16 years ago I purchased a LedWiz and obtained Randy's LuminAudio application to make my LEDs dance to the music coming from my jukebox. Everything worked great.
10 years ago I had to replace my Jukebox PC. After replacing the PC, my jukebox was working again but the LuminAudio application no longer flashed the LEDs to the music at all. I could not figure out what was wrong so I just decided to live without the flashing LEDs and enjoy that my jukebox was finally working again.
Today ...I was showing a friend my jukebox cabinet and told them the sides of my jukebox were designed with LEDs that used to flash with the music but that they did not currently work. It was at this time I decided I really should try to determine why the LEDs were not flashing (better late than never)
Below is my progress so far, which had some good results, but things are still not working properly. I am hoping someone who used Randy's LedWiz and LuminAudio application 10-15 years ago might be able to help me out.
a) I use 10 ports on the LedWiz (21 thru 30). Each port is used to connect 4 to 5 blue LEDs which are wired inline to each other.
b) I opened the LedWiz application and entered the "LumaAura Control" page. I selected each LedWiz port (21 thru 30) and verified that all of my LEDs light up successfully, which was nice to see after 10 years. I then deselected all of the ports and closed the LedWiz application.
c) I started the "LuminAudio" application, clicked "1" (to enable my one LedWiz board), clicked "Start Output" and started some music on my Jukebox, but no LEDs were blinking. This is not surprising, as this is what happened 10 years ago.
d) After a quick investigation on BYOAC, I realized the "LuminAudio" application needs the "Stereo Mix" setting, for my integrated audio card, to be enabled. After enabling "Stereo Mix" and retesting, I discovered 7 of 10 LED ports are now interacting to the music and flashing my blue LEDs, while 3 ports of LEDs never light up at all. I have tried various songs and none of them seem to result in the 3 ports lighting up at all
Questions:1) Why does the LuminAudio application only light up 7 of the 10 ports of LEDs when music is playing, even though the LedWiz application confirms all LEDs work successfully?
2) After stopping the music from playing, there are 4 ports of the LEDs that remain dimly(not flashing) lit up even though no music is playing. I would expect all LEDs to turn off when no music in on.
I am happy that 7 out of 10 LED ports are blinking to the music after 10 years, but since I have come this far, I was hoping to see if I could get the remaining issues resolved as well. Hopefully someone can help out.
