The easiest method is to find a repack that includes Playit version 1.5.0.4 (the last stable build) with the SW Decoder plugin pre-installed.
Steps:
What this portable bundle contains:
Common decoder plugins come as .dll, .flt, or .ax files (DirectShow filters). For portability:
| Issue | Portable Fix |
|--------|----------------|
| "Filter not registered" | Use rundll32.exe "LAVAudio.ax",DllInstall from command line in that folder (may still write to registry) – truly portable is hard. |
| PlayIt crashes | Use 32-bit decoder with 32-bit PlayIt, 64-bit with 64-bit. |
| No audio | Try setting LAV Audio to output PCM instead of bitstream. |
