Software that uses the soundcards have no way of preventing the soundcard driver from doing what it's doing in this case, which is what's causing the problem. There might be a setting in the soundcard driver's control panel, or windows soundcard settings, which turns off the automatic switching/disabling of inputs/outputs based on their connected state. If you're not able to change that setting so the soundcard driver isn't causing the problem, then I still suggest getting in touch with Intel so they can either add that option, or remove that "feature" which will end up breaking ANY software that needs continuous audio connection to the soundcard.
You can have FM and HD in the same preset. There is an "HD Treble" setting so that the HD and FM versions have the same amount of treble depending on how hard/bright the preset, and end user, drives the pre-emphasized FM clipper. The idea is that you get the FM to have the brightness you want, and then compensate for that extra treble in HD with that control.

check the dbr ratings.[/quote]
dBr is not a measure of loudness. There are very accurate measures of loudness (objective closely matching subjective) like ITU-R B.S.1770.
Anyways… loud-just-to-be-loud processing drives away listeners.
Just a note that if you're streaming with BreakawayOne encoders, they have automatic attenuation depending on codec and bitrate so there's no need to do any attenuation for them.

Correct. 🙂 And it was that "Breakaway Audio Enhancer" was forced to only output to the Pipeline. The Pipeline has never been limited in what software can connect to it.Unless you can run MPX/Composite into the transmitter, it's not going to ever perform very well at all. The Left/Right audio inputs have a high-pass of 50Hz, and probably phase distortion from the filter which will distort the waveform a LOT.
See if you're able to use that RDS/SCA/MPX input for the *entire* MPX/Composite input with audio in it as well. If there's no high-pass filters on that either, then you should be sounding pretty good & loud on air. 🙂
That sounds like a hardware/software issue with the NUC and the receiver. The NUC is probably auto-sensing if something is plugged in, and the receiver is doing something to make the NUC think the cable is unplugged. So far that's not normal but should be fine. The problem is that the NUC's soundcard drivers must be doing something that prevents Breakaway (and ANY other program) from having a continuous output to the soundcard left going when it's doing that.
You should try contacting Intel about this problem, if it's not possible to turn off that "functionality" within the soundcard driver settings.
Holy old post bump batman.
BBP's output can have pre-emphasized, and correctly de-emphasized audio. It cannot have a fully un-emphasized output. The encoder plugin path also is always after the final pre-emphasized clipper AND with the correct de-emphasis applied to it. The minimum amount of pre-emphasis is 15 microseconds.
The peak control in the hd & streaming paths of the latest versions of Leif's Omnia products (Omnia.9, Omnia.7, Omnia.9xe, Z/IPStream 9X/2, Z/IPStream R/2) is great. It's very transparent for normal to loud audio, and if you're looking to push a codec to its limits and drive away your listeners, it'll do that with minimum impact to the sound.
It is possible with the other Breakaway versions. For your use I recommend Breakaway Live, which can output to any soundcard, such as the Breakaway Pipeline. By default with the other versions of Breakaway, the Pipeline is configured for 3 virtual soundcards, but it can be adjusted. So you could have sound coming in from one virtual soundcard, and going out into another virtual soundcard that you record from. Breakaway Audio Enhancer version is limited to only sending audio out to real soundcards.
Part of the copy protection is external, which is how the Breakaway Audio Enhancer v1.40.02 installer updates it.
Can you take a screenshot of the error so we can see what else the window says?
Have you tried un-installing and re-installing Breakaway Live?

So, at least in Windows 7 (64 bit) the issue is Security. If you have Windows firewall and Security Essentials ON – BBP won't work.[/quote]
I think it's too early to say that yet.- It wouldn't be the firewall.
- Did you try installing Security Essentials again to see if Breakaway continues to work?
That aside… why aren't you using the latest version of BBP? You're the 2nd person reporting the same problem with the same older version of BBP.
What version of Windows are you using?
Did BBP stop working while it was already running, or did it stop working when it was trying to start running?
If BBP stopped working while it was running, have you checked "programs and features" / "add/remove programs" in the control panel to see if anything was installed/updated around the time it stopped working? (some software updates don't show up in there)
So you've tried adding an exception in your anti-virus, and tried disabling your anti-virus to see if Breakaway can work (or reinstall)…
Then can you see if you're able to:
- save screenshots of the settings you want to save
- restart Windows
- boot into Safe Mode (press F8 key a lot before the Windows loading screen displays and select "Safe Mode")
- uninstall all versions of Breakaway
- restart Windows
- boot into "Safe Mode with networking"
- install the latest Breakaway Audio Enhancer and then install whatever other versions of Breakaway you need
- see if it works (without sound of course)
- restart Windows
- see if it works
And if doesn't work:
- shut down Breakaway
- disable your anti-virus
- run Breakaway again
- see if it works
An "Access Denied" error could easily be caused by an anti-virus software, since it's hooking (intercepting) the file system (among other things) in ring 0, the deepest level of access within Windows.
[edit] i merged the two topics about this [/edit]
Did you change your default playback device to "Line 1" of "Breakaway Pipeline"?
You get to that by right-clicking on the speaker icon
in your system tray (usually bottom right of screen), click on "Playback Devices". When the "Sound" window opens, click on "Line 1" of "Breakaway Pipeline" and then click "Set Default" below.If you have any programs that still don't output sound through Breakaway, then you'll need to change the program's settings to use the default soundcard (or select Breakaway Pipeline Line 1 if that's not an option).
Let us know if that solves the problem. 8) Breakaway's setup wizard will have walked you through this process, but it's not always obvious the first time someone does it.
