After installing this build I'm unable to hear the movie sound (menu sound plays fine) and video stops playing after 5 seconds or so. Playback is paused and I can't restart playback.
I have 2 options for audio output device, Direct Sound and WASAPI. When set to Direct my receiver displays 7.1 ch active, and only 2 ch in WASAPI.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Nimo - think I see the issue - I'll do a bit of work on it and post here when a fix or test patch is ready.
System: XBMC HTPC with HDMI WASAPI & AudioEngine - Denon AVR-3808CI - Denon DVD-5900 Universal Player - Denon DCM-27 CD-Changer
- Sony BDP-S580 Blu-Ray - X-Box 360 - Android tablet wireless remote - 7.1 Streem/Axiom/Velodyne Surround System
If I have been able to help feel free to add to my reputation +/- below - thanks!

ReplayGain is now fully functional again and in master/nightlies. You'll see the new GUI settings in Settings>Music>Playback.
Changes are applied to the next track, so are not immediate. Be careful not use Pre-Amp settings too far from the default of 89dB unless you are really sure - those values are in decibels, so each 6dB doubles the volume, and excessive volume will cause clipping. You can enable avoid clipping to prevent this if your files are correctly scanned/tagged for peak values.
Enjoy!

i will test it. and will it also fix the wake issue? i mean when i wake the pc and start playing music i hear nothing. when i press stop i get an error, when i go to system/audio and change device then i get no error. looks at my avr like reinitialize issue in wasapi because avr switch from 2ch to 5.1ch. anyway, I'll test it tomorrow and give feedback.
cheers

OK well if your going by the 1st log I posted the reason for the DTS was XBMC picked the DTS track by default for that movie and when I tried to select the FLAC it would skip frames alot then crash. The 2nd log I posted was with another movie that has 6.1 FLAC that gives me the same issue difference is XBMC picked the FLAC track by default and XBMC was set to use WASAPI, again skips frames like mad then crashes.
I'll see what I can do about getting a small clip from each movie, might take me a few days until I get my main rig with all my utilities back up and running.

Hi DDDamian,
Are feature requests being taken for AE yet?

I've only had a quick play with a nightly including AE, so am I correct in thinking that the Output Stereo To All Speakers applies to both Music & Video audio tracks, if so would it be possible to have it selectable for Music & Videos, something like:
Output Stereo To All Speakers: \/ /\ Off/Music Only/Video Only/Music & Video
Reasoning is that with music I like to be enveloped by the sound coming from all around like you would get at a nightclub, so having stereo upmixed for output by all channels would be great, however I would find that behaviour disconcerting with dialogue in a movie audio track, so for video audio tracks I wouldn't want a stereo track to be upmixed to all channels & would instead prefer the audio remained stereo (or apply pro-logic in amp).
