Hi Rob. I'm using Vista as you gotta remember and on Winamp, my output is set on "WaveOut" which if I'm right is the default one chosen by Winamp. I already tryed once to switch to DirectSound even if I'm on Vista and I don't remember having noticed any big difffrence. I wonder if it would be useful to have an OpenAL plugin for Winamp since we could get hardware acceleration through the Creative's Alchemy.

About time my family stopped watching TV, now I can finaly test a few sound preset with Ozone. I think I'll have no other choice than disabling my customized EQ because else there is way too much bass, even if the bass button is turned down to 35% as seen on the picture below, with treble to 60%. I tryed a few preset while listening to Metal music. The best so far seems to be the one named "Ozone Free - Subtle analog modeling". Even if I choose "Default with less bass" there is still too much bass. At first I didn't knew why but now I do. I noticed that each preset modify the values inside those 3 sections (Tube Amplifier, Room Simulation, Valve Equalizer) and from "Default - Less bass" to "Default" to "Subtle analog modeling" the (Bass Compression) goes like this -----> 11.4 to 8.6 to 3.0

Tomorow I'll have more time to mess with this. Since it looks rather hard to know every settings in this plugin and customize it on your own, I might start by choosing the best preset then just modify it a little by changing 1-2 values by myself. Edit: Oh and just to make sure as I wouldn't want to confuse you, I never used/enabled the EQ from Winamp.
