No audio and video stutter DTS-MA

So, I have a problem wherein I try to play a H.264/DTS-HD Master Audio file on the new Frodo Beta 1 version of XBMC. The video shows but is extremely choppy, and there is no audio at all. My receiver seems to recognize 2.0 channel stereo at this point. If I turn off the option to send DTS-MA to my receiver, it plays perfectly fine as DTS.

My audio receiver is the Pioneer VSX-1021, which does support DTS-HD. I am hooked up to it via HDMI from a built-in Radeon HD 6310. My media center uses the AMD Fusion 350 APU.

Edit. This is what the log says:

Same issues here, choppy video and no audio playback

Make sure your Audio output settings are set correctly (System\Settings\Audio Output) ensuring all capable formats are checked (DTS MA, TrueHD, DTS, DD etc). Make sure Audio Output and Passthrough device are set to WASAPI (Should also be something there to recognise the output device).

Also disable 'Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen' (System\Settings\Video output)- unless you intend to use XBMC with an external player.

Also check your sound devices to see what windows is reporting as supported formats.

Control Panel\Sound, highlight the playback device, properties\supported formats. If the relevant HD Audio codecs are not listed, it may be that your devices have an EDID issue and are not recognising each device in the chain - see this thread for possible solution http://www.avsforum.com/t/1227161/edid-o...-ati-5xxxs

Please link a complete debug log using xbmclogs.com, or pastebin.com.

Also, many folks have problems if they're using the Realtek HD audio drivers. If you're using them, you might try using the AMD HDMI audio drivers. No one seems to have problems with playback when using that driver (in conjunction with a proper setup).

As requested my xbmc log is at <removed>

I will try using the ATI drivers since I am in fact using the Realtek HD drivers.

Did a full uninstall of the Realtek HDMI drivers and installed the AMD ones. Didn't seem to make a difference. I also disabled all other audio devices in the control panel.

DTS-HD is listed under supported formats for my current sound device.

Did you check your audio settings. The solution may be to visit the EDID thread I linked to.

@butterkitty - that's not a debug log - you will have to turn on 'debugging' from System\Settings\System\Debugging

Ahh yes, sorry. I thought I had it on already for some reason heh. I've updated the pastebin with the new log. To make things easier, I am trying to play the movie "Sunshine"

I'll take a look at that post, but I'm not sure it will help me since I checked the supported formats for my card in Windows and it did say that it supports DTS-HD.

It looks to me that you're using the Directsound AMD device in the XBMC audio settings however for HD audio bitstreaming you need to use the WASAPI AMD setting.

Also in windows Sound - Properties - Advanced check the 2 check boxes in the Exclusive Mode section are ticked.

Good post jjd, but I had already advised the OP to amend his audio settings (see post #3), which I assumed, having asked for advice, he had - obviously not.
