But with DTS-HD tracks, my receiver switches permanently between DTS-Master and PCM every two seconds, with no sound.
Thats why I'm really looking forward to the Eden audio branch Windows binaries.

Did anyone ever find an answer to this switching problem?

ptaylor999 Wrote:Hey Bluray - first off I have to thank you for all the support, and for putting this guide up in the first place. So, Thanks!no problem!
ptaylor999 Wrote:The vids look great (with the exception of Avatar) but there is a problem. No sound. My AV receiver is constantly switching between pcm and DTS-HD MA, and I get no sound at all.
And advice?
I'm SO CLOSE!!!
1. in control panel make sure you do these- hardware/sound>sound>playback>set "hdmi output" to default device>configure speaker configuration to "stereo".
2. in xbmc_hd_audio, do as shown below:

you're almost there...the best bd movies with 7.1 dts-hd/truehd to test your pre-eden are the latest thor and transformers. it isn't my type of movie, but the 7.1 dts-hd/truehd surround sounds are among the best!

Can't set the sound panel like you say as I do not have the "hdmi output" option that you suggest. This is what I'm seeing:
![[Image: soundpanel1.png]](http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/6995/soundpanel1.png)
When I set the "Realtek Digital Output" to default, I do not have any HD audio codecs under the "Supported Formats" tab.
However, the way I've been setting this panel up til now has been with the "VSX-0919AH" set to default, which DOES INDEED support both DTD-HD and Dolby TrueHD. This has been working fine for me with PowerDVD as my external player, as well as with MPC-HC. Why won't it work with this XBMC build?
Also, in XBMC hd audio I have my receiver selected, NOT the Realtek audio. Like So;
![[Image: xbmcaudio1.png]](http://img594.imageshack.us/img594/9660/xbmcaudio1.png)
Didn't see a reason to select the Realtek Audio as it's not selected in my sound panel.
Is there something else I can try?

Why won't it work with this XBMC build?if you connected your htpc to VSX-0919AH via hdmi, selecting vsx-919ah would be the proper hdmi output for your configuration. can you you highlight VSX-0919AH and click "configure" and select "stereo" for your speaker configuration. you can try to playback bd movie with dts-hd again.

Already tried that. I do have the stereo option available, but it makes no difference. I still get the audio switching back and forth from PCM to HD-MA. Aarrgh!
Could it be the way I have my audio filters set up for previous playback in PowerDVD?
Or could it be an HDMI handshake issue?

It IS an intel gpu. You mean an XBMC log? How to do that?

Mmmmm I dunno. My i5's been great to me thus far. It's done everything I've asked of it with no glitches at all. My money's on this problem being more related to an unreleased and unstable version of XBMC than an Intel chip that causes cars to crash and dirigible's to spontaneously explode.
Thanks very much for your help, Blu. Seems neither of us has a solution and I'm begrudgingly headed back to the land of external players to bitstream my HD audio, albeit from pre-eden versions. But I'll keep tryin the pre-eden builds with the folder re-naming trick you taught me, and at the very least I'll have proper media tagging to feast my eyes on just before PowerDVD hell descends on my film.
