Thanks Giulio, incredible app! For me works flawless!
EDIT: How i set Hi-Fi Mode ON?
Read my previous reply to the same question.
Thanks 🙂
Thanks Giulio, that's great work. I would like to share two UI bugs and a suggestion. I am using Xonar D2X on Windows 8.1 x64.
Suggestion: In Profiles Environment settings are not available (found in Effects tab of Xonar Audio Center)
Bugs:
- When switching profiles SVN settings doesn't reflect in Xonar Audio Center
- When switching profiles EQ settings doesn't reflect in Xonar Audio Center
Thanks for your feedback. I took a note of your Environment feature request.
The other two aren't really XonarSwitch's bugs but rather a lack of a feature in the ASUS and C-Media control panels.
It's up to an application to reflect the changes in the parameters it shows when something else alters those parameters from outside. I had to specifically implement that kind of behavior in XonarSwitch so that the Real Time Settings reflected changes made by the ASUS and the C-Media control panels.
In the case of both the ASUS and the C-Media control panels, they only implemented feedback on those changes that are made through the system (audio channels, recording mixer, master volume and mute, etc.) while for all the other settings that are specific of the Xonar Card, they decided to act on the premise that their application was the only one sending commands to the card.
You can verify that if you open both the ASUS and the C-Media control panel, they don't reflect most of each other's changes of the settings until you change tabs back and forth.
Yes, I agree that's ASUS fault. One work-around can be adding an option to Kill and then relaunch Xonar Audio Center. Thanks for your work!
Hi Giulio,
First of all, fantastic work! Took me a while to come across XonarSwitch but it's exactly what I've been looking for!
I have a feature request for you,
Would it be possible to include output devices other than the xonar essence in the profiles? (thus disabling all other parameters for that profile)
My use case is as follows:
I have my PC connected to my home theatre via HDMI. I could connect audio to it as well over optical and use the xonar for that, but I would like to simply use the hdmi cable for digital audio. I have keyboard shorcuts bound to my keyboard's macro keys for headphones, headset, and PC speakers. I'd like to have another shortcut to switch my default output device to the HDMI out to the receiver!
I hope this is feasible, and I would love to leave you a small donation if there is someplace I can do that.
Thanks and take care,
Zed
One of the premises in XonarSwitch's development was that it would only have controlled a specific family of soundcards based on a certain driver architecture.
For this very reason, doing what you request would require more work than in could seem, even though what you ask is to change a system setting (the default render endpoint) rather than a card-specific one.
You can create a system shortcut
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-keyboard-shortcuts-open-programs#1TC=windows-7
for something like this:
http://www.daveamenta.com/2011-05/programmatically-or-command-line-change-the-default-sound-playback-device-in-windows-7/
and that should give you what you want. Haven't tried myself, but on paper it should work.
Thanks a lot for this, its a really well thought program that really makes manufacturer's control panels pail in comparison!
I have one small cosmetic only suggestion: Is it posible to have a choice on font face and size used by the UI? Or if thats too much, maybe you can set it to use the standard Windows UI font face and sizes (Tahoma 8pt, Segoe UI 9pt...)?
Or is there any reason you are using some kind of Arial font?
The main reason why I used the Arial font was to get predictable and OS-independed results when aligning interface elements. I guess I could try implementing the default interface font for the system XonarSwitch runs on, and see how it turns out.
Thing I always wanted, to easily switch between Headphones and Speakers just with some shortcut, but you dont support my Asus Xonar Phoebus 🙁
The Phoebus uses a different driver than other Xonar cards, and since XonarSwitch is rather driver-dependent, that's the reason Phoebus cards aren't currently supported.
Hi
I want to report something...
I have an A4tech slim keyboard with some adition buttons.One of the buttons is "Shutdown PC".I usually close the PC from without going to Start--> shut down blabla.Not sure if it's related in any way with the kayboard....Everytime when i close the PC i receive this error from XonarSwitch:
http://imgur.com/soM5Zgd
XonarSwitch is upgrading itself so chances that i have the latest version already
Thanks...
I posted a link to a picture on a filesharing site and the forum ignore the link...Anyway the error sounds like this:
Run-time error '91':
Object variable or With block variable not set
Cheers
Links in the comments work without embedding them in html code.
Thanks for the infor Carved
Thanks for reporting this. Does the error occur both when you close Windows from the start menu and when you use the keyoboard shutdown key? Does it happen if you manually close XonarSwitch by using the tray icon popup menu (right click)?
I made some trial and error:
Closing XonarSwitch BEFORE closing PC from keyboard ---> No error
Shutting down PC from Start menu WITHOUT closing XonarSwitch ---> No error
Shutting down PC from Keyboard WITHOUT closing XonarSwitch ----> Error
When i get the XonarSwitch error at shutdown, windows actually shows me that a program is still running (XonarSwitch) and asks me what to do "Force Shutdown" or "Cancel"..So basically XonarSwitch will be closed before shutdown (Forcefully or Not) so the PC will go through shutdown procedure..This happens if i use keyboard button!
Hope it helps...
I have a feeling that is related somehow
The fact it only happens when using the keyboard is probably the reason why nobody reported this before. If you are willing to help in further troubleshooting, please send me an e-mail by following the instructions above.
Giulio,
for backup profiles and settings all i have to do is export [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\XonarSwitch] ?
Thanks 🙂
Exactly, that will allow you to restore all of your settings and profiles.
please for the love of god make the tray headphone icon white, like all the other windows icons, it looks bad on grey color
other than that love the app 🙂
lol, I tried them on a darker theme and I agree they aren't very visible. I'll see what I can do for next revision.
Thanks for your feedback!
+1 would be great to get a white tray icon like operating system icons.Thx!
But only colorwise, the icon itself is great!
Hello,
Just a quick question/request: Is it possible to change the behaviour of XonarSwitch to the one of the windows default "volume tool" in the tray. I mean just a left click on the programm at the tray and using the mousewheel to change the volume. Atm you have to left click XonarSwitch and highlight the volumbar first before using the mousewheel.
Thanks for your work so far!
Thanks for your feedback.
I'll see what I can do about that: it would certainly make it more user-friendly.
Thanks a lot. 🙂
Giulio,
Is it possible to get zero latency mic input monitoring on Xonar DGX? Can it be fixed with a driver update?
With the current latency, this card is useless for monitoring mic/line in inputs.
Mic input latency is something that has to do with the hardware and the driver, and those are things that only ASUS or C-Media can affect afaik.
I merely provide an interface to try and make sending commands to the sound card as convenient as possible.
Would it be possible to make the volume bar that appears next to the icon in the notification area be optional? I think it looked better before that was added and it's actually not needed for me since I just use XonarSwitch for changing between different inputs and adjust volume with the hardware volume knob.
The volume bar shouldn't appear unless you left click on the tray icon. If you use a hardware volume knob and switch profiles using keyboards shortcuts you should never see it.
Sorry, I'm talking about the really small one that shows up next to the icon. It was added in one of the recent updates.
I might add a way to remove the volume overlay from the default icons. In the meanwhile there is already a way you can achieve the same result with the current revision:
1) Extract the speakers, headphones and SPDIF icons from the executable using somethihg like icon sushi or equivalent. Save the icons in the XonarSwitch folder for convenience.
2) Edit all your profiles, choosing the relevant icon. Make sure "Volume Overlay" is disabled.
After switching to profiles, you should have the same icon you have right now, but without the volume overlay.
Many thanks for this killer utility!! Much needed!!
Thank you Man! The App is incredible;) Good luck with new versions!
Thank you so much for this app! You are doing a really good job! It makes things so much easier, I never want to use my Xonar without XonarSwitch again.
🙂
Wassup Man! I wish you luck and success in development of this app. Thx u Giulio!
