Also I'm a geek so I like the diagnostic ability that VAC gives you with its graceless but detailed UI. I'm using Virtual Audio Cable because I got some popping with VB Audio early on and gave up on it. Any player supporting WASAPI on Windows, such as JRiver Media Center or Foobar2000.Integrating WASAPI Players on Windows with HQPlayer for PCM I'll go over the software required, the configurations and their tradeoffs, and finally a set of batch commands to control HQPlayer using the command-line which makes it really easy to test out filters, shapers, and source URIs. I've attached a picture to show you what to do.HQPlayer has popped up in a few rather specific threads recently, and I've been doing quite a bit of work with it recently so I thought I'd start a dedicated general HQPlayer thread rather than start another specific one.įor starters I'm going to provide a tutorial on how to integrate Jriver Media Center, Foobar2000 or basically any other player that can use a WASAPI interface on Windows with HQPlayer in a fairly seamless fashion for PCM-based streams (you can upsample the fuck out of it in HQPlayer to DSD if you want). I recommend you start with 24 db/octave slopes and then change depending on your drivers and subs. Then you add high and low pass filters and possibly an adjust the volume filter. You copy the Left and Right channels to the Center and Subwoofer respectively. If you want to have stereo subs, you will need to do that entirely in Parametric Equalizer. You will need to make sure to move the Parametric Equalizer DSP after the Room Correction DSP by grabbing and moving it with the mouse. Activate the Parametric EQ DSP, add Mix Channels, and copy the subwoofer to the center channel.

This will give you bass output on channels 2 & 3 on the RME. If you use JRiver's Bass Management, you will still need to copy the subwoofer channel to the center channel. In JRiver you set the output to 5.1 in the Output Format DSP You can either use JRiver's bass management in the Room Correction DSP or you can route manually using the Parametric Equalizer DSP. Channel 19+ are routed to digital outputs. For example, channels 0-7 on my Steinberg UR824 go through the its own mixer while channels 10-18 bypass the mixer. You only change it if you are using a different set of outputs on an audio device. I posted in your thread at JRiver's forum, too.
