Ogg vorbis is muttering...

[OBcecado]

Hi ppl what can I do to resolve the following problem : When I open a ogg track in micro dvd (without having it muxed) I can't hear any voices, but if I open that track on winamp it's just ok?

Anyone can help me?
Thanks.

Is this a multichannel Vorbis file ?

[OBcecado]

Yes, it's a 6 channel track, is there any filter or option I have to set up, before being abre to playback ?


Thanks.

Well, i'm not 100% sure, but i seem to remember there was an issue with elder versions of the Ogg DirectShow filter in this respect, as very unfortunately Xiph people didnt use the AC3 channel order for 5.1 Vorbis, as implemented by HeadAC3he and BeSweet, but they insisted on using another order for the official Vorbis 5.1, so everything had to be changed.

Are you sure you are using the latest version of Tobias' filter ? ( 0.9.5 IIRC )

I'm not sure about the version I'm useing currently, gonna search about it, will write if it resolved the problem =)
Thanks for helping.

It's OggDS0995.exe that can be found in http://tobias.everwicked.com/ right ?
I downloaded that and the result is the same, voice is way too low and the other sounds are in normal volume.

Hmm ... i can assume you have a 5.1 soundcard ? Note that there is no downmixing function in current Ogg DS filter, so playing a Vorbis 5.1 track will only work with a 5.1 surround system right now.

Winamp has such a dwonmixing function built in, thats why it will work even with normal Stereo soundcards.

I know there was a freeware DShow downmixing filter from Gabriele published late last year and it seemed to solve a couple of issues with playing 5.1 Vorbis tracks on Stereo sound systems, but i cant link to the thread explaining it because it is on another webboard, and Doom9 forum rules forbid linking to there.

I got a audigy player and inspire 5300, that's a 5.1 system.
Any idea what this can be related with ?

Can anybody tell me, does such a problem occur when using normal stereo ogg file?

Also, where can I download micro dvd (not doom9, I'm having trouble with the anti-leeching script)?

AFAIK you can't play 6ch vorbis files yet. I have a 6 ch system that I've tried several times to get working and each time a new version of tobias's filter comes out I find it doesn't work because the channel mapping is still incorrect. Has this changed? Is there another implementation of ogg DirectShow filters that has corrected this?

Does anyone know if the ogg implementation with TCMP works with multichannel sources? (Or does it install Tobias's filter?)

PS I am using the newest version of Tobias's filters.

6ch-ogg is working perfectly for my with a sb extigy and a 5.1-Sytem. For 2ch-playback the Channel Downmixer by Trombettworks is working perfect. By the way, this Channel downmixer can also be used to remap the 6 channels to any configuration you like, and you can use it to find out with channels plays back on which speaker, since you can adjust the volume for each speaker sepeartely.
I'm using OggDS 0.9.9.5 with ZoomPlayer 2.9.

Seems i was doing something wrong, tried to play the file (6 ch ogg vorbis) and it played just perfect, anyway thank for the support people :D

Stay well.
