How do I bypass KMixer in Windows XP

Guys;

I have searched the threads and still have been unable to determine how I can set up my external USB Dac to receive a USB feed out of Windows XP WITHOUT the signal passing thru KMixer.

I'm struggling to figure out if there's a fairly easy way to do this, or if a move to Vista- or a MAC- is the way to proceed.

Your direction is appreciated!

Here's one guide you can use Windows XP Audio Playback - Setup Guide. Here's the driver you need ASIO4all.

Here's another great player you can try for grins J.River Media center. Here's how to set it up J River Media Center Setup.

Good luck

Hi just go to the link above " Windows XP Audio Playback - Setup Guide'. It explains how to setup WMP. I would advise using Foobar or J.River media jukebox instead of WMP. The J.River jukebox is free and really runs circles around WMP.
You're welcomed Danlib1.

Another alternative is to upgrade to Vista SP2, use the WASAPI plugin with Foobar or J.River and be done with it. You can get up to 24/192 output if your Dac is capable and you use the SPDIF output of the PC.
