To be quite honest, I do have Jriver which I am well aware can handle Audiolense's convolution but the hassle of always switching audio device in playback option to a different preamp is killing me, so a seperate convolver for windows without having to switch anything in Jriver would be great. I have a few sound systems and maintain one specificaly for Jriver for the ease of use and would just like to use my other system without messing in Jriver.

Can anyone reccomend me a free or relatively cheap program which I can upload my Audolense CFG file? If it has some more options to tweak maybe some parametric EQ would be nice but anything simple and easy to use.

I am not sure I understand your problem.

When using JRiver in your system, why do you have a need to: "switch audio device in playback option to a different preamp". And, what exactly do you mean?

Using the convolver in JRiver, you should not need to switch devices, unless you have a very special use case.

Well, anytime I switch between sound systems (different preamp) I need to actively go into playback option and switch the audio device to which one I will use. I'm under impression that is perfectly normal. I don't want to do this.

My problem is that I would like a convolver other than Jriver to upload my Audiolense convolutions into when listening to music outside of Jriver.

You should look into using Voicemeeter (either Banana or Potato) and a VST plugin host like Hang Loose to run your system audio. I have written a guide demonstrating how to configure a system with these tools.

Have you looked at JRiver zones? You'll still have to switch to the correct zone, but once done there will be no additional configuration required.

BTW - I only skimmed through your instructions, but I think you can also use the Voicemeter's ASIO insert driver to eliminate the loopback. I haven't done this in a while, but go into HLConvolver and select the insert driver for I/O. Also, make sure to activate the insert from options. Now, the input will flow through VM, go through the insert driver in HLConvolver, and then go directly to the output device. If it works for you, it's a bit more straightforward.

Hope this helps.

Interesting. With the setup I use (the one I typed up in the guide) I haven't needed to use that feature. Everything works great. I'll look into this, though. Nice to know there's another option hidden in there.
