What does this dropdown do? I thought it would allow me to assign different configuration files for each device, but it doesn't seem to work that way and the only way to do that seems to be using the "Device" commands. So what is the functionality of the dropdown? Nothing? I can't figure it out.

I'm having this issue as well. Convolution in the pre-mix stage simply does not seem to work. Someone else reported the same thing here, as well. Here's what's in my config.txt. Works: Stage: post-mix Convolution: ir1.wav Doesn't work: (buzzing output, seems to be correlated to when an application starts playing sound, then silence) Stage: pre-mix Convolution: ir1.wav I'm playing a two-channel audio file. Application does not seem to matter - any audio through Spotify, foobar2000, MPC-HC results...

Configuring my output as either two-channel or 7.1 in Windows doesn't make a difference....

I think I figured it out: logically most (all?) HRTFs should be symmetrical, since the head is (ideally) symmetrical and the virtual speaker placement is symmetrical. So, in theory, the transfer function from left speaker to right ear (L->R) should be identical to the transfer function from right speaker to left ear (R->L). And left speaker to left ear should be identical to right speaker to right ear. And so on and so forth. So you can reduce the 14 transfer functions down to 7 by taking advantage...

Thank you for the guide! This makes a lot of sense to me and confirms what I would expect that the finished .wav file should have 14 channels, but why do many of the impulse responses that come with HeSuVi only have 7 channels? For example, the following files in the hrir folder have only 7 channels: atmos-.wav cmss.wav dh-.wav dtshx-.wav gsx-.wav gsx_alt-.wav hear.wav oal_cia0.wav oal_cia1.wav oal_dflt.wav razer.wav razer_fix.wav sbx33-.wav sbx67-.wav sbx100-.wav sonic-.wav It seems like the math...

I believe I figured out the issue; I had my headphones plugged into the front headphone jack on my PC. I was under the impression that the rear stereo jack and the front stereo jack were the same thing, since they only showed up as one device in Windows. However, I found an option in the Realtek HD Audio Manager software to "Make front and rear output devices play back two different audio streams simultaneously", which makes it clear that at some level they are treated as separate devices. Enabling...
