Directsound Output V2.2.6 Ssrc Download

Directsound is a Microsoft API that provides low-level access to audio devices for applications that use sound effects, music, and voice input and output. Directsound output is a component of Directsound that handles the playback of audio streams to the sound card or other audio devices. Directsound output can be configured to use different sample rates, bit depths, and channel modes, depending on the capabilities of the audio device and the preferences of the user.

One of the features that Directsound output can support is hardware acceleration, which means that some audio processing tasks are performed by the audio device instead of the CPU. Hardware acceleration can improve the performance and quality of audio playback, especially for 3D sound effects and speaker configurations. However, not all audio devices support hardware acceleration, and some may have limited or incompatible features. In such cases, Directsound output may need to use software emulation or resampling to achieve the desired output format.

Resampling is the process of converting an audio stream from one sample rate to another. For example, if an audio stream has a sample rate of 44.1 kHz and the audio device supports only 48 kHz, then Directsound output needs to resample the stream to match the device's sample rate. Resampling can introduce some errors and distortions in the audio quality, depending on the algorithm and the quality level used. To minimize these effects, some users may prefer to use a high-quality resampling algorithm, such as SSRC (Shibatch Super xBRZ Resampler).

SSRC is a resampling algorithm that uses a sinc function to interpolate the samples in the audio stream. A sinc function is a mathematical function that can perfectly reconstruct a band-limited signal from its samples, without introducing any aliasing or artifacts. SSRC can achieve a high-quality resampling with low CPU usage and low latency. SSRC can also handle different bit depths and channel modes, and can apply dithering and noise shaping to reduce quantization noise. SSRC is widely regarded as one of the best resampling algorithms available for audio processing.

Directsound Output V2.2.6 SSRC is a plugin for Directsound output that integrates SSRC as a resampling option. This plugin was developed by Xenion and was released in 2002. The plugin allows users to select SSRC as the resampling method in the Directsound output configuration dialog, and to adjust some parameters such as quality level, dithering mode, and noise shaping mode. The plugin also includes a lite version and a normal version of Directsound output, which differ in the amount of features and options they offer.

Directsound Output V2.2.6 SSRC is a useful plugin for users who want to improve the quality of their audio playback with Directsound output. The plugin can be downloaded from [HydrogenAud], where users can also find more information and feedback about it. The plugin requires Windows XP or later, and a compatible sound card or audio device that supports Directsound output. The plugin is free to use and distribute, but users are advised to respect the license terms and credits of SSRC and Directsound output.
