Just wnated to ask, what do people use for best winamp output? I have the ASIO output plugin but asio interferes with games when playing songs in the BG during a game (expected really from a beta output plugin that streams direct to the card)

Anyway, I'm using directsound out in hardware mode on my xfi and in winamp's playback section I have dithering and 24bit output enabled. I have 24bit crystalizer enabled and set to "minimum" which elevates nicely high notes on low bitrate mp files making them sound much better.

Is this the common setting used by anyone else here?

P.S. I am not using CMSS-3D or SVM modes on the xfi console, only the crystalizer.

I don't use any EQ or tone controls in software as I output to my amplifier btw but I keep hearing that 24bit output and asio streaming is "awesome" though my normal output sounds awesome anyway so I could not hear any difference which was why I wanted to ask :p
 
I've actually found the best settings now and it's not ASIO (ASIO tends to corrupt sounds when playing winamp during gaming play etc)

I use no crystaliser, no EAX (in entertainment mode), no CMSS-3D - 50% bass and treble and max master volume, this feed goes into my amp and the quality is superb :)

Directsound out in winamp btw in hardware mode.
