Re: MIDI volume wrappers?

Actually it can control MIDI volume with its per application configuration, but as I said, I would like to have the option to change the volume from inside the application. To what I have read, MIDI is a very complex thing to tame and it's just because of some very bright ideas that allowed the …

Re: Recommended VGA DAC? (re: DisplayPort to VGA)

(S)VGA itself (analogue RGB with separate H/V sync) has no concrete theoretical upper limit, AFAIU. 2048x1536 is likely a common limit imposed by the RAMDACs that are (were?) available either as discrete components or integrated into VGA controllers (or GPUs). I have no idea if CRT monitors …

How is the HDfury X4? It’s listed at 225 MHz but only has an HDMI port. That has a scaler rather than just having a DAC going from digital to analog. I also could be wrong, but I believe VGA will top out at 2048x1536. Honestly, the cheap DP to VGA adapters offices use to get new computers working …

Thanks for including what you are actually trying to do. DxWnd intercepts the CD calls and has its own CD player which was created to allow the proxying of audio files in place of actual CD playback. This allows the playback to happen in its own process and thus volume can be controlled separately. …

Are you using Windows 10/11? If so any reason you can't use the volume mixer? Right-click the systray speaker and choose open volume mixer. It should list all applications and you should be able to adjust Coolsoft's volume. Another option is just pressing windows+G which will open the game bar. One …

Do you just want DisplayPort to VGA? The Sunix DPU3000 you mentioned was a triple display device that had DP, HDMI, and VGA output. Pretty much any DP to VGA adapter on the market handles up to 1080p 60hz. Maybe go with a $12-15 adapter versus the $7-8 if you are worried about the quality. But do …

Re: Setting up WinXP for more than gaming

Whatever you do, don't put it on the Internet unless it's hidden behind a NAT firewall. The Windows Update MiniTool has a version that is still supported on XP. It's a program that you can run rather than the standard Windows Update. It can download and install the latest patches for you. Just be …

I don't have a readily available Win3.11 install, but going off the ol' memory in the control panel there should be either a MIDI option, or it's limited under multimedia. One of the options should be the MIDI mapper which lets you choose the MIDI Output port to use. Do you see anything like that?

The red power light is on - but not blinking. I'll try some headphones and/or speakers directly. Thanks for the tip! The red power light will always just be lit up when it's power on. The amber light to the left will flash when it received it sees MIDI data. Since it's not flashing it's not seeing …

Does the audio light on the CM 300 blink at all? If there is MIDI activity should flash or at least be lit. Have you connected headphones or speakers directly to the CM 300 and see if there is audio coming out of it to rule out an issue with audio mixing on the AWE64?

Thank you everyone for your help. May try bridging the connections in time and hopefully this will correct the issue. Bridging won't help if that's really the problem. If the switch is stuck then the connection is already bridged and you need to break that link. The repair will require replacing …

Thank you for your replies. I’ve tested the different switch settings and checked using speedsys regarding the benchmarks which match what is reported and multiplayers which are as follows, using the last two (5 and 6 SW1 switches. The other four switches are set to 66mhz clock. DD: 133 mhz x2 …

Unfortunately, it looks like you can only do 1.5x,2x,2.5x and 3.0x according to the manual. The P55C 233 MMX is wired so 1.5x = 3.5x internally. From the manual, but it could vary based on board revision. But there are six switches. The first four switches control the bus speed, you'd want this set …
