Title: Pitch shift with volume increase
Post by: noizy on December 10, 2012, 12:17:13 pm

Hi, this is my first post.

I recently discovered JRiver and found it great. the sound is great when cd's are ripped in flac or ape mode, except when I raise the volume. It appears to slow the pitch down, and raises the pitch back when the volume is decreased. Am I going insane?

Has this effect been witnessed by other users?

Regards.

Welcome.

I've never heard of volume changing the pitch.  What hardware do you have?

Regardless, just switch Media Center to 'Internal' volume and avoid outboard hardware / driver volume handling.  That's basically guaranteed to work nicely.  More here:

Hi Matt, thank you for your warm greeting.

I have an Asus P6t and Pentium i7, Windows 7 64bit, and an M-Audio Delta sound card.

I will attempt to set the internal volume as you suggest and see what happens. At the moment, I can only use the volume of the Delta soundcard as it has bypassed the windows mixer, which is fine, i do want to bypass all unnecessary signal paths.

As for the pitch shift effect, it is only slight, but is bugging me.

regards,

Ian.
