Wasapi audio help - bustelo - 2014-10-18
Hoping someone with more knowledge than I can help…
I cannot get wasapi audio to output any sound. I’ve chosen Wasapi HDMI as my audio output device. When I attempt to play a song, the player starts up and hangs at 1 second until I stop it. Selecting DirectSound as my audio output device in XBMC settings, everything works fine.
I have the final release of Gotham 13.2 installed. I have tried a complete uninstall/reinstall. I have both exclusive mode options checked in my Windows sound settings.
My system:
Windows Vista 32-bit
Motherboard: ASUS M3AH-HDMI
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2
Video card: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 550 Ti
2 gigs of ram
I have the Nvidia HD Audio drivers installed. I’ve disabled the motherboard’s on board sound in the device manager (made no difference).
I have the HDMI out on my video card connected to a Marantz nr1603 AVR with 5.1 speakers.
I’ve tried multiple sound files with no success (my AVR supports all these different formats anyway).
I did recently successfully use wasapi audio with J River Media Center. Although, I had to choose the push option (for older hardware) in J River’s settings . Whether this has any relevance to my issue with XBMC, I have no idea.
Thanks a ton if anyone can help.
Here are what I believe to be the relevant sections of my debug log...

Correct me if I am wrong but there is no need for the nvidia audio drivers, ( delete them ),go into windows audio properties and select your hdmi as your default audio.

Your saying I should be using microsoft's drivers instead? The AVR is selected as my default audio. Actually, with the on-board sound disabled, it is my only option.

Yes you want to tell windows to bypass everything and just use passthrough audio to your hdmi device. Make sure you look in audio properties for your devices capabilities

Anyone have any insight into this error loop that happens when I'm trying to play a song?
