Thanks for trying Radium!


Radium requires Jack. If you haven't used Jack before,
it's a good idea to read this text before starting Radium.



JACK
====

Jack is an audio server which takes care of sending sound in and out of Radium.
In addition, Jack gives you the ability to send audio between any
ASIO or Jack application, and route sound any way you like.

If Jack isn't already installed on your computer, the simplest way
to get it is to install the included package:

    Jack_v1.9.9_32_setup.exe


After Jack is installed:

  1. From the Windows start menu, launch "Jack" -> "Jack Control"
  2. Go to "Setup" -> "Settings"
  3  Change "Server Prefix" from
        "jackd"
     to
        "jackd -S"
  4. Set "Driver" to "Portaudio"
  5. Unless you have an ASIO driver, set input device to "Windows Directsound::Primary Sound Capture Driver"
  6. Unless you have an ASIO driver, set output device to "Windows Directsound::Primary Sound Driver"
  7. Start Jack by pressing the Start button.


If Jack doesn't start, try starting jack again. Jack often fails to start the first time
you press "Start" in Windows 7. Remember to quit all programs making sound first.

If that doesn't help, try selecting different input and output devices.
The MME drivers usually works, but doesn't perform as well as other drivers.

Unless you have an ASIO driver for your soundcard, it might also work better to use the
Asio4All ASIO driver instead of the Directsound driver or the MME sound driver:

Now you can launch Radium.



32 bit vs. 64 bit version of Radium
===================================

This version of radium is 32 bit. Subscribers can contact me to get a 64 bit version,
and I should have one available within a day or so.

The only reason there is no 64 bit version available
for Windows yet, is because it takes a bit of time to gather the
source codes and compile all dependencies for 64 bit.
Radium runs in 64 bit mode on Linux without problems.
