8.10. BASS.DLL

On this page, mAirList's audio engine BASS.DLL can be configured.

Buffer size, update period

If you have problems with drop-outs, or want to improve latency, try to change these values. Default is 500ms and 100ms.

Plugins

BASS.DLL natively supports WAV, MP3, MP2, MP1, OGG and AIFF files. Other formats, e.\,g. WMA, are supported through add-ons, which can be downloaded from the BASS.DLL homepage http://www.un4seen.com. To activate a plugin, put the downloaded BASSxxx.dll file into the mAirList folder and enter the file name into this field. Multiple plugin names can be entered, delimited by spaces.

Force multichannel output

Sometimes, BASS.DLL does not detect all channels on a multichannel sound card, even if the speaker type is set correctly in Control Panel (cf. Section 8.2.1, “Output Devices”). Setting this option disables automatic channel detection, and BASS.DLL regards every sound card as 7.1. mAirListConfig needs to be restarted to activate this behavior, and you can then select the desired channel pair in the Output Device dialog.
