Hi all,
I have been using XBMC for years but have suddenly come across and issue with HD content encoded with AAC 5.1 audio. I have all audio streams sent to my tv via HDMI and then sent to my Yamaha E800 DD/DTS receiver via optical. The problem I have is that my amp quickly switches between prologic and DD/AC3 on any quiet (not silent) sections on the AAC soundtrack therefore causing a stuttering effect.
Now usually I would post this on the Yamaha forum but this appears to only be happening on playback through XBMC (using 11.0 at the moment). Settings wise I have Audio Output set to optical / coax and am using the directsound AMD HDMI device driver and swapping to the WASAPI driver makes no difference. Even trying a discrete X-FI soundcard makes no changes.
Has anyone else had similar issues? (I have searched the forums and found nowt)
Ta very much
