Probably to the HD Audio for Windows testing thread since that appears to have superseded this work.
Guys,
I have been reluctant to move from this patch build for Eden final to a nightly, hoping that we would eventually see an 11.1 that had "official" support for HD Audio.
Anyways, I'm seeing something odd and wanted to see if anyone had any ideas or comments.
I have an HTPC with an ATI Radeon 6450 which I use to bitstream HD Audio to my AVR. I had been using a Yamaha RX-V1800 and just recently purchased and installed a brand new Onkyo 818. This new Onkyo supports HDMI 1.4, etc.
What I have observed is that, similar to the Yamaha, if I simply set the XBMC output to "match frame-rate to source" and choose the HD audio options I get correct HD bit-streaming with no dropped frames (as reported by the debug overlay in XBMC). However, what I observe with the Onkyo that I did not see with the Yamaha is that periodically I see what appears to be a "jump" or "double frame" during playback in which it seems as though the playback jerks for a fraction of a second. I don't see any frame drops so I am suspicious that this is some kind of re-sync happening with the Onkyo which I did not have with the Yamaha.
Any thoughts? Would switching to the HD Audio branch matter at all for something like this?
Thanks.
