XMD RR Hibernation & XMRESET - Page 2

I can not find the thread now but there was a user having the playing preview channel on resume problem and he solved it by making his xmcache read only and put his favorite channel on the top of the list instead of the preview channel. I tried it and it worked for me as well.

Editing xmcache didn't help. But from experimenting a bit, it looks like it may have to do with my soundcard not handling hibernate well. I have a USB Extigy, and I've noticed that upon resume, the bass redirection was missing. I have to uncheck-recheck the control on the Extigy dialog with an auto-it script to re-enable it after hibernate. I think it's maybe the same thing with the linein mute checkbox. When I first resume and RR is on the main menu, I hear channel 1 playing even though the mute box is checked and I've never even gone into the xm skin. I guess I could play around with my script to handle the muting, but I need to know a couple of things:

1. Is the XMMUTE command merely a toggle, or are there discrete mute/unmute commands?

2. Are there any other controls for the xmdirect unit (eg. poweron, enable) that are available or being used in RR?

3. Exactly when and where does RR issue mute/unmute commands to the unit? I assume these are enabled when xmline>0.

4. What exactly is happening in the example "ONSUSPEND","BYIND;XMMUTE;<<XMMUTE",XM
It looks to me like if xmmute is zero do nothing but if it's one then toggle it (but what is ,XM doing outside the quote marks?).

1.XMMUTE is a toggle command, but you can make a XMMUTEON and XMMUTEOFF command like this:
"XMMUTEON","BYIND;XMMUTE;XMMUTE"
"XMMUTEOFF","BYIND;XMMUTE;<<XMMUTE"

2.When RR starts or resumes, it resets and sends a "warm-up" command to the XM tuner (so when you start it, it's ready and pre-populated with station info etc). Those are completely automatic/built-in/hard coded procedures.

3.RR Unmutes the XM tuner when you start the XM playback and unmutes it when you start mp3/video, etc.. exactly at the same time rr unmutes/mutes the audio line (if setup).

4.If XM is muted, then it will unmute it, if not muted, do nothing.. the ,XM tells that this should only execute IF and ONLY IF XM is ON! (you don't want to unmute the XM Device if XM is not on (i.e. in Music mode).
