NvMixer HIDDEN settings pages!

[DanaG]

DLS works perfectly for me. I do notice that some other options don't work. The major goodies here are muting individual apps (like Windows itself), "ignore Windows speaker setting" (to fix audio reverting to 2 channel in old games), NVSWAP functionality, Invert Phase, and individual switching of analog or digital.

nice find. very cool. but what the hell does audio firewall do?

[bilemke]

All this talk inspired me to find something.. Remember a few releases back you could switch between the last 2 speaker settings you had used, from the nvmixer tray icon? It last worked in the audio util from the 5.10 driver set.. Then it got broken.. If you do a fresh install of any newer version it wont even show the entries in the right click of the tray icon.. I liked using this for switching between "5.1 Speakers (Dolby Digital Live)" and "Headphones (NVIDIA CineSurround)".. In the even you didnt do a fresh install they might be there but dont change to reflect the last two changes you made.. Anyway.. I found the keys that the newer ones use, but will not change/update (or create if they are not there).. For mine it is...

Code: Select all

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NVIDIA Corporation\NVMixer\Profiles]
"SpeakerModeA"="2 Speakers (NVIDIA CineSurround)"
"SpeakerIndexA"=dword:00000080
"SpeakerModeB"="5.1 Speakers (Dolby Digital Live)"
"SpeakerIndexB"=dword:00001000


Other settings include

Code: Select all

"SpeakerModeA"="5.1 Speakers"
"SpeakerIndexA"=dword:00000800
"SpeakerModeB"="5.1 Speakers (Dolby Digital Live)"
"SpeakerIndexB"=dword:00001000

"SpeakerModeA"="4 Speakers"
"SpeakerIndexA"=dword:00000100
"SpeakerModeB"="4 Speakers (Dolby Surround)"
"SpeakerIndexB"=dword:00000200

"SpeakerModeA"="2 Speakers"
"SpeakerIndexA"=dword:00000020
"SpeakerModeB"="2 Speakers (NVIDIA CineSurround)"
"SpeakerIndexB"=dword:00000080

"SpeakerModeA"="Headphones"
"SpeakerIndexA"=dword:00000001
"SpeakerModeB"="Headphones (NVIDIA CineSurround)"
"SpeakerIndexB"=dword:00000010

You can only have two.. A and B .. B will be the upper one in the menu and A will be the lower.. You can put any of the above in as A or B in the order you pick.

Nice find! I got the ShowAdvanced working but the ShowFirewall crashes the panel. Drivers version 4.57 and panel version 4.50...hmm, I tried to load some soundfonts but i didn't get them working... o_O
Load the soundfont and nvidia dsl synthesizer playing the midi, right??

[DanaG]

Go to start->run and run DXDiag. On the MIDI tab, it lists which outputs are hardware and which support DLS. Run the test on each while trying the different DLS files.

I couldn't access the .reg file, so I'll provide the code in case someone else might have problems

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\NVIDIA Corporation\NVMixer\Settings]
"ShowAdvanced"=hex:01,00,00,00
"ShowFirewall"=hex:01,00,00,00

Has anyone figured out what 'Spin Down Timer (Seconds)' does? It is on the Advanced page under Digital.

Thanks

Thanks, got the dls files workin... how about the .sf2 soundfont files?? they seem not to work

I have trouble finding those dls banks?? any good places to find them?

If you´re on a nf2, dont write the "ShowFirewall" key ! My nvmixer crashed with that key enabled and worked without, showing the advanced tab

I am on an ASUS A7N8X and the audio firewall shows up OK for me.
