Classic Spectrum Analyzer Winamp S3/19/2021
Please take a minute to review the new Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.At first, it had worked for several months, then all of a sudden, each time I tried to activate or configure it, it causes my Winamp to crash.Ive uninstalled and reinstalled several times to try and clear the problem, but it persists.Is it possible to troubleshoot this visualizer please I would like to use it.

HOWEVER, this time I moved forwardbackward within the track, either with the cursor keys or the mouse, and Spectrum started working again Naturally, when the next track starts playing, Spectrum does not work. Topic: Does Classic Spectrum Analyzer work in WASAPI mode (Read 1194 times). Classic Spectrum Analyzer Winamp S Full Albums AndWinamp is my preferred and only music player since version 1.0 and I dont plan to ever migrate, because I always listen to full albums and dont need the fancy interfaces of library-driven modern players. I have only one problem in Wacup which I am unable to troubleshoot so far (or in previous Wacup versions), although I consider myself an advanced user. Classic Spectrum Analyzer Winamp S Drivers Wacup OutputOS: Windows 7 x64 Pro, 8GB RAM Soundcard: Realtek ALC887 (onboard) with latest drivers Wacup Output Device: Realtek speakers or DFX Audio Enhancer Wacup version: v1.0.12.5500 portable Problem: The Classic Spectrum Analyzer (and the oscilloscope) in the main window (Winamp classic skin) does not work when the output mode is Wasapi (Not So Wasapi v.1.2.2). I just get a snake rolling left and right, see attached screenshot. By the way, the Classic Spectrum Analyzer v2.0.6 as a Visualisation in its separate window works OK - it doesnt work within the main Wacup window. Procedure to reproduce the problem: In Preferences - Plug-ins - Output select the Not So YASAPI plugin instead of the default DirectSound. As everybody knows, WASAPI (and ASIO) are the only output modes that should used for music reproduction, since they ensure low latency and, if lucky, bit-accurate playback, so I am not going back to Directsound anytime soon. It may be a Windows 7 thing so I will try to replicate in Win10 VM and report back. I would appreciate any confirming or denying reports from Windows 7 users. Thanks in advance for any help - Will be glad to provide more details. DirectSound has its place imho as its generally better supported without the compatibility issues that WASAPIASIO have (e.g. I can only use ASIO via ASIO4ALL due to a lack of decent driver support which has been the case for me over numerous bits of hardware). If it is of any help, in Winamp v5.666 where I am using the YASAPINT Output v2.3.5 (msc) Teamwhite plugin, it works totally OK when playing mp3 (also in its separate window). When attempting to play a flac file in Winamp v5.666, it works for half a second and then I get the same snake behaviour. The classic visualisation (visclassic.dll v1.0.0.0) in its own separate window has the same exact problem (attempts to draw and then reverts to snake). Regarding Directsound vs WASAPIASIO I agree its hard to implement ASIO properly, and that its mainly oriented towards musicians and DSP workstation where minimal latency is an absolute must. This is why MS implemented WASAPI as the new Windows audio standard and IMHO they have done an admirable work. ![]() AFAIK no easily graphical utility to see whats going on at the hardware level has ever been written - while there are tools to implement arbitrary graphs (see e.g. VB-Audio does a good job at providing insights at the software level. One has to read all of the WDM audio subsystem in and make educated guesses. This is also why I stick to Winamp: it ensures DirectX alternatives exist (remember KS streaming) and also because it was the first to provide the MAD mp3 input plugin which still is a must. I remember the KS plug-in as I made a patched version of it for a user a year or two back to allow them to use an older audio device that was having some issues. Classic Spectrum Analyzer Winamp S Update A PlugThough the support for that mode is more quirky than ASIO from what Id seen when trying to test update a plug-in that Ive no means to use for playback. Ill reply back once Ive had a chance to work on the issue. The track ended, and when the next track started playing, Spectrum stopped working.
