Here is what I did:
1) Used the audio conversion ReplayGain on a flac file. Both trac and album gain are calculated and stored in the file. This gives the following ID Tags according to audioinfo:
replaygain_album_gain: +2.41 dB
replaygain_album_peak: 0.664947
replaygain_track_gain: +2.41 dB
replaygain_track_peak: 0.664947
2) Used the audiobook converter without DSP, with DSP set to track gain, with DSP set to album gain and generated three files.
3) Calculated CRC on all files which is identical:
CRC32 Filename
0337634A T:\test_dsp\no_gain.m4b
0337634A T:\test_dsp\album_gain.m4b
0337634A T:\test_dsp\track_gain.m4b
4) Used the replay gain conversion on all three files. The replay gain ID tags are a) the same for all three files and b) not zero, actually same magnitude as the original one.
5) Repeated the same procedure with lame for mp3 with identical results (the replay gains on the mp3 files are different from the m4b).
6) Tried a flac file from a different CD with identical results.
I am using version 13.1 and according to the update check all the latest versions of the codecs are the same. OS is Vista 32-bit.
Any idea what I might do wrong, where I may have the wrong configuration?
Thanks,
