ok.. assuming your using Winamp
and you installed the line-in plugin... [ http://www.winamp.com/plugin/linein-plugin-v1-80/84040 ]
and configured it

then

radioline=0
uselineinplugin=true

would be correct

not using the line in plugin

radioline=1
uselineinplugin=false

would be correct

my guess is you didint install line in plugin...and configure it (just by judging the llineinpar)

NOW i should mention.... in 7/1 RR and onward

•if you use the line in plugin for radio, please change to the new settings
RadioUseLineInPlugin & RadioLineInPar


just keep it simple 1st time

RadioLine=1
RadioUseLineInPlugin=false

Sorry Mitch, let me be more specific. I understood previous posts to indicate "Listen to this device" should not be selected in the Line In properties for the sound device. The only way I am able to hear the HDRadio is by having this option selected. It doesn't matter if RadioLine is set correctly or not. It doesn't matter if I'm using the line in plug in or not. Simply if it is not selected, I don't hear the HDRadio. No problems with Internet radio or Winamp audio. It makes sense to me that it should be enabled and disabled from within the software and that's how I understood the comment not to use this setting (it's for debug/testing use.)

So far I haven't run into any issues with having it set. I'm just trying to make sure I have things setup correctly to avoid future issues. I'm new to RR and DFX. I'm working on one item at a time. The radio and iGuidance will be the primary things I use. I got iG working and want t make sure I have the HDRadio working correctly before moving on to more features.

Thanks for your patience with noobs like me. It takes a while to digest all the information that currently resides in the forums. Keep up the good work. Thanks!

if you connected audio to line in blue, which is #1

all you need in rr.ini is


RadioLine=1
RadioUseLineInPlugin=False

you really need to understand how audio works in windows

and please test with carwings...keep it simple!!!

Where is debug.txt?
And how do you guys make all these changes with the PC in the car? I have to keep running inside to this PC, then run back outside and try to remember what i need to change, come back in, double check, go back out etc..

I'm going to remove RR and install the new version and the linein plugin and see how it goes...

Edit: Well that went better
Seems to be working properly now.. although a tad quiet. (have turned up the linein level to 90, and reset the volume in the standalone app for the venice 7 module) but it just seems low..
Will see how it is with the new PCI soundcard when i get that in..

I thought I understood how audio works in Windows... Let me start from ground zero and work forward.

The system is a MSI Fuzzy GM965 motherboard with an integrated Realtek ALC888 7.1 channel audio device. I've got a clean instal of Windows 7 Home Premium, all the latest Windows updates and drivers. I have the front speakers (green), rear speakers (black), and the HDRadio line in (blue) connected and identified in the Realtek driver. The HDRadio is connected to COM1 (9pin serial connection). Using HDRadio PCR.exe I can controll the HDRadio. I am only able to hear the radio if I launch Control Panel / Sound and on the Recording tab under the properties of Line In I must select "Listen to this device" on the Listen tab. Without this being checked, I do not hear the radio audio.

From here I can do an install of RR (7/11). Update rr.ini Radio section:

[Radio]
radio=HDRadio
allowallfreqs=false
radioline=1
uselineinplugin=false
lineinpar=line://title=Radio,srate=44100,bps=16,nch=2
uselineinsingleinstance=false
userbds=false
RadioPort=1
HDRadioType=Auto

Running RR, I am only able to hear the Radio audio when "Listen to this device" is slected in the linein properties of the sound settings. Without it selcted, no radio audio. All other audio works fine regardless of this selection. (I get a beep when a button is pressed and I can hear MP3's regardless of the "Listen to this device" setting.)

With previous posts indicating "Listen to this device" should not be selected, how does the radio audio work? It makes senes (to me) that since the line 1 is being identified as the radio input that RR should be activating this line in when the radio is selected and deactivating it when the radio is not being played. Do I understand this correctly?

If that is how it should be working, then it appears that either RR is not selecting the line properly or the driver is not working correctly when RR does activte the line in. If this is workinf for others, I would tend to belive it is something related to my hardware or software setup.

I can move the line in from the blue and connect to the pink. Update radioline=2 and get the same rsults.

(rr.ini & debug.txt ttached)

FORGET RR for a little bit!!

use HDPCR... get something tuned

go to audio->playblack devices->Levels->Rear Blue, and UNMUTE it and adjust its level, my guess you got it at 0

Crap... I hate staring at the obvious and not seeing it. The line was muted. I was fixated on the recording device properties and wasn’t looking at playback devices. Thanks Mitch!

ok, well its muted, now back to RR, RR will unmute it when radio is selected, BUT you have to set the LEVEL
