Configuring Media Monkey 4 To Use WASAPI
To configure WASAPI Mode in Media Monkey 4, do the following:
- (If you haven’t already) install and run Media Monkey 4.
- Under the Tools menu, go to Options.
- Under the Player category pick Output Plug-ins.
- Click the radio button next to MediaMonkey WASAPI output.
- Click Configure.
On the MediaMonkey WASAPI output plugin configure page…
- Select USB2.0 High-Speed True HD Audio as your output device
(you may also select Default Device IF your Emotiva DAC is configured to be your Windows default output device).
- Check the box next to Exclusive Mode.
- Under Exclusive Mode select Automatic choice of format (per track).
- Click Advanced.
On the Advanced screen...
- UNCHECK the box next to Event driven Exclusive mode (recommended).
- UNCHECK the box next to Event driven Shared mode (recommended).
- Click OK three times to save your settings and exit.
NOTE: Windows “itself”, and Windows Media Player, do NOT use WASAPI Mode. WASAPI Mode must be configured in EACH player program that you wish to use it with. Configuring WASAPI Mode in Media Monkey will NOT configure Windows itself, or other Windows audio player programs (including Windows Media Player) to use WASAPI.
NOTE: Media Monkey lets you explicitly choose an audio output device, or simply tell it to use the Windows default setting. If you set your Emotiva DAC to be your default audio output device (in Control Panel), then Windows programs without specific output settings will use it, and Media Monkey will use it if you set Media Monkey to use the Default Device. However, if you specifically set Media Monkey to use your Emotiva DAC, but you DON’T set your Emotiva DAC as your Windows default output device, then Media Monkey will use it but other Windows devices will not. (If you configure things this way, Media Monkey will play music through your Emotiva DAC, but Windows noises and other sounds may be configured to play through other devices - like your computer’s speakers.)
