deliplayer for windows vista problem?

[JohnnyBeGood]

Hi

I've been having this problem with deliplayer 2.03 & 2.50 beta 1 in vista Ultimate that it only plays sound through one speaker.

Anyone else experienced this?

I've tried with two different sound cards, creative audigy 2 and x-fi extreme gamer and they both have the same problem.

But if I set up a virtual clone of xp and use this, it works perfectly, so this makes me conclude that it's a vista problem only.

Any help is greatly appreciated it and no I don't want to revert to XP, I'm quite fond of vista ultimate despite this small mishap.

I had the same problem in Vista and ran Deliplayer using the Windows XP (Service Pack 2) compatibility mode. Even with this the volume level usually starts near zero.

I presume the 'per-application' balance in the Vista mixer is set to centre? Other than that, from searching Google it looks like you're SOL till it's fixed.

Just tried it, works fine here, on Vista x64.
You guys checked Sound -> Speakers -> Enhancements and "ticked" Immidiate mode and Speaker Fill?

There is always UADE 2.09 port for Windows by OddBod.

But it is a command line program and probably untested on Vista too.

He was trying to get a CygWinX gui to work

Actually I did try it under Vista, it works fine.

I have decided to abandon this as it just didn't work, you need so many Cygwin packages to make it run that you may as well just install the whole environment. Hopefully someone will port it as a native plugin for Winamp/Media Player/foobar/etc. unfortunately I don't have the skills to do it myself

Deliplayer is really strange for me too with channels in Vista x64. So I guess it's an application problem and not a user problem.

Same problem here, on Vista x64. Deliplayer still half rulez.

Anybody tried my dumb idea from post #4?

[Ironclaw]

Had the same problem with Vista, sort of, the problem I had was that deliplayer started out with stereo, but as soon as i tried to change the volume, only one channel were playing. So I just didn't use the volume in deliplayer, I used the one in windows instead, so... problem solved... but now I'm on glorious XP and have no problems at all.

5h00n4y, I don't have "Immidiate mode" or "Speaker Fill", so I guess that's depending on what soundcard you've installed.

I somehow made Deliplayer to work fine with Sp-1. Then it stopped working.
The usual user account/admin/"security" issues... Having solved that... now for the first time I get this single channel issue.
Even more
I have no "Immediate mode and Speaker Fill" options 5h00n4y, will try some other settings...

[CodyJarrett]

Did you try running it in Compatibility mode?

Right, I'm always forgetting about it... It depends on the speakers output config, in my case 5.1 and stereo in your's guys, right?

@wanderer: you tried bLAZER's music progie?
@bLAZER: you tried your own music proggie?

I did but I'm not sure that's the problem. I believe it's a permissions issue. I re-installed it in the admin user account and it now works. Installing in a standard user account with right-click "run as admin" never worked.
While logged as an admin (standard account has to be logged-off), right-clicked the deliplayer2 folder, added the standard user and gave it full control/allow.
I unchecked the read only option. (but it turns on back again).
Finally, right-clicked the 3 .exe files (deliui, deliplayer and deli) and checked "run program as an administrator" in the compatibility tab.
It now works in the standard account too. Only problem is that UAC requires the password every time.
There is a way to disable UAC for specific applications, I will find it and post it later if you want.

5h00n4y: hehe... yes it works perfectly!!

With two speakers that is... I'll tale a look at the 5.1 etc setup soon..

Enable Widestereo! Works for me.
Right click - SFX - Widestereo
Or..
Press Alt+4

Hope it works for you.

I had this same problem on Vista Ultimate.

XP Compatibility mode worked for me, although the volume slider always starts at 0.

Wide Stereo also worked to a degree, but it plays all 4 channels from only the right speaker and prob at wrong volume levels. Still had the problem of playing nothing through the left speaker.

Run as administrator did not change anything.

Do you use on-board audio? Try to find updated audio drivers and set xp/admin compatibility for deliui.exe and deliplayer.exe.
