3532 release candidate 1 :)

**Eugene Gavrilov** · Apr 25, 2003, 03:17 AM

3532 release candiate 1 (rc1) is out

http://kx.maincore.nl/kxdrv3532rc1-update.exe

changelog [since 3532-b]:
Added a 'kX/Mixer/EnableBalloonTooltips' registry option ['on' by default]
Fixed bug with APS SPDIF Recording levels*
Fixed bug with kX Synth volume
SPDIF Direct Recording option added for 10k2-based boards**
Fixed bug with B2B V2 plugin
Added support for Foobar2000 player (kX RemoteIR)
Added support for Windows Media Player (kX RemoteIR)
Added support for WinDVD Player (kX RemoteIR)

full changelog: browse the forum: http://www.hardwareheaven.com/showthre...threadid=14339 and http://www.hardwareheaven.com/showthre...threadid=14197

notes:
full GSIF support won't be implemented in 3532 final release, but, probably in 3533
spdif frequency issue is not solved yet (well, actually I cannot reproduce it -- seems to work fine here)...

* APS SPDIF recording level was invalid: although it provided 'gain' feature, it was set incorrectly in the DSP. the present implementation assumes that playback and recording levels of D1/D2 inputs (both on 'ins and outs' and 'recording level' pages of the kX Mixer) are equally scaled. if you really require 'gain' feature - add a gain plugin to the DSP.

** SPDIF direct recording provides unfiltered/unresampled recording of spdif signal. it doesn't go thru 10k2 effects engine and interpolators, so, no quality loss occurs. the only supported format is 48000/stereo/16bit. both coaxial spdif and cdspdif supported. this feature won't be available for 10k1-based cards (a hardware feature)

Eugene my freind there major bug in those new drivers kinda funny Volume contrall doesn't work even when it's muted there still sound comming threw the speakers kinda funny

But when I run speaker test I can hear the sub woofer finaly plus for that but there major bugs in this set people be cautions. Oh ya you can't even mute the sound and still plays sounds lol

RIV@NVX · Apr 25, 2003, 02:37 PM

1. new installer (introduced with 3532) has problems with Windows 2000. It installs the devices in the Device manager, but not ones under Control Panel\Sounds and Audio devices. Manual installlation is required.

2. another problem in Win2k - Settings\Setup buffers - drop down boxes don't work.

3. not OS-dependant - after installation, on first start it says: "Error registering soundfont support", and it never happens after that.

4. sliders on Main mixer page are not moving smoothly as on other pages.

Daniel Drummond · Apr 25, 2003, 05:35 PM

New version is working fine here with no problems detect until now. I have not experienced any of the problems described by Robert or Rivanvx, except for the "sliders not moving smoothly in the main page". WinXP Pro with SP here.

I got that too(OS XP sp1)

**Eugene Gavrilov** · Apr 26, 2003, 12:49 AM

the message "Error registering soundfont support" can be easily ignored

I'll keep an eye on the other issues

Hi Eugene,

Thanks a Million for the EnableBalloonTooltips regKey, but it doesn't work like anticipated :-/
The style changes from ballon to square, but if you disable the "EnableBalloonTips" in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Explorer\Advanced" the tips still wont show up. So while the visuale style has changed, the engine that drives it didn'r, and it is still dependant on that registery key being enabled.

As other users reported, i have the "Error registering soundfont support", but it is present every time you do a "Reset Global Settings". But if you say it can be safely ignored for now. It is just a bit annoying.

Another thing, the double Icon on "Reset Global Settings" syndrom is still present, but since you didnt mention it in the RC1 change log, i guess it didn't make it to this version.

Will keep you posted for more findings

**Eugene Gavrilov** · Apr 27, 2003, 12:34 AM

3532 rc2 is out

fixes:
-------
sfman registration messagebox
EnableBalloonTooltip registry flag
spdif frequency for audigy/audigy2
'reset global settings' icon fix

notes:
--------
the installation package is incomplete (in order to minimize traffic)
it lacks some .dlls and .chm files found in the 3532 rc1 distribution

url:
-----
http://kx.maincore.nl/kxdrv3532rc2.rar

installation:
---------------
unpack to the 3532rc1 folder ('Program Files\kX Project\3532')
(overwriting any existing files)

run setup.exe

to check:
-----------

windows 2000 issues -- I am unable to reproduce them...

according to my personal observations, the RC2 release seems to be very stable
the users are encouraged to install it in order to help tracking any bugs / issues
the faster we finish 3532, the faster we start 3533

/Eugene

3533?

wah lau leh.......

liquidalien · Apr 27, 2003, 10:59 AM

The RC2 runs perfectly for me (A1 Plat. Ex), bu how to use the remote with media player ?

Thanx.

dawkorn · Apr 28, 2003, 01:17 AM

Drivers working great,

only visual bug - ASIO Window graphic is partially transparent

System
P4 2.4
XP Pro
SB Live 5.1

Daniel Drummond · Apr 28, 2003, 01:32 AM

I've also noted that transparency bug.

**Eugene Gavrilov** · Apr 28, 2003, 01:45 AM

>> ASIO Window graphic is partially transparent

you mean 'Asio control panel'?

>> how to use the remote with media player

only the latest versions of media player are supported
(the one that reacts to 'ctrl+p / ctrl+s' short-keys)

also, you might need to activate the player's window manually (with your mouse

)

/Eugene

Daniel Drummond · Apr 28, 2003, 03:56 AM

Yes, ASIO control panel, when selected in Cubase for instance, has some transparencies (actually gets "skinned" with the images that were under it when I open it).

gooday · Apr 28, 2003, 07:16 AM

I also suffered the bug--"sliders not moving smoothly in the main page" and "refresh show delay continued to exist" and one mroe thing----the subwoover seem to heaver than before since 3532b1, it sound more powerful(have you guys noticed?)

Low-is · Apr 28, 2003, 12:45 PM

hello all

my gigastudio see with this last release a gsif compatible card but the midi part is not working in giga .
i see the uart midi port and can choose it but giga does not recive midi . in cubase sx and so on the midi input works great .
i know that the gsif support is not supported yet but want just say this

win98se

bye and thx

Joey · Apr 28, 2003, 11:25 PM

me too, salivating for GSIF support and checking for drivers every hour

TheTranceFan · Apr 29, 2003, 12:21 AM

Eugene: The effect in the ASIO control panel window is like you handled WM_ERASEBKGND by just telling Windows you handled it but without erasing anything.

Daniel Drummond · Apr 29, 2003, 01:32 AM

Joey, how do you intend to use GSIF support in WinXP? I thought it would only work in WIN98...

**Eugene Gavrilov** · Apr 29, 2003, 03:32 PM

the latest GSIF specification supports any WDM OS, including Win2k and WinXP

/Eugene

Daniel Drummond · Apr 29, 2003, 05:05 PM

Does that mean Gigasampler and Gigastudio will work in winxp, or that only GSIF is available?
