I can’t confirm this (but will ask Leif when we next make contact), but I think that the default LAME encoder is the ACTUAL developer version of LAME (“LAME Ain’t an MP3 Encoder”). There have been so many iterations since Mike Cheng’s original.
Cool Edit and then Audition used Fraunhofer’s original algorithm, which I always thought sounded “swishy” or “tinny”. Once it changed to a GPL implementation, there were some great improvements, although some versions were way better than those before or after.
Similar to MrKlorox, when I move the sliders I get VERY significant tonal changes. Sometimes, they work better with a particular genre, but I find, that the bundled presets work very well in a mixed-genre station.
I am streaming my own private music via BA1, so that I can receive it via my phone/Bluetooth to my car, and, right now, I am enjoying a slightly modified version of the “Amsterdam” preset through AAC.Are you using the “Audio Processor > Enhance” button? This should give you access to sliders for Deep Bass, Warmth, Presence and Brilliance sliders. Once you adjust these, BA1 will create a “modified” Preset which you can save as a separate preset.
There was another member of this forum who indicated that Leif had provided him with a “special” version to overcome a problem. I challenged Leif on this and he told me that, if he makes a change, it is incorporated into the very next general release.
The program would be commercially unsupportable if he were to release “tweaks” on the fly for each personal request.
It works fine on my system. At the time I connected, it was playing “ELIO E LE STORIE TESE – Born To Be Abramo” AAC 94-96kbps around 8:30pm Monday, 21 November 2022
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)As an aside, I believe that your input is too hot for AAC. It needs a little headroom, so I would lower the input several dB and let the AGC breathe easier. This is, of course, just my opinion.

How are you specifying the path to the shared folder? I believe that the path should be specified in the “UNC” format (\\ComputerName\SharedFolder).
I’ve not played with this at all, but, if you have two virtual cables defined and set one up as the input to BAE and the other as the output, you might then be able to configure Audials to “listen” to VAC2.
The other possibility is that you are using “KS” (Kernel Streaming) as the input and output. This is a very low level layer in the audio processing, and Audials may not listen at that level. Try changing the output of BAE to “WAV” or even “DS”. Audials may “see” the output at this higher layer.

I’ve been running 22H2 since 28th September and have not had a problem with BAE. It seems to be driver related, with some PCs failing and others sailing on unimpeded.
I’ve raised it with Leif. He may get back to me and ask you to provide more information on your particular environment.
Mark, I have been thinking about this issue. BA1 has no input option for either RDS or MPX. They are both generated internally (within the program, using shared code), so there is no way that they can “drift”.
I’m not sure how you are measuring, or even if the measurements can be verified, but I suspect that it may either be a matter of interpretation of the test data presented, or the testing method is flawed.
My role is to try to resolve problems presented here on the forum, so that the subject matter can be shared and viewed by others who may have the same or similar issues. It is also to try and protect Leif from direct contact as much as possible, so that he can get on with his development work.
You are very lucky to have received direct communication from Leif, so there is really not much more that I can add, as he is far more experienced than I am.
Perhaps, after you have resolved the issue, you can share with us all, so that someone else may resolve a similar problem.
