You de man DDDamian Laugh

I went and reviewed my settings in the Onkyo menu. My settings for analogue, S/PDIF and HDMI were pretty much the same - Direct. The settings for all the HD formats were set to match the source data, DTS HD Master, Dolby TrueHD and DSD etc.

But (due to some omission on my part), there on page two of the source settings, was the culprit. The setting for Multichannel PCM was "Last Valid" Blush

Once I set it to "Direct", all was well with WASAPI - all the channels mapped correctly to the relevant speakers. What I can't quite figure out is why the DirectSound mixer on Windows was giving me full 5.1 effect on my system (with a display of MCH 5.1 on the amplifier), but the same source file on WASAPI was causing the amp to trigger some form of blending of the two back channels onto the two front speakers, no doubt caused by the "Last Valid" setting on the amp. All is working as it should now, phew! It was all so much easier in the old analogue days!

I'm looking to merge spotyxbmc with your build DDDamian, any chance you could link a git/upload source, maybe with RC2 code ? Or just point to where I can find the patches you use

Kind regards,
Jaypeg

I just did a build with the latest, I'll push it to GitHub and link here in a few.

Here's a straightforward branch with RC2 + HD Audio. If you go to the downloads area there's a ready-built AE installable there too.

DanielaE Thank You!!!!!! - pmv800 - 2012-03-03 07:44

I wish I would have came across your fix sooner. When need to get this to the top of Google searches so can save people a lot of time and headaches, Great Work!

I'd rather suggest to put builds at the top of the thread in the first post Rolleyes

@Damian, at the Download link it says "51.5MB · Uploaded a month ago" this is not RC2 with Danielas fix - right?

DDDamian Wrote:Odd, I don't have that issue using WASAPI & Catalyst 12.1 or Realtek drivers. All 5.1 channels map correctly and I matrix the sides to the backs of my 7.1 using PLIIx, and it clearly maps the sides to the backs, not the front to the backs.

Just to be clear, if you play 5.1 content your BL & BR channels simply mirror your FL & FR channels?

Is there any chance your receiver is set to 5.1 stereo (map stereo to all channels)?

What happens when you "test" the individual speakers from the windows sound configuration panel?

And what does your receiver show when you play 5.1 content?

I can confirm my 4 rear speakers work correctly, but only after setting XBMC to output 5.1, instead of 7.1.

This one is for AudioEngine I think.
But that would also be a good place for any windows binary builts of this
HD Audio Patch since searching in this thread for the newest built can be hard...

I had config error (finger trouble!) with my Onkyo settings. All good now. I have only two rear speakers (5.1 config), so that setting in xbmc is good for me. Any 7.1 test files seem to blend the side surrounds between the rear and front, but I'd say that this is the amp doing that.
