AppAudioConfig ~ Audio App Registry Editor

Posted by tom2tec on

Starting from Windows Vista, you are allowed to change the sound volume of every application separately, and after you exit from the application, the last settings are saved in the Registry under:

 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\InternetExplorer\LowRegistry\Audio\PolicyConfig\PropertyStore

So the next time you run the application, your last settings are used. This tool displays your current audio settings of every application on your system, and allows you to easily change the setting of multiple applications at once. You can change the mute/unmute status, the sound volume level, and the right/left audio balance of the application.

foo_hdcd ~ Foobar2000 HDCD Decoder

Posted by tom2tec on

This PCM postprocessor component, currently utilized by the CDDA, WAV, FLAC, and WavPack inputs, will process 16-bit PCM data with HDCD packets into 20-bit PCM. If it fails to find any packet headers within the first 5 seconds of a track, it gives up.

The HDCD status will be indicated in the info variable “hdcd,” retrievable with either %__hdcd% or $info(hdcd). Extra info variables are “hdcd_peak_extend,” “hdcd_transient_filter” and “hdcd_gain.”

Also included is a simple scanner that processes up to 5 seconds of each track selected and reports all tracks which contain HDCD information. If users want it, I will impement a full file scanner that also reports which HDCD features are used throughout the tracks.

Those FLACs should still contain HDCD information, and the %__hdcd% info tag should be showing as much in the status bar. (Or in the playlist, if you have a playlist view that updates with dynamic metadata.)
