XAudio2 upmixing matrices

Post by spacy51 »

Hey there, I just added the feature to upmix the GB's/GBA's stereo sound to the number of speakers which are attached to the souncard.

 

I took this inof sheet as a reference:

http://ac3filter.net/guides/mixing_matrix

 

And this for the speaker order:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb694506.aspx

 

 

Here are my matrices. Since I entered them by hand, it would be good if everyone who is into that stuff could tell me if they're good.

Is it OK if I leave the LFE always at 0 since it would receive frequencies higher than for ex. 120Hz?

I can still hear my LFE because my sound driver uses a crossover frequency to get the subwoofer signal from the low-freq part of the other channels.

 

Code: Select all

#ifdef STEREO_UPMIXING
// set up stereo upmixing
XAUDIO2_DEVICE_DETAILS dd;
ZeroMemory( &dd, sizeof( dd ) );
hr = xaud->GetDeviceDetails( 0, &dd );
ASSERT( hr == S_OK );
float *matrix = NULL;
matrix = (float*)malloc( sizeof( float ) * 2 * dd.OutputFormat.Format.nChannels );
switch( dd.OutputFormat.Format.nChannels ) {
	case 4: // 4.0
//Speaker \ Left Source           Right Source
/*Front L*/	matrix[0] = 1.0000f;  matrix[1] = 0.0000f;
/*Front R*/	matrix[2] = 0.0000f;  matrix[3] = 1.0000f;
/*Back  L*/	matrix[4] = 1.0000f;  matrix[5] = 0.0000f;
/*Back  R*/	matrix[6] = 0.0000f;  matrix[7] = 1.0000f;
		break;
	case 5: // 5.0
//Speaker \ Left Source           Right Source
/*Front L*/	matrix[0] = 1.0000f;  matrix[1] = 0.0000f;

LFE crossmixing should be made adjustable, as not all sound drivers mix LFE channels.

 

my main pc's Logitech Z640 and creative SB Live make a virtual surround already, though since i've been gaming on my other pc lately, i use my HTS's DPLII mixing.

Well, the problem is I have no idea if setting up a crossover frequency is possible with XAudio2.

you should totally make an Xaudio plugin for Project64 [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/tongue.png[/img]/emoticons/tongue@2x.png 2x" width="20" height="20" />
