Hello all,
After numerous attempts at trying to get the Mad plugin to work at 24 bit resolution in Win2K with my Audiophile 2496, I am happy to report that it works perfectly due to the "Wrapper" that Ian Scott was kind enough to point me to.
The only issues are: 1. The "wrapped" device name does not show up in Winamp. Actually it does, as a blank entry. Simply select the blank entry.
The horrible static/buzz sound that all but drowned out the music was caused by the DSP plugin I was using. Once I disabled this, it worked fine. A real Duh,,,,....
Thanks again to Ian Scott, and to Rob Leslie.

Could someone please direct me to this wrapper URL? Thanks!

It looks like the original author's site (http://members.nbci.com/kmixer/www/) is down. Luckily, I saved the download. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a copy of the original page in my browser's cache.
I've put the wrapper driver up here: http://polpo.org/wwwdrv.zip
There are instructions inside the zip file.

Hello all,
Another problem I've found is that for some reason, the volume control and the equaliser in Winamp are disabled, as are all DSP plug ins, at least most of the ones I've tried. This happened even when I switched back to the non "wrapped" device in the Preferences section of the program and to 16 bit output in the Mad plugin.
The volume control on my Microsoft keyboard still works though. I'm going to try re-installing everything and see if the eq. and volume in Winamp work.
Is this disabling of the eq. and the volume control in Winamp part and parcel of having 24 or 32 bit outpt?
Regards,
Hitesh Patel.
