lekt player

yes, seems v3.72.1 IntFF is best. for piano sound need more raw. still a bit imbalance so here's shadow, need improve clarity.

for bypass many things of wasapi components i loop on windows registry for finding ID string of default device (like as {0.0.0.00000000}.{079be562-3cdd-4814-b694-0285d6304993} ) and open device handle, get its buffer pointer. there's almost use function NtDeviceIoControlFile to manage soundcard device and start playing. render loop only load data to device buffer, waiting and load/waiting ... no need wasapi audio objects.
think need manually input device ID string to exe file or to .bat file, so can bypass finding in windows regstry, much benefit.
will build next versions with this idea.

Cant wait to listen to the new version!!


Think 3.71.1 has truer sound of piano notes. 3.72.1 IntFF piano notes are too 'hard' in comparison. Same goes for guitar sound, 3.71.1 has more flexibility in guitar sound

uploaded:
lekt.exe v3.73 mod
lektmod.exe v2.0

v3.73 run with device ID manuaaly set by run lektmod.exe (need place lekt.exe and lektmod.exe in the same folder).
the first time and each time when change soundcard device (for example, when you plug headphones or unplug it only) need run lektmod.exe (double click to file) for writting default soundcard device ID into lekt.exe file.
try listen music, i feel piano sound very good emotion, good depth.

First impression feels like 3.73 there's​ no music it cannot play! So much ease, and like you said so much depth! Thinner bass but improved transparency.
Very analog sounding indeed.

However, it seems piercing. Too much 's'. Need to fix it

Great work!

Will test more tomorrow!

[jesuscheung]

Been testing with too many apps running. Not good hehe

Now turn off everything....
Test again

Bass is richer
Bass now warm
Mid becomes sweet
's' is reduced

3.73 does sound different! Can fool someone this sound is from a CD player!

99% of software has a win10 sound signiture when playing from win10.

Yea, bass is thinner, makes sound slightly harsh and piercing

new code from old versions, that's forgot one no needed code block in v73.3, hehe... will remove it and fix some bad aligment code.
interesting, last versions can work for soundcards other than onboard ? did you try?

my system with speakers/TV via HDMI, optical connection now don't work, it is corrupt and can't listen music and test lekt player. need buy new.

The new Android 8.0 sounds really good, thinks its becoming better sounding than win10

[jesuscheung]

Listening to different versions for days now....
3.73 is the best. Music has soul.
Only too much 's'.
Depth is incredible.
Play slow music better than all older lekt.
Play fast music as good as always.
for me it is the most enjoyable version.

agree, i feel good emotion from this version.
im testing new method import windows API function pointer into .exe file. but why sound more hard? finding reason...
