System Requirements
If your PC doesn’t meet these system requirements, the Inguz processor probably won’t work. The most important thing is to have a fast CPU.
- PC running Windows (XP Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2003, or Vista);
- At least 2GHz CPU processor;
- At least 512MB RAM memory;
- At least 10GB free disk space.
Installation
Things To Do First
Before you install the Inguz plugin and processor:
- Install SlimServer version 6.3.1 or later. (You probably did this already).
- Install .NET Framework 2.0, if it’s not already installed. (Vista has this installed already).
Installing the Software
Download and run the installer.
(Alternatively, you can manually install each piece, but that’s much harder and only recommended for Windows users if the installer doesn’t work. Some Vista users have reported that the installer can’t locate SlimServer).
Getting Started
Starting the Plugin
SlimServer may not recognize the plugin immediately when it’s installed. Then, when the plugin is first used, it needs to write some configuration information. The first time:
- Restart SlimServer.
- From the SlimServer web interface, select . Verify that the “EQ” plugin is checked.
- From the SlimServer web interface, select . Verify that the “Plugins” menu or the “EQ” plugin are active.
- Using the remote control, select the “EQ” menu (under Plugins). You will see a message indicating that SlimServer must be restarted.
- Restart SlimServer a second time.
Configuring File Types
After installing, you need to configure SlimServer to use InguzDSP for particular types of audio files. You can choose to only process certain files (FLAC, or MP3, for example), but you’ll usually want to set this configuration to process every type of audio.
To playback MP3 files with InguzDSP, you will need to install LAME. Follow the LAME instructions on the Slim Wiki.
From the SlimServer web interface, select . Check all the boxes which have “InguzDSP” in the decoder listing, and uncheck everything else.
Finally, restart SlimServer again.
Running
Now the plugin and filter processor are installed, you should be able to play music. From the remote control, you can configure the plugin and change equalization settings.
More detail about using the remote control can be found here.
For room correction, you need to create and install room correction filters.
After playing the first track, check that there’s a file in the application data folder (or in Vista, ). This is the filter processor’s log file, and you should read it occasionally to check that the filter processor is working properly. More detail about the log file can be found here.
