I have done a search about this in the forum and found:

"... pregain is the regular gain everybody knows - change the volume of the signal before processing it (eg, encoding to mp3).
postgain is a method were gain is being asserted after processing the signal (eg, encode to mp3 and find the maximal gain at the same time, then raise up the volume by modyfing the global_gain).

Postgain information needed to be supported by players.
mp3, ac3, aac postgains are supported by all players, ogg postgain isn't.

as far divx encoders care, support for ogg postgain by the ogg dsf is all that needed, and should be introduced soon." Quote by DSPguru

In the new OggMachine (v0.2) there is a checkbox that enables post-gain. Does it mean that now post-gain is supported by some players. If so, which ones?

Another question:
What do I need to use the Surround2 plugin? Do I have to extract the plugin to the same directory of BeSweet or do I have to do anything else? Will it have any effect on the sound that I hear through my Sound Blaster 128 PCI with 4.1 speakers?

Thnx for the help. And thnx to DSPguru for all the work done!!

Will it have any effect on the sound that I hear through my Sound Blaster 128 PCI with 4.1 speakers?not familier with sb128 specs, but if it has 4.1 seperated channels and you're using a player like powerdvd4 that supports dolby pro-logic 2 decoding, this feature affects you :).

Thnx for the help. And thnx to DSPguru for all the work done!! 10q :)
