Ripped Wav file does not sound close to the Original CD [Solved]

<< < (3/3)

Thanks mbagge,

I always forced my HDMI card to be a default sound card. Never realized that other sounds may affect the playback. I will enable the other sound card. From MC side all is pretty clear.

 Now from MS windows side what do you recommend
1)   I should configure my HDMI card for 2 speakers only? And not for 7.1?
2)   What should I set bit rate and frequency? 24/96 or 14/44 or does it even matter?

mbagge:
The general idea is that MC should own the soundcard exclusively (can only be done with more than one card in the PC) and not allowing Windows to 'interfere' with the sound.

ad1) as 2 speaker - the receiver will do the decoding and MC Will decide how many audio channels to open
ad2) use default - MC will handle this if the source material call for it otherwise the soundcard have to resample

Great Job mbagge:

Your instructions and screen shots were well explained. This is exactly what I wanted. Now it sounds great. Thanks again

mbagge:
I am pleased to hear that you can enjoy listening to your music again.

I have got a lot of inspiration from http://thewelltemperedcomputer.com/ while trying to figure out what is going on in there as well as following many interresting threads in this forum.
