first let me say thx for the new nightly v7 patch. I love the nightly rls the database is so much faster.

But in your windows exe for the master must be an error. With version 10.0 all is fine for me, but with the new exe i become only stereo sound on spdif and hdmi simultaneously. Here my settings under 10.0:

Optic/Coax
2.0
downmix yes
AC3 no
DTS no
Audio DEvice: DirectSound Nvidia HDMI Out

Optic/Coax
5.1
downmix yes
AC3 yes
DTS yes
Audio Device WASAPI S/PDIF

With this settings all is fine under the 10.0 i hear 2.0 sound over the hdmi to my tv and AC3 and DTS over spdif to my av-reiceiver.

The same settings under the master and i hear only stero to the s/pdif device no ac3 and dts.

Could you pls check this ? And pls pls pls release the exe for the master from 7.3. The database is so much better then in 10.0 and 10.1

Thx

@xhbl: Thank you for this amazing patch (I registered on this forum just for this).
I tried it with 2 sound cards (both at analog 7.1) and seems to work fine.

I'd just like to add that this works amazing with this:

I now have my 7.1 surround, and a secondary portable audio output so I can listen to music in the Garden / anywhere, all controlled with the official Android Remote. Sweet.

It is much more elegant than using Virtual Audio Cable.

Thank you!!! Great patch.

It will be included in official trunk?

- erhnam - 2011-04-05 11:54

Will this also work under OSX?

- rudeboyx - 2011-04-05 13:21

Cheers for the 10.01 update. I'll be trying it tonight and I'll let you know if I have any issues

Thanks again for the time and effort put into this.

Don't see why not. All it really does is make a second output path and dump to it. So as long as you have 2 places to put sound in OS X, it should work.

Nope. It never will be.

thanks,

Nope. It never will be.

Maybe it can be approved and inserted in nightly build, making this patch an hidden and advanced setting, configurable via Advancedsettings.xml.
If i've understood well, the problem is the GUI that will get too bloated.

Is there anyway of adjusting the timing between outputs. I'm using the new 10.01 patch.

Output 1 - Optical/Coaxial 5.1
Output 2 - HDMI 2.0

when playing music its terrible, as the music has a bad echo/double beat.
When playing movies it sound like an underwater effect due to the timing.

For movies its not to bad as I run it all from the Optical/Coaxial 5.1. However, for music when I have parties, I switch my amp to 2 additional speakers in the kitchen whilst keeping the surround/center in the lounge. now I want to use the TV/HDMI output for front left and right in the lounge but as pointed out, there is a bad echo/doublebeat due to the timing. Is there anything I can do?

Thanks
