eli said:can someone explain this whole bypass thing in windows? I run winamp, can I make it sound better by bypassing....?kmixer? where would one get the kind of thing to bypass it?
any info would be awesome
eli, the deal with bypassing kmixer is to avoid some of the bad things it does to the sound.
in my opinion: unless you got a decent sound setup (good soundcard and speakers/headphones) you won't be able to tell the difference. anyway, two ways of bypassing the kmixer is either using asio (if the soundcard supports it) or kernel streaming (only supported by foobar 2000 afaik).
check this site out for some plug-ins for winamp:
