Trouble playing a Silent Hill 2 stream rip by Pixel_Crusher at 4:19 AM EDT on June 20, 2011

Hi ya all! :D

So, I managed to scavenge a Silent Hill 2 stream rip from a Xbox streams torrent that used to be on Underground Gamer. My problem now is that most tracks don't play even with the latest vgmstream, as I keep getting this error in Winamp:

"Error creating DirectSound buffer. Error code: 80070057"

A similar thing occurred with Winamp's WaveOut plugin. Is there anyway to get around this problem or an audio output plugin that can solve this?

The issues are the 8-channel files, which are the .aix ones. If you're comfortable with running command line programs, you can extract these out into 4 2-channel adxes with aix2adx, which you can find here.

ok, I will give it a shot then thanks! ;)

I don't suppose future versions of vgmstream will be able to solve this problem or will they?

there aren't any plans for downmixing to stereo, no. the commandline decoder does now have an option to only output a pair of channels, though.
