Turning off audio filtering in Winamp\Win7 by RukarioGyiyg996 at 9:53 PM EDT on March 19, 2011

Is there anyway to get "metal junk" audio to occur in Winamp or Windoze 7? I'm tired of listening to streams that are sampled at really low rates and they succumb to being "over smoothed" by ridiculous sample rate conversion\interpolation done by Windoze's audio mixer.

I want to beable to listen to these as how they would sound on the real DS. That and I never liked filtered audio to begin with anyways.

I think I saw this mentioned in another post but it's for foobar2000 and I don't have that installed, and I don't think it'd be easy to migrate to that either. Winamp's plugin search turns up nothing either. (I found one supposed "input plugin" that would "resample" audio to a certain frequency and it doesn't even do what it implied... stupid stupid stupid..)

I'm really hurting my ears over this, and I don't like wasting time converting to .WAV using a crappy program that ends up ruining half the stream just to get the sound "quality" I want.

what games are you trying to play?

Mostly Nintendo DS .STRM's and ADX's that are sampled at rates as low as 12000~ Hz. 22000~ Hz included.

I like to listen to music loud and filtered audio at that low of sample rate can really hurt someones ears..

Not a problem with ModPlug player but that's for modules, not streamed audio. And GSF's and 2SF's sound fine without any audio filtering.

So you want a better resampler for Winamp? Have you tried XMPlay instead?

No but I don't understand why there isn't a output plugin that would do the job, or why the Winamp DSound plugin can't do it either.

Try Winamp OpenAL Output Plug-in http://sourceforge.net/projects/winampopenalout/

Note: you'll need to disable 24bit audio support in Winamp's Playback settings for this plugin to work.

OpenAL still sounds smooth. If you want to know how I want it to sound, play a module file with NO interpolation, same goes for vio2sf with the "Interpolation" set to "No Interpolation".
