Still a wa2update problem...

djsoftwareskins · 18th February 2002, 11:51

Ok ! Now I can clearly affirm that the cause of the win crashes (for PETER : windows crash (in my case) =winamp would not work and pressing CTRL + ALT + DEL repetrvly would not open the close progrram dialog box , nor would it restart my PC - only if I pressed "RESET" OK?) were not due to my only 40 Mb of ram.
This morning I installed the same update on the folwing config :

Processor : P4 2 Ghz
Memory : 256 Mb SDRAM
Hard Drive : 40 Gb , 500 Mb Win Swapfile
Os : WinXP
Winamp vers before updating : 2.78
This is how it goes :
1.I open winamp
2.Double click to play a song
3.Then my pc stops working

After restarting my pc, went to :
Prefrences > Plug-ins > Output
selected crosfading or experimental direct sound and hited CONFIGURE
and winamp would again stop working...
Maybe there's somethin wrong whith this file...
I cannot attash it, as it is an .exe file and the accepted formats are only gif jpg png txt zip bmp jpeg wsz wal.
For those of u who are interested , give me an e-mail @ djsoftwaremail@yahoo.com or using winamp forum's e-mail button.....
Thanks in advance !!!

newest versions? or the old ones?

the newest version of crossfading is 1.337
and experimental is 1.36

download winamp 2 (update in my sig)

update your drivers and update directx to 8.1a (http://www.microsoft.com/directx)

and see if the bug is fixed

djsoftwareskins · 18th February 2002, 12:27

I forgot about that...
I downloaded that wa2update from sawg's signature a week ago
I'm givin it a try now... wait
the crosfading is v 1.337
experimental directsound output = 1.37
Thanks , the problem solved out..

djsoftwareskins · 18th February 2002, 12:31

I am downloading 8.1 now..
but I know that microsoft recomended t d like this :
(after hdd is formated and new win is installed) , first install latest vers of directx and then install video & sound drivers..
What do u say?
I checked out you're web page & I saw someone showing tha finger...

was that u?
ps : the versions of the wa2update I mensioned above are the new ones...

Rocker · 18th February 2002, 13:22

how'd you pick me out of the crowd

lol(you are fucking amazing)

doesn't matter how or when you install your drivers....newer is usually better....(not saying always)

default is standard....but I go for personal preference(still only minor changes)

djsoftwareskins · 18th February 2002, 13:30

It wasn't hard... I saw 3-4 pics, and u were in almost all of them...
The only bug i have see so far (in 20 minutes that is) is this :
If u leave

to play the whole song , at the end, the song doesn't crossfade correctly...
is that from me ?
Settings :
Default fade lenght - 300
on start - 330
on first start - dis
on end - 330
on pause/stop - 330
on seek - 300

Rocker · 18th February 2002, 13:36

...only that pic is me.... the others are friends

define 'not working correctly'

remember the second track starts before the last one finishes

djsoftwareskins · 18th February 2002, 13:44

Sorry for not beeing clear (again)- (yesterday this was the start of my controversary talk whith peter - which could have ended whith me kiked out of the forum)
It's difficult t say it in words but here it goes :
The way i know it (from sisqr soft's plug-in) it should be like this - song ends > volume down and next song volume up (u hear them together till fade out ends).
At me, the fade out/in dosn't work (whith the settings above)
I hear the 2 songs together for a little time and then only one (no fade)
Hope you'll understand this.

Rocker · 18th February 2002, 13:51

yeah....I believe peter has to have a look at this....i know what you mean but I don't know how to do it..or if the plug-in is capable of doing it.

i'll get this moved to peter's forum so he can have a look at it

peter · 18th February 2002, 14:29

looks like your soundcard drivers can't handle per-stream volume changes. oh well. btw, mister FAQ-less, didn't DJEgg tell you to post your FULL system specs, including SOUND CARD TYPE ? i hate when someone ignores DJEgg's replies.

djsoftwareskins · 18th February 2002, 17:06

Ok peter... forget what happend yesterday and pls help me now...
I didn't ignore DjEggs reply I just got carried away whith u
My sound card is an SBLive 5.1 whith drivers specialy designed for winXP

the specs. are (from the 1st post) :
Processor : P4 2 Ghz
Memory : 256 Mb SDRAM
Hard Drive : 40 Gb , 500 Mb Win Swapfile
Os : WinXP
Winamp vers before updating : 2.78

peter · 18th February 2002, 17:35

post your full out_ds config (find [out_ds] section in winamp.ini and paste it here).

djsoftwareskins · 18th February 2002, 17:44

here it is :

[OUT_DS]
cfg_buf_ms=2000
cfg_prebuf=30
cfg_oldpause=0
cfg_def_fade=300
cfg_wait=1
cfg_dev=1

I have another q :
Do the vB codes work only in your forums?
I sent a mail whith a vB code and didn't show up as here

djsoftwareskins · 18th February 2002, 17:49

What (exactly) does the "ADD BUFFER ACCES MODE" in the crossfader plug-in (it says Not Recomended)

peter · 18th February 2002, 18:09

there's a "HELP" button; ever wondered what it does ?
second, i have no bloody idea what's your problem; is out_ds config window THAT unreadable ? or are you too lazy to change some settings to get what you want ? anyway, another troll thread whacked.
