Do you have translated some of the new VISTA API?

I am interrested in the IAudioEndpointVolume interface, as well as the IAudioStreamVolume and the IAudioSessionManager.

(I am asking this because the old Mixer API doesn't work anymore on VISTA)

Time to move on

No, I don't have Vista. Do you have the WASAPI C header files?

[José Roca]

 
Thanks for the files. I will use them to update the new include files.

Ian Luck from www.un4seen.com has just released Bass.dll version 2.4.

This version introduces several changes to the parameters being used.
If ever you plan to upgrade to Bass.dll version 2.4, you must have BassBox version 1.26+.

I am currently checking the new BassBox version 1.26, if you want to check it yourself, just send me a private message.

Hi Patrice,

I am confused - the website mentions that on April 02nd there was released BASS 2.4, not 1.24.
BASS.DLL is awesome library, the first I am close to understand

One thing I noticed - BASS provides some effects via DirectX ( DirectSound or DirectMusic, not sure ).
I read somewhere that in Vista / DX 10 there were some changes in the way the sound part of DX works, do you have some more info on this topic please?


Thanks for the message,
Petr

Yes, that was a typo from me, i have fixed my previous message, version 2.4 is the latest release.

BassBox, works very well on VISTA
including the sound effects, see AudioFX.inc.

Anyone interrested to add midi support to BassBox?

If you want to decrease down the BassBox CPU's usage, without sacrifying audio and visual quality, add apiSleep(20) in the RenderOpenGL subroutine like this:

Code Select Expand


    IF glRC THEN

       nLevel = BassChannelGetLevel()

       nLpeak = SolvePeak(LO(WORD, nLevel), 128)
       nRpeak = SolvePeak(HI(WORD, nLevel), 128)

       BBP.Msg          = %BBP_RENDER
       BBP.ParentWindow = glCtrl
       BBP.DC           = glDC
       BBP.RC           = glRC
       BBP.Lpeak        = nLpeak
       BBP.Rpeak        = nRpeak
       BBP.BackARGB     = SK_AEROCOLOR()
       BBP.FFTdata      = BassChannelGetData()
       BBP.FFTsize      = 256
       BBP.MediaLength  = gnMediaLength
       BBP.MediaPos     = gnMediaPos
       BBP.WIMdata      = BassChannelGetWimData()

       CALL apiSleep(20) ' <------------------------

       CALL BBP_PLUGIN(BBP)

       '// Refresh display
       CALL SwapBuffers(glDC)
       CALL zUpdateWindow(glCtrl, 0)
       'CALL wglSwapBuffers(glDC)


This will reduce down the FPS to almost 46, but that is still more than playing a Movie
