30-2007, 05:59 PM

My silabs works, but I do not have any audio out of any speakers except the front. My rears and sub do not play at all. Winamp and everything else plays on all speakers.
Even if I am not in RR, I only get sound from the front when I use radiator.
Any ideas?
Thanx,
Ron

Install and use the Line-in plugin option in RR Config -- it MAY help.. but this just depends on your speaker setup.

OK, I'll try that tomorrow.
What would I enter in the box after 'use line-in plugin:'
Thanx,

leaving it empty should work as long as the config doesn't save lineinpar= to RR.INI.. anyway, you can try the default or play with the settings:

line://title=Radio,srate=44100,bps=16,nch=2

Using the line-in plugin works to a point....
I still only get front speakers if I leave the line after the checkbox blank.
If I fill it in with the default settings (as above), I get sound form all speakers (!), BUT there is an echo, BAD!
I can't tell if the rear speakers are lagging, or the echo is just in the stream itself....
Any ideas?
Thanx!

To prevent the echo, simply mute the audio line in windows AND make sure you don't set RR to mute/unmute that audio line when stopping/starting the radio.

That doesn't help, in fact it does not make any difference. I noticed that the 'echo' gets progressively worse as the radio plays. It is like I have two feeds, and one is playing a hair slower than the other one. After about 20 seconds it is headache inducing!!
