How to add the Vista audio enhancements to the X-Meridian
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special thanks to AVOpus for this one fellas:
By default, the X-Meridian does not display the audio enhancements that Vista has to offer (I have no idea why). Here is how to get them to work with the X-Meridian:
First, you need another device that can be used as a sound card. It could be a USB audio device or the onboard audio of your motherboard. Most people will disable their onboard audio in the BIOS when they have an add-on card like the X-Meridian. Make sure your onboard audio is set to Enabled in the BIOS. Consult your motherboard manual if you're not sure how to do this. Also make sure that the drivers are loaded for your audio device.
You will then have to see if the enhancements are available for that audio device. Go into the Vista control panel and select the Sound applet. Right click on your audio device and click on properties. If you see a tab called Enhancements then you can continue on with the next step. Otherwise you'll have to try using another audio device.
What we want to do now is to copy the settings in the Windows registry for that device and import them into the settings for the X-Meridian to give the XM the same functionality. Click on Start, Run, type regedit, and click on OK. This will open the Windows registry editor. If the run command is not available, you can also click on Control-Alt-Delete on your keyboard (all at the same time), then click on Start Task Manager. When the Task Manager opens click on New Task, type regedit in that box, and click on OK. Then close the Task Manager windows.
In the registry editor, find the folder called HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and expand it. You will find a subfolder called Software. Under Software will be another one called Microsoft, then Windows, then CurrentVersion, then MMDevices, Audio, and finally Render.
Now, under the Render folder you will find several subfolders. To simplify things,
expand all of them. You will find that the folders have weird names such as {0c6d66ab-6f2e-4460-85ba-be96762dab52}. You will notice that some of these folders contain only one folder (Properties) and the others contain TWO subfolders (FxProperties AND Properties). We only want to work with the ones that have BOTH subfolders so ignore all the other ones.
So, for the next step, you only need to concern yourself with the folders that contain BOTH subfolders. Take a look at the Properties subfolder for each of those folders. To the right, you will see a bunch of entries but you should also see the name of an audio device. It might show X-Meridian, or the name of your onboard audio, or the name of your USB audio device. You'll also find another entry for the specific part of that audio device. For example, in my registry I have the following:
One folder with: High Definition Audio Device and Speakers
Another with: High Definition Audio Device and Digital Out
Another with: High Definition Audio Device and Headphones
And finally: X-Meridian and Speakers
So, the High Definition Audio Device in my system is for the onboard sound card on my Asus motherboard. The X-Meridian is obviously my add-on soundcard.
Now, of the four folders and devices that I found I only want to concern myself with the ones that have Speakers listed. Ignore the other ones. So, we're now down to TWO folders. One that contains the speakers settings for your X-Meridian and the other that contains the speakers settings for your other audio device (the USB or onboard audio).
In the next step, we will be exporting the settings of your onboard or USB audio device and importing it into the settings of your X-Meridian.
Using the folder that contains the settings for your onboard or USB audio device, right click on the folder that is found directly above it called FxProperties, click on
Export, and save the file on your desktop with the name settings.reg
Next, look at that folder's parent folder. It should show some code like we spoke
about above such as {0c6d66ab-6f2e-4460-85ba-be96762dab52}. Write down that code on a piece of paper, EXACTLY as it's displayed, and write down "Temp audio device" next to it so we can identify it later.
Next, find the folder that contains the X-Meridian and Speakers entries as we did above and write down the code found in it's parent folder such as {0c6d66ab-6f2e-4460-85ba-be96762dab52}. Make sure you write it down EXACLY as it's shown! Beside that code, write down "X-Meridian" so we know what it is.
Now, go to the settings.reg file that you saved on your desktop, right click and click on Edit. Within that file, you'll find quite a bit of code but you will also find a
section that contains the exact same code string that you wrote down earlier for your Temp Audio Device. What you have to do here is delete everything within the { } brackets and replace it with the code you called X-Meridian. Once that is done, save the file by clicking on File and Save. Then close the file.
So, at this point, our registry hack has been fully prepared so we now have to import it into the registry. The problem we now face is that the registry key that contains the X-Meridian speakers information isn't set with the permissions to allow us to make changes to it. So, what we have to do is FORCE it to give us access:
Right click on the folder that has the same name of the code we called X-Meridian and click on Permissions. Next, click on the Advanced button and then click on the Owner tab. Now, highlight the name of your windows profile which is the same as your logon name. Put a checkmark next to "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" and the click on Apply. Then, go to the Permissions tab and remove the checkmark next to "Inclde inheritable permissions from this object's parent". As soon as you do that, a window will popup. Click on the Copy button in that window.
Now we want to give you full control over that key. In the window called Permission Entries you should see a bunch of entries. Find all the ones with the name Users in it. You may have only one, or sometimes two, three, etc. For each one of the Users folders you find, highlight the entry, click on the Edit button, put a checkmark next to Full Control, and hit OK. Do this for any other entry with the name of Users. Once that is done, put a checkmark in the box called "Replace all existing inheritable permissions on all descendants with inheritable permissions from this object". Then hit Apply, click on Yes when the warning window pops up, and then click on OK, to close down the permissions window. You can now close the registry editor.
The registry key is now ready to accept the new information. Simply doubleclick on the settings.reg file on your desktop and click on Yes when the warning window pops up. If you did everything correctly, you should get a window saying that the operation was successful. If it gives an error message, you'll unfortunately need to start over as you either misunderstood something or did something wrong.
Now, reboot your computer. After it's booted up, go back into Control Panel, and
Sound. Right click on Speakers Auzen X-Meridian, click on Properties, and the
Enhancements tab should now be there and fully functional. Every item in there will say disabled at first. You need to put a checkmark next to the enhancements you wish to use and click Apply to enable them.
Feel free to message me if you somehow managed to screw this up
