I wonder if there's a reason this scrapes the URL from the download page instead of directly downloading from https://www.foobar2000.org/getfile/foobar2000_v${pkgver}.exe ?

@phonemic : That's not Foobar2000 related, FB2K doesn't resample, unless told to (conf or plugin). If you want bit perfect output to a DAC, just use winetricks and change pulse to alsa for your Foobar wine prefix (if you need EQ use plugin inside foobar), or look into pipewire conf to avoid resampling or change resampling quality.

@AlexanderGedz I think it's because foobar is resampling hi-res files to 48Khz rather than playing them at the native sample rate. There's probably DSP enabled. I'll dig around.

@phonemic Well, I can't say for sure as it's pretty subjective, but I can't hear any difference when playing the same lossless files using foobar2000 vs. any other music player on my system. They do sound kinda compressed though — in my case regardless of the program; but if there's any issue here, it's not related to foobar specifically.

@AlexanderGedz Thanks! That fixed the error. However, the audio is bad quality compared to other players (mpv, vlc, etc.) It sounds highly compressed with digital artifacts. That your experience? My files are all lossless.

@phonemic I had the same issue and managed to fix it by following the instructions here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Wine#Sound.

In my case, installing the pipewire-pulse and lib32-libpulse packages resolved the problem. After installation, I restarted the PipeWire services:

systemctl --user restart pipewire
systemctl --user restart pipewire-pulse

...and skipping tracks started working correctly.

Getting an error when I skip tracks without explicitly stopping the previous one. Any suggestions?

"Unable to open item for playback (Audio device in use):"

Needs updating of Version number and sha sum

for others change version to 2.1.6 and change first SHA to cf4a67c8d5731a2328eb4a81de40ead108f9dec585d5278df98563cd3653254d

@myself601 DeaDBeeF's plugin ecosystem is nowhere as big. There’s no Coverflow plugin. And there was a lyrics plugin, forked after an earlier plugin stopped development. However, the developer quit after decreasing passion coincided with the DeadBeeF developer removing the already finished Russian translation in the wake of the Russian war for whatever reason. Needless to say, I am not comfortable with it both feature-wise and ethics-wise.
