christoofar Wrote:Yes, exactly. Before I could select DPL II for any stereo .avis or any of my music files. Now even though the surround light is on, they come thru only my L&R speakers, the center isn't outputting sound. And if I enable DPLII the SQ goes wierd & trebly/phasey = not good.
The earlier versions weren't doing this. I'm connected thru HDMI to my HDAudio capable Panasonic AVR.
Are you having any issues using Party Mode?

>>X<<' Wrote:How many channels are output is controlled by your audio driver if it outputs more than two I'm guess DPLII wont work correctly on your amp as it expects 2ch for it to work, earlier versions probably worked because your driver wasn't running in multi channel until you reinstalled it the other day

I cant think of any directshow that can make audio changes at driver level which is why they tend to have their own dolby decoding so you can leave it set to multichannel and directshow does the DPLII decoding

Only way I think your get it working is switching to two channel in your driver control panel I'm referring to passthrough/bitstreaming it might be ok with analogue

Have you tried having xbmc set to analogue then setting your amp to DPLII as its possible that might be ok ?

Is this something native to your build, or XBMC in general? Are you able to fix it? Other that that, this build on my AsRock 330 is running very solid.

hades_2100 Wrote:Yes, similar setup as well, with a similar problem. Is your setup ATI or NVidia based? Mine is connected to an ATI4350, and, aside from the built-in Windows Audio setup, I couldn't find any HDMI-Audio settings in the ATI setup. At least the NVidia setup allows you to configure some HDMI-Audio settings.

I will also try analogue output, but it might take a few hours. I have a Harman Kardon AVR260.

tiben20 Wrote:I bet the way to remove every related error would be complex. I do think it could be done by using directly xbmc audio renderers for the playback. I did some change 5 minutes that could help fixing your actual problem just need to post a release to see if its fixing it

hades_2100 Wrote:Was able to try it quicker then expected. And the receiver is a Harman Kardon AVR254, not 260. Eh.

Switching to analogue had no impact on anything for me. Sound still came out of the front, the receiver still thought it was receiving 5.1 audio.

Changing the Windows Audio Control Panel from 5.1 to Stereo immediately had the receiver think it was receiving stereo, the 5.1 upmix turned on and sound came from everywhere. Switching back to 5.1 went back to fronts only.

This information is useful, but I have no clue how to configure the setup now. Will AC3 & DTS be affected if the Windows Audio thingy is set to stereo?

christoofar Wrote:hades,
Have you tried using Party Mode for music playback yet?

hades_2100 Wrote:I'll try it a bit later. Sorry.

So, got it working I think. Windows is set to Stereo sound, XBMC is set to Digital with AC3 & DTS capable receiver. Both AC3 & DTS are passed through, the receiver switches modes accordingly. AC3 & DTS are 5.1, stereo music/avi is upmixed by the receiver, as it should be.

DTS is still not working properly with DSPlayer, I either get no sound or the sound is warbled (like coming from underwater?). In all cases the receiver correctly recognizes that it's a DTS stream, except the sound coming through is not correct.

Thanks for the help, one problem down, about 3 more to go.

go there in mpc-hc and tell me the configuration you need to make your setup working with dts. This is the actual filter im using to configure dts stuff in the dsplayer
