Vista Tutorial - Realtek HD - Rear speaker distortion FIX

For rear speaker output in winamp for most of us you need to use the "speaker fill" mode , however this can cause rear speaker distortion in music , it sounds crap. However i found a fix. Download the plugin "A3D_Output_Plug-in" for winamp , go into winamp options-Output change the output from directsound to the A3D plugin.

Go into General Purpose , change to the A3D setting and config it , tweak the settings to your desire , mine is like this below



Reload winamp , Perfect quality sound through all speakers no more distortion and works great in vista and windows 7!

ALSO ....

If your rear speaker output is FAR too low , don't bother going into the device manager and raising the db of the rears its not enough. Do it this way



This works especially well for quad and 4.1 systems especially when your can't raise the rear output db device manager.

You can use Realtek 3D SoundBack Beta 0.1 - add Winamp to its list and use the standard DirectSound output - it fixes the rear distortion and adds more "punch" to the sound...

Hi Neil,
Do you remember how you installed that plugin?
When i try to install it windows 7 immidiately comes with an error and won't run the installer at all.
Can you send me perhaps the plugin?
