I am very happy with Stereo Tool WinAmp version but I'd like to get the standalone working so that my DVD's and other audio apps will be channeled through it.
I install it but cannot get any sound to process through it. Is it designed to allow internal apps to be processed or does it only take external input through the 'line in' of the sound card?
Any help would be appreciated.
Basically my system is a HP laptop running Windows Vista SP1 full updates applied. My sound chipset is Conexant.
I have the same issue with my desktop as well so I don't think it's an issue limited to my laptop.
The key IMHO is the sound card, type, make/model which support allowing you to play DVDs and other audio inputs.
This key is " kernal streaming ". Some may disagree with this BUT " kernal streaming " will allow you to talk or communicate directly with your sound card. IF and only IF your sound card supports DVD or othe input then ST(stereo tool) will give you or statisfy your needs or requirements.
I have a Creative X-fi Elite Pro sound card and use ST:
a. with SAM4 for internet radio
b. with SAMDJ for personal nad party music
c. with the DVD player from my sound card
There is a drawback namel, the card is expensive BUT it the the better out there NOT only giving you an Entertainment mode BUT also a Gaming mode and Audio creation mode. ST in all of the three instances will enhance the audio thus meeting your needs.
Certainly we all know that each system is different and we must take a look at the enviroment that ST is present in.
1. hardware
2. OS
3. connectivity(if used for broadcasting)
It is not easy but once done unherald in quality of audio.
