Samplitude question
« on: April 16, 2006, 10:52:43 PM »
It's annoyed me for awhile.  Figured someone here might know the answer.  Why is the volume during playback in Samplitude so low?  And I mean really low.  The only way for me to listen is to crank my stereo loud.  The headphone out and pc speakers get nothing fully cranked up.  I have a lot of audio programs and this is the only one that does this.  Why?

If you press "m" to bring up the master section of the mixer, when playing back audio, does the audio show 0db on the meters?
If not, you probably have some setting in the mixer section that is affecting the level.

Does the applet in the system tray have any control over this volume?

In windows, in the lower right hand corner (system tray). Is there a little speaker there? which when you click on it gives you control over wave, synth, cd, line in, etc.

Just trying to figure out how your soundcard is tied into your system. Like on my laptop, for instance, there is only one windows sound device. I have Samplitude on it and the audio is routed to it. I think it uses a device driver which interacts with the windows kmixer. There is no way to avoid it using that soundcard. Ideally, with an addon soundcard, the driver would allow you to bypass this windows layer and talk directly to the hardware. I think that is called "kernel streaming" in windows terminology.

Can you provide more details? What soundcard? Host OS? Maybe someone has that same setup with experience with Samplitude.

It's your standard soundmax card that comes with Dells.  All the volumes are up on the system tray thingy.  WIndows XP.  Like I said all my other programs are fine.  ie. soundforge, wavelab, Audacity so this is wierd.

There is an .ini file which holds the static settings. If you can erase [or rename] that file and then restart the application, maybe the settings will revert back to the defaults. If it's anything in your settings, that could fix it.

Try renaming sam7_E.ini to something else, then start the application. Samplitude will create a new one.

If it doesn't make any difference, then erase the new one and rename the original one back the way it was.

go to the tab "play/rec"(in the main window) and then click "playback options"

V/U parameters can be changed there.
I am on V8 pro but I think V7 is similar.

Good one Teddy. I never knew about that dialog. I have always used the mixer controls.

It also comes up by pressing 'p' on the keyboard.
