SqueezePlay for Windows with ASIO, DirectSound, WASAPI and WDMKS device support.

Many thanks for this - I've been looking for a Squeezeplay that will handle my hi-res files.

By the way it happily plays 192 flacs from LMS 7.7

Yes, flacs work in 7.7, pcm was fixed in 7.8.

and you're welcome

Would it correctly playback FLAC multichannel files?

I'm having problems with this. I have a WinXP PC with Squeezeplay, ASIO4ALL and M2Tech USB converter. I usually leave the PC running 24/7, but I shut down Squeezeplay since when I leave it on, it sometimes crashes and freezes Windows.
I set the variables USEPADEVICE and USEPAHOSTAPI to the values showed by Squeezeslave. After a PC reboot everything worked fine. Then, if I shut down Squeezeplay and start it, say, next day again, eveything still looks fine (Squeezeplay activates the ASIO driver etc, connects to LMS) but there is no sound. I have to reboot the PC and then all is OK again. Any ideas?
Cheers

Hi,

I'm trying to get this version of Squeezeplay to work via WASAPI with the HRT Streamer II on Windows 7 64 bit. Squeezeslave -L yields the following:

* 2: (Windows DirectSound) Primary Sound Driver (119/239)
3: (Windows DirectSound) Speakers (2- Music Streamer II) (119/239)
4: (Windows DirectSound) Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) (119/239)
5: (Windows WASAPI) Speakers (2- Music Streamer II) (3/10)
6: (Windows WASAPI) Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio) (3/10)
8: (Windows WDM-KS) Speakers (Realtek HD Audio output) (10/40)
11: (Windows WDM-KS) Speakers (Music Streamer II) (10/85)

I've set the following environment variables:

USEPADEVICE - Speakers (2- Music Streamer II)
USEPAHOSTAPI - Windows WASAPI
USEPAMAXSAMPLERATE - 96000

However, Squeezeplay simply hangs with these settings. Changing USEPAHOSTAPI to Windows Directsound works fine though, but the sample rate is fixed by the Windows device.

Any ideas?

I'd suggest trying WDM-KS instead.

USEPADEVICE - Speakers (Music Streamer II)
USEPAHOSTAPI - Windows WDM-KS
USEPAMAXSAMPLERATE - 96000

WASAPI is using shared mode which means you need to set the sample rate to match the source you're trying to play.

I had the same issue, got round it by not specifying a USEPAHOSTAPI ie deleting that variable and setting my wasapi device to be the default, worked ok, although had latency issues playing 192/24, 96 was ok.

No.

[gorman]

No.

Would this be something "fixable" somehow?
