That must have been a quick weekend - glad you got reacquainted with your family, not forgetting the dog.

Are you having or have you witnessed any audio sync issues, with the latest nightlies - I personally haven't and it seems to have cured all my sync issues - but there are others - torcar here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=80247&page=21 for example, who claim that it hasn't.

It was a nice mental-health break lol - thx Smile

Most of the feedback I've received (even before the merge) was that the issue appears resolved for the users who've commented on it. I have followed torcar's issue for a while, and it seems to be the anomoly so far, but ofc welcome more feedback on this. As AE was a complete re-write of the audio engine (as opposed to patches or fixes) it's impossible to point at a piece of code and say for sure it was a potential cause or fix, and the changes to DVDPlayer, unlike PAPlayer which was totally re-written, we minimal. Just enough to use the new engine. Would be nice to get more feedback on this - from both those who see an improvement and those who don't.

DDDamian, didn't see this thread until I posted in the developer thread--I'll repost the issues with WASAPI / cpu reinitialization:

When I shutdown the receiver the computer is attached to i get 30% cpu usage (where i'd hope for idle) and this in the logs:

AUDCLNT_E_DEVICE_INVALIDATED
repeated (xxx times) - millions, hundreds of thousands.

Code:

it's not debug, but I'd be happy to get you a debug log if it helps--

@jayhawk - yikes - okay, I'll take care of that issue. Thx - won't need anything else for that one - very straightforward.

Ok, i'm going here.

- Enable VIA in BIOS.
- Start XBMC, enable debug log, select Wasapi VIA in audio device.
Log is here.
- Close XBMC
- Start XBMC, start a multichannel FLAC. Stop, exit, get the log.
Log is here.
- Select VSX-921 at default audio device in Windows.
- Start XBMC, select Wasapi VSX-921 in audio device.
Log is here.
- Close XBMC
- Start XBMC, start a multichannel FLAC. Stop, exit, get the log.
Log is here.

And now... audio is working... No more problem VIA vs nVidia !!!
I don't understand, as i've checked twice next time...
Well... it means no issue, problem closed.

Nevertheless, the logs show interesting things : The problem of 2 channels occurs only during enumerate of devices. When asked for a specific format when file is played, the answer is positive.

I've checked more properly on my receiver, the file with DTS-HD MA audio is indeed labeled DST-HD MA on my receiver, so test Ok for it.

@jpsdr - I think you just didn't have the VIA device selected when all this started!

If I read things right here, every device and every format is working, correct?

Pfff.. i hate this waste of time, more for you than for me, for a non existant issue.
I still have to check this FLAC 2.0 file. It plays fine on MPC-HC on my standard PC, also on my Popcorn C-200, so i doubt there is some big broken audio issue.
I'll still have to do the following tests, still with the untouched file :
- XBMC just before AE merge on my PC for video.
- My actual build of XBMC (the same used on my PC for video) on my standard PC.
After this, i'll be able to pinpoint more precisely where fault is.
And after, try remux.

@jpsdr - no I answered the question - your receiver supports AAC per the avsforums official thread.

Now, answer mine, except for that one FLAC 2.0 soundtrack, everything's working?
