My internet provider offers quiet a number of internet radio stations quota free, which I play through XBMC using standard m3u and PLS playlist files for each station.
All stations use either shoutcast MP3 or windows media MMS.
Problem is whilst most radio stations play fine no problem.There are around 4 stations which fail to load with an error or load and play fine fine except I can't hear any audio at all for these stations. These problem stations use MP3 and WMA format and all have no problem playing on a standard windows based machine.
Sound setup in HTPC is:
Standard PCI-e low profile sound card using optical out to amplifier.
And custom hardware and passthrough setting. plughw:1,1
