dado483 Wrote:Hi All,

i've bought a Zotac Zone GT430 for test the new HD passthrogh functionality on XBMC, but i've some problems and i hope you can help me.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 with the latest snapshot alsa drivers (taken from here http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tiwai/snapshot/). I've tested the bitstreaming functionality outside XBMC as indicated on http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=157347, and all works good, my Onkyo TX-SR308 recognize correctly both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD tracks.

Now there are the problems using XBMC Blush :

- If i use the PVR XBMC trunk (this trunk don't have the new Audio Engine on board), audio works good, both for stereo and Dolby/DTS audio tracks
- If i use the new AE branch, i cannot hear any audio. When i play any video, it is played 2x or 3x faster and i've no audio on my speakers

My audio device is on hw:1,9 and i set up it in the Audio settings of XBMC (the same settings works on the PVR branch).

May be i'm wrong on something.......
I Hope someone can help me.......

Thanks and Goodnight!
Davide

i think you should just wait until things are more stable

@EMK0 - I dont, we need debug reports to track down these issues before the code is merged into master.

@dado483 - Can you please post your log.

ArtVandelae, this version don´t work for me, in special, volume control in music, music start ok (audio is down), press + result in nothing, the volume bar don´t appears, and start mp3 movies crash my xbmc, running in win7 64 bits, only the previous versions work fine for me. Oo

Mine doesn't crash when playing movies with mp3 sound but the audio sounds all distorted. This is via HDMI on GT440 in win 7 64bit. Other audio formats & xbmc navigation sounds seem to work fine.

Audio setup as exclusive mode. Will need to check if miss match between xbmc & win speaker setup (assuming it matters). Also will check if changing number of speakers on xbmc to stereo (ie as encoded in mp3) makes a difference.

I tested again the last version, and now work fine, i don´t change nothing, only reboot my computer, with receiver ON, running xbmc and no more errors. Nod

Mp3 audio definitely doesn't work for me in audio engine and reboot didn't help just comes out garbled. Tried changing bit rate and speaker configuration in windows audio setting etc but the didn't make a difference. Changing the audio settings in xbmc so that it sends mp3 as DD instead lpcm doesn't make a difference either. Still comes out garbled. Using 10.1 stable version everything is fine.

Alright, new test build. There was a tiny unsigned int wrapping bug in the stream code that took forever to track down because when it occurred the whole playback pipeline would get backed up and cause buffer overflows and error messages everywhere but where the problem actually was. The good news is that the resampler should now work perfectly. I've tried several clips that used to crash and they all work perfectly.

Hi ArtVandelae,

Cool, that fixed my crash with 1ch aac files (iphone recordings)!

Bring on DTS-HD guys! Wink
