It runs Will do some HD audio tests a bit later and let you know.

Tried audiphile mode as well and 50 and 100 buffer sizes. Didn't help.
Hope it's helpful. If you need more info, let me know.

I tried shared, excluse and audiophile mode... all good. Shared mode basically does the same thing DX does, it downsampled my stuff to the frequency that's fixed in Windows 7 audio properties for the audio device. Peter Gabriel Play and the 2011 Jethro Tull - Aqualung in 96/24 DTS are glorious! "Sync to Display" also seems to work nicely, just re-watched some major disasters in "2012" in DTS, too
HAPPY!
As that other guy said, the only thing missing right now is WAVDTS.
Thanks gnif and DDDamian!
(2012-04-06, 20:49)DDDamian Wrote: Only DTS-MA? That would be a vital clue. One other thing - the pvrplayback spam bug seems to have happened as a result of some previously-installed build of the Aeon skin - try removing that skin and look for any signs of those entries in your log. If need be do a fresh install, removing any skin directories from your user folder as well. This bug is not part of AE, but can affect playback. Try eliminate it first.
Just an explanation - audiophile mode affects only music playback - it prevents XBMC from donwsampling or reducing channels and staying true to the original source, but also means you cannot cross-fade songs - that would require downsampling to work.
Keep me posted please - seems just some are having trouble with the switch issue.
(2012-04-05, 22:29)DDDamian Wrote: Okay - new build up. Direct link XBMC-AE-20120406.zip or link from first post and check newest date.
Changelog:
- use old-style WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE structure for backwards compatibility
- use WAVE_FORMAT_DOLBY_AC3_SPDIF format for backwards compatibility
- fix DTS breakage - works on my setup with DTS, DTS-HD (24/96) and DTS-MA
- fix double sink opening for quicker skip/seek and hopefully no receiver switching from encoded->pcm
- fix buffer sizing in CSoftAEStream
- add dynamic Stereo to All Channels upmix for stereo music/videos
- fix crash on deselecting MultiChannelLPCM capable receiver button
- a few other invisible tweaks
Tested on just about all formats on my setup:
Win 7 x64 Premium
ATI HD6450 GPU
Catalyst drivers 12.1 w/AMD High Definition Device Driver 7.12.0.7705 12/06/2011
HDMI to Denon 3808CI
Tested: AC3 2.0/5.1, DTS 5.1, DTS-HD 24/96, DTS-MA, AAC, TrueHD, mp3 video soundtracks
Tested: mp3, FLAC stereo and m/c from 2.0 16/44.1 to 5.1 24/96
I am using WASAPI, exclusive mode, HDMI, 7.1 channels. Just about any video settings have worked fine.
Note: please start with your audio buffer size around 50msec - I set the default a bit high and found it can overrun buffers on high-bitrate audio - I'll fix that in the next build. For now just go to the Audio Output settings page and reduce it to 50msec to start, higher only if required.
As always, full debug logs with any issue - all feedback, good and bad is welcome!

Guess what... crashed at changing to optical/digital

The rest plays fine except those nasty DTS movies like last time. Still the choppy sound

Hey Martijn - did a little research. It seems the Creative drivers lack support for WASAPI event-driven call-back mode, which is one of the primary differences in how AE outputs audio in Win vs master.
This driver is 2.18.0015 dated June 16 2010 - if it is later than yours give it a whirl - hopefully they've fixed it for the X-FI series as they recently have for the Audigy series.
