HELLO

  Use smooth 07.07.2012, the following versions are giving me problems reading multichannel FLAC (blocks) and to read films in DTS HD (I get no sound)

can a d525 with ion read dts-hd?

Quote: m_dataFormats : AE_FMT_EAC3,AE_FMT_DTS,AE_FMT_AC3,AE_FMT_S24NE4,AE_FMT_S24LE4,AE_FMT_S24BE4,AE_F​MT_S16NE,AE_FMT_S16LE,AE_FMT_S16BE,AE_FMT_LPCM

Was watching destination truth, and XBMC spazzed out, video froze sound still playing. Hit stop then the sound just kept going off then on then off then on etc. Had to end task.

And surprise surprise the thing that is still broken seems to be the cause - CDVDPlayerAudio:: Discontinuity

Full log here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1102460/

I previously posted that AE cannot input my 24-bit--only DAC in WASAPI mode. Here is a different but related problem: when playing a 24-bit source in WASAPI mode with a 16/24 bit DAC (ESI Audiotrak Dr. DAC nano), AE does play the audio, but downscales it to 16 bits :-(

The cause seems to the same as with the failure to feed my 24-bit-only DAC: AE detects that hte DAC supports "AE_FMT_S24NE3" (not AE_FMT_S24NE4), but then tries to feed the DAC with "AE_FMT_S24NE4" instead, so it doesn't work. It then uses AE_FMT_S16NE, i.e. downscales my 24-bit source to 16 bits.

Here is the debug log :

No, the D525 does not read DTS HD, but XBMC reads in normal DTS, since the program setup i disable the receiver DTS HD capacity, at least until the release on 08/07/2012 in WASAPI, but starting with version 13 / 07/2012 does not sound neither in WASAPI or DirectSound

PAP player continue broken in wasapi mode, no audio in music, DTS-HD fixed today for Wasapi, direct have troubles yet..

For me, this is critical b/c I have an autohotkey script that changes the Windows output from digital to analog or visa versa. I use analog mode to feed music to a multi-zone audio distribution system, and digital when I want to watch a movie.

I tried using profiles in the past to control audio output, but that various negatives. If there is no default audio output anymore, I ask if there is a way to switch audio outputs through a keymap function. Even better would be discrete outputs for music vs. movies, but I know that's a much bigger suggestion.

I'm wondering this as well.

So is the AE dev still MIA? and why is there only one person working on this? the engine is still broken. For some videos, AE is incapable of outputting audio without the video juddering about. The only way to get these videos to play correctly is if I set to direct sound, and disable all of the options like dolby capable receiver etc. But then obviously I don't get 5.1 audio.

The only format it is not having problems with is DTS,just about all of my movies hd and all have dts audio, and they all play fine.

Dolby suffers from slowdowns, and even an video that has mono audio. An interesting example is evangelion: the ogg vorbis stereo eng audio, video plays fine. But on 5.1 HE-AAC it is choppy.

Tried to be helpful as I can with details, logs etc but it seems I'm just waving my dick in the wind here.


Edit: AAC defiantly not working as it should.

bear in mind no dev is paid for this; sometimes real life needs attention
