for sound normalization, i use ReClock and Enable sound Compressor "normal"

within dsplayer you can select reclock as your audio output.

so you can skip the audio from fddshow. and go with the first way of you trying to do things.

ReClock does indeed work for with the Internal Filters for me, I'll give it a try!

Does ReClock's Compressor do a comparable job to ffdshow audio's normalization? I was very pleased with the effect of the latter.
