I don't know, I don't know what it is designed for. What is the plugin designed for?
Its an audio plugin it improves sound quality alot. I loved it and used it on the other jukebox program. Sound quality is unbelievable.
ps did you recieved a pm that I sent
Just tried it and dfx plugin work fine with V6. :beer
Everytime I power off V6 it somehow disables dfx plugin? I enable it and it works great but everytime I restart comp it becomes disable, any ideas.
Do you have a link to the plugin so someone else can try it
I'll put the link up let me find it. I found that it only becomes disabled when you shutdown jukebox while playing. If I power down and exit to windows and start off again it works fine. The pluggin only becomes disabled when I shutdown computer from jukebox, WMP says it b/c it crashed and so it disabled all plugins just incase crash had to do with a plugin.
Can download it here:

I would have thought the easiest way would be to set up a reg file to enable the plugins on boot up...
Please clarify, do you mean put WMP on a reg. I tried putting it on startup menu with no look. ???
You need to fin out what registry strings it sets to enable plugins and then alter the registry each start up with those values. A google search about what you are experiencing didn't turn up any answers other than you have to enable the plugins each time.
Barry I've tried that program some time ago and from what I remember I had to start it up everytime I had to use it with WMP.
alemar02,
I just tested the newest version of the DFX Plugin with the latest E-Touch 6 Private Release 6.0.17, and everytime I startup E-Touch the DFX plugin starts up, and when I power off E-Touch (exit to Windows) DFX shuts down, but everytime I re-open E-Touch DFX starts up again, so it is working fine for me. I even powered down the jukebox and restarted it and the DFX plugin was still working fine when opening E-Touch. Not sure what your issue could be. I also running this on Windows 7. Hope this helps.
i have also used dfx with xp and had no problems but with my jukeboxs i set them up
to hybenate when power button is pressed so everything is saved to memory and
when switched on it only takes about 15 seconds to resume with etouch and whatever
you had running before powering down
this is not same as standby this does power of the pc power supply
There must be some issue with that plugin then because i use the cross fader plugin fine. The only thing i can think is to re-enable the WMP plugins at start up.
Hey guys have any of you tried WMPlus it says it will enable plugins automaticly after restart heres a screen shot
http://bmproductions.fixnum.org/index.htm?http://bmproductions.fixnum.org/wmpplus/
You can downloaded here
http://bmproductions.fixnum.org/download/download.php?prog=WMPPlus&file=http://users.skynet.be/tim.debaets/software/WMPPlus-1.1.exe
I've fooled around with it but can't get to that plugin menu shown in the screenshot above.
All that seems to do is offer an enhanced dialogue for re-enabling the plugins.
I'm not having any issues with the DFX plugin getting disabled, as everytime I open E-Touch the DFX program starts up, so I'm not sure where the issue is. Is there something else you'd like me to test? Exactly how are you shutting down E-Touch that is disabling the plugin?
I just installed it here and then i loaded up E-Touch and set it to shutdown the PC when i exit E-Touch. I played a couple of tracks and indeed the plugin worked. Then I shutdown and it shutdown the PC as it should. I then booted the machine back up and loaded up E-Touch, played a song and the plugin fired up first time. This with what others have posted lead me to believe the issue isn't with E-Touch or the Plugin but the specific setup on this machine.

I have e touch in startup folder with plugins activated. In settings I choose power button to shutdown. While song is playing I press the power button and computer shutsdown upon reboot dfx is not activated. I open wmp manually and it gives me the message that plugins where deactivated.
Now if I put the power button to exit to windows and then reboot the dfx stays activated. Remember I'm a comercial operator and clients will not have access to anything except etouch. I gonna install everything new on a new computer I build up and see what occurs there. I really apreciate all your help guys.

In a comercial mode how can I shutdown etouch first then shutdown pc?

It may be a stupid question but How do you set that up?

Well i just used the shutdown PC on exit in E-Touch then when i powered off e-touch it shutdown the PC. In commercial environments they tend to just switch it off at the mains at the end of the night and i have seen that cause problems with all commercial jukeboxes because windows just doesn't like that and you can ultimately get corruption however I cannot get it to crash the plugin.
Are you using XP and media player 11 cause that is what i have.

Yes Barry I have xp wmp 11 but the crash only occurs when you shutdown the computer completely or choosing shut down option in the settings screen. If I shut down etouch to windows then shut down pc it will not crash. the only way I see around this for now is to give jukebox two monentary switches for shutdown. One for shuting down pc to windows and another to shutdown windows(pc).
Well I just tested this again by changing the Option for Power Off to Shutdown (On my Windowws 7 and XP PC with WMP 11), so I hit power off, both PC's shutdown I powered them back on again and...... DFX started up with E-Touch, so this doesn't look to be an E-Touch issue, you will need to look at the OS on your PC's/Jukeboxes. Try re-building a test PC and see if that runs differently. Also I am using the newest version of DFX, so see which version you are running. Hope you can figure it out. BTW, I checked and I am actually running DFX 8.5 as they want an upgrade fee for the new version 9.

Sneaky programmers and thier upgrade fees :D
Thanks eist1 I'll keep you updated I try another comp see if I get the same error hopefully I dont and I can be done with this.
It is odd because no one else is seeing the error, you don't have any other plugins installed do you that might be the cause?
No I dont think so I'm have the whole afternoon off. I'm gona try another pc see what happens. I'll keep you updated.
NO luck guys I may have to ry windows 7 like eist1 says b/c mine does not work. Darn plugin does anybody know of another plugin that does the equivalent to dfx meaning a sound enhance for WMP? Theres ton for winamp but not many for wmp.
alemar02,
DFX is also working on my XP PC with WMP 11. Are you doing a fresh install of Windows XP? And also what version of DFX plugin are you running?
Yes I'm giving up after buying a full license for the latest version of dfx. UNBIEALIVABLE! :downer
But I did find another plugin that works great everytime I boot and it gives a good quality sound also the only bad news I have to purchase now this one but hey that life huh!

YUP! I tried it on a fresh xp install and the whole nine yards. I've dedicated over two days trying to get this work here on my end with no luck but after surfing the net I finnally found another sound enhancer that works great. So its not all bad news! ;D Eist1 thanks for all your help, barry you too and everybody who helped. I dont regret switching to etouch I love the program but most of all the support that you get gere is amazing! Thanks guys!! :beer
I have actually been testing with DFX 8.5 so that "may" be the issue. Attached you will find the version I have been testing with, for testing purposes, why don't you try this and see if it works any better. It would be interesting to find out why this isn't working for you.

Also what is the name of the new Audio Enhancer you found?
Thanks I'll try this version out! 8)
Yeah I forgot to post is the one I tried was SRS Audio Sandbox. I'm tring to purchase it b/c like I stated it starts up before etouch and even if I shutdown it stays active. Here a link but I think this is a newwer version I'm downloading the demo now to see if it works as well:
