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:

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.

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.

Yeah I saw that, I'm no expert in log reading but it looks to me that Directshow is being initialised when playback starts, the WASAPI device in log seems to me to be reporting the correct capabilities so I don't think it's an EDID issue, but I'll freely admit I'm a amateur in log reading.

Changing up my audio settings did the trick, playback is smooth as butter now. Thanks for the help!

Yeah those 'car rear ends' really get in the way lol. Glad you got your xbmc problem solved.
