So I couldn't figure out why DTS-MA wasn't working the new XBMC branch.

I can't really figure where to place this, so here it goes.

1. Powerdvd 12 using the system (win 7, 64bit, Intel HD 3000) default, plays DTS-MA perfect
2. XBMC doesn't play any hd audio streams in the new build

Finally figured out the issue.

I'm using a Onkyo HT-380 when it is the main menu, the menu makes those clicks sounds. That puts my receiver into *neo6* mode.

So it keeps running that when I goto a video with a high def audio, but if I either pause or jump forward and back a few times, then it kicks into the proper format DTS-MA

ARGH!!!!!!

I spent two weeks on this.

Just onboard video from the Intel HD 3000

And if you went into settings>appearance>skin>navigational sounds.... and changed them, would it still put you into *neo6* mode?

warwon · 2012-06-11, 02:25

Tried that it just stays in whatever mode I have the AV on at that time.

Very odd!

I'm not sure which XBMC version you installed. The released XBMC 11.0 don't support bitstreaming DTS-HD/TrueHD. Intel HD3000 should be able to bitstream DTS-HD/TrueHD with ease.....try these:

1. Install the latest Intel driver from here- Automatically identify and find drivers
2. Follow guide in this thread "Windows How to Bitstreaming using XBMC........." under SETUP....

That forum link is the one I used to get it working as it is as of now.

sorry I meant to say that's how I got working to the point where i only works if I start and restart the video a few times to get into dts-ma

Well, make sure that your Intel driver is up to date.....I know Intel works well with Realtek HD audio codecs too......you can try to install it from here- High Definition Audio Codecs, and make sure to select it in Windows 7 control panel sound/playback.....

here is the debug.

This is from start up -> movies -> genre -> war -> Tora! Tora! Tora! (dts-hd-ma) audio, it starts the video fine in the wrong sound channel, then if I flip ahead and back a few times it then streams the correctly audio.

You're using a patched build - you might want to try a nightly - from the log it's having troubles decoding that file.

warwon · 2012-06-14, 00:24

Will do, installing June 13th nightly. Also note that blu ray disc have the same issue as that file..

warwon · 2012-06-14, 00:35

basically on the new build, I can't do the trick to get the audio to work on blu ray or one of my four sample files.

So basically it gets more broken as I install new versions.

warwon · 2012-06-19, 00:07

so there was a update Intel driver the other day, no change in the playback for the audio stream.

I have to hit forward and back a few times for it to switch to the current audio.

New night builds make the matter worst as the above trick stops working.
