HDMI passthrough to TV speakers question - Esquandolas - 2012-05-16 18:48
I'm running Eden with the following setup in windows
HTPC -> HDMI -> Denon AVR2312 -> HDMI -> Samsung LCD
Audio with the amp on works great, and when passthrough is active I get windows audio and XBMC menu audio, but no dts down converted audio for movies. I get the failed to initialize audio device (I'm using the wasapi nvidia hdmi driver) If I go in and change the audio settings and uncheck "DTS capable receiver" it works over the tv speakers.
In an effort to make my setup wife approved, I'm wondering if there is a way to do this automatically when using passthrough yet go back to DTS enabled when using the amp. Is this a side effect of being misconfigured some how?

Did you select the correct WASAPI:...................in XBMC settings/system/audio output?

About the only way to deal with this is to use profiles - not a great solution. Obviously your receiver accepts DTS and your TV doesn't - not at all uncommon. I just always leave the receiver on.
