My video volume seems fine, but then again I have to downmix everything to stereo.

I actually use those quick jumps more than going into its actual location in system. What I saw in trac last night worries me more. It appears (maybe I read the notes wrong) that the pre-amp levels are being moved out of the GUI and into advancedsettings.xml. I use these a lot.

Thing is that quick jump never worked in any version of aeon outside the hardware settings and i guess there is already one setting in MUSIC - PLAYER and another one in SYSTEM -> AUDIO HARDWARE? so we have a third entry to audio hardware now. what for? On xbmc.org they're talking about removing unneccessary settings, and in the same breathetake they add duplicates of existing ones Wink

if it was me up to decide, i would rename the MUSIC settings to AUDIO settings and just keep all audio related stuff in it. easy to understand, easy to access.

if you need to readjust your preamp settings a lot, you should think of normalizing your music at creation level..

I think all 3 entry points have always been there haven't they? I think they did it that way because it's not necessarily only related to music or video and it is a system setting. Just renaming music to audio isn't perfect either. there are a lot of settings in there for music stuff (scrapers, library settings, etc.), not just audio setup.

I guess saying a lot is overkill, but I do use it. Miostly when setting up XBMC on a new system and some audio leveling needs to be done. I just like having everything in the GUI instead of having to kill XBMC and edit an .xml file. But this is staying off-topic so I'll just hush now.

no access to multichannel sound for you? is that your hardware not capable of, or is your build simply not working in passthrough mode?

because i just watched minority report (hd) with dts audio tonight without an issue on dx 23658.. although i'm missing the text "passthrough mode, volume not available" when tried to change volume in xbmc.

strange. i could have sworn the one in video settings wasn't there on an older build ~lol~

I just don't have a surround sound system Sad Maybe this Christmas if business picks up.

Anyone experiencing frame drops with 23658 DX..?

I am dropping a frame here and there.. I formatted my drive, installed vista again.. thought it was driver issues, heat, a lot of stuff I had to go through to overcome it.. Even then still I am losing a frame or two every few minutes...

but. an old problem comes back (also it was already discussed some posts before): the change brightness slider in the OSD ist gone again. Sad

anyone else having problems with vsync? in the lastest builds?

I had issues with fast forward and backwards movement while a HD movie was playing. At 1 point I got a fatal error and the application crashed. I am using the newest dx build.
