HD Radio Cables READY!

pontiac, no it doesnt "AudioRepeater" does not create echo!!!

you need to understand how audio in windows(OS) works! (or kinda)

put away RR for the moment...

a windows audio system (not talking vista, but vista is close(actually better) then XP)

there are inputs and outputs, lets call them PINS

you got playback pins, and record pins

a playback pin, will let you listen to a audio input LIVE, never being processed by the CPU of the PC

so.. if you got say a LINE IN, and you go to the playback section of the mixer, and unmute its PIN, you will hear what comes in on that line in...

NOW in your case, MUTE ALL the PLAYBACK input PINS... LINE IN, CD, AUX, what ever they are, they vary from sound card to sound card...
this is done in the windows mixer

now go to the record section of the mixer... there are PINS there
select only the LINE IN PIN, when you activate it you wont hear anything...

now use "Audiorepeater", in the IN, select the LINE IN (PIN)
and the out, wav mapper is fine... or direct to speakers
set up u speaker config you want quad... and click start...
at this point, if u got audio playing on you line in... you will hear the audio
on all 4 speakers, NO ECHO!

now RR, is limited on how it manages audio... basicly you do NOT want to use "linein" method
cause they are on the PLAYBACK PIN side of the mixer
for instance.. radioline=0, xmline=0, so fourth...
and u want all your PLAYBACK input PINS Muted
then you need RR to use "audio repeater" (since it take cmd line)
to do your audio
OR winamp LINE IN plug in, with a line out plug in, would do..
as long as winamp line in plug in, uses the RECORDING PINS, and doesnt touch playback PINS

if you need one on one help... id be happy to help you via email or better yet IM

I started a conceptuall audio management system while back... but since like you guys already know, i dont USE RR, i never finished it... but i use it alot since my machine has multiple sounds cards/usb devices, and i can play back audio from any device to the speakers on the onboard device

I am having a issue were it takes almost one minute to turn on the amps, and after a few hibernations i get no sound. Im thinking of ditching AMPCTRL and using the VOLUME_AMP one.

Also, Mitch, I like your USB, line device thingy... looks very small. I did get the Auto A/V switch and it hugeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. So it would be awsome to use yours. Can i be a beta tester?

I only have a few days testing under my belt, and so far, it works fine (ampctrl). Remind me in a week or so or if I have problems I'll let you know. By the time rr is running, I have amps.

Cool, i'll be waiting, although Im going to uninstall it and try the other.

Also I got the A/V switch thing in. Its pretty cool. I tested it on my PS2 and XBOX 360. First I turned on my PS2 and it automatically switched to Port 2. I then turned on the 360 and it switched to that item. I then turned off the 360 and it went back to PS2. I read somewhere that the XM stays on all the time with CF, but I know the HD radio shuts off because I hear it click off. So this is perfect, but like I said the size of the unit is cr@ppy

PS: nevermind, it doesnt work with only audio, you have to have a video feed for auto switch... so looks like Mitches device is the best way to go.

You know, I wonder if the fact that I am using everything onboard now (especially sound), if it will have a problem. MoBo seems really REALLY smart. Probably the best motherboard I have ever owned. And that's saying a lot when the first computer I ever built was a 286 (and could double as a coffee table).

Thanks michjs for the cables. Your customer service is great and your shipping is fast. I didn't know you included the RCA to 3.5mm cable, but it save me a trip to Fry's or having to wait buying it online.

I believe I got it working!! Sounds SO much better!!!!

This works with RR. What I did was keep the Line-in muted and the WAV unmuted in the playback.

In Winamp plugins, under Input, use the LineIn Plugin v1.80. Under Output, use Directsound and chose 'Virtual Cable'. Everything else is left default in those two.

In AudioRepeater, Wave in should be set to Virtual Cable and Waveout should be MS Sound Mapper. In Channel config, select Quadraphonic (Or 4 channel, depending on what version of VC you have)

Now, in RR, make sure the linein stays muted and the WAV stays unmuted. Also, make sure you have the linein option checked in the RR config.

Finally!
