Failed to load mxdrv.dll by Yntec at 9:37 AM EST on January 16, 2026
I'm having problems playing mdx (X68K) music files on my Winamp on Windows 7. I downloaded the in_mdx plugin from here https://github.com/FIX94/in_mdx/releases and unpacked the mxdrv.dll file from MXDRV200B.LZH from https://gorry.haun.org/mx/index_e.html#DOWNLOAD but after putting them (including X68Sound.dll) on my plugin directory I get the "Failed to load mxdrv.dll" error as in the thread title when Winamp starts. Can you play mdx files on Winamp just fine? It seems I'm the first person getting this error as I can't find any help using google. The older in_mdx from... year 2000 throws an error with weird symbols on startup.
EDIT - moving mxdrv.dll to the folder winamp.exe is gets rid of the error but music files don't play.

Never heard of MXD. Do you have an example file to test things? If a particular format doesn't seem to play, it's most likely another plugin trying to play the file before in_mxd gets the change to play it. If another plugin reports to Winamp "it can load the file" then Winamp will send the file to this other plugin before it even tries to pass it to in_mxd. Same thing happens with VGMstream when "unknown extensions" is enabled.
