  1. Hi. Is it possible to set an external audio renderer, e.g. MPC Audio Renderer for the mpv player?

  2. You won't be able to do that since MPC Audio Renderer is for DirectShow players such as MPC-HC/MPC-BE/BS-Player/PotPlayer. MPV player is a player that has all the necessary codecs and files included within it. MPV has its own audio renderers such as WASAPI, SDL, and OpenAL. MPV is able to do audio exclusive through WASAPI, allowing you to change to whatever the sample rate of a file is and preventing audio from other applications. MPC Audio Renderer uses WASAPI shared and WASAPI Exclusive sound.

  3. More as I set.

    --ao=wasapi --audio-exclusive=yes --wasapi-exclusive-buffer=50

    Should it come out the same?

  4. If you are using Windows then that should technically work for you. Most people will say when working correctly that WASAPI sounds the same on all programs in renderers etc.

    It's easier to use a mpv.conf file to put those commands into it. I recommend Notepad++ program for easier control over all sorts of type of text-like files.

    mpv.conf -- inside commands:
    ex:
    ao=wasapi
    audio-exclusive=yes
    wasapi-exclusive-buffer=50

    You won't need to put in wasapi since MPV uses this audio renderer by default in Windows. You can just do audio-exclusive by itself without the 'yes' part but either way is fine. Wasapi-exclusive-buffer is a new command that was implemented into MPV not too long ago to give more control to the user.

    You can go even further to make MPV more portable by putting a ' portable_config ' folder into MPV directory if you like and then putting mpv.conf file into it. You can just make a text file and then rename it to mpv.conf name.

    Wasapi isn't supported in Linux, just Windows.
