I have tried to play the movies with other players and VLC WILL play the movies i find on NAVIX STREAMS THAT HAVE dts or dolby digital all my movies that have it work fine but I cant get them to play with default xbmc player. i have it setup as dolby digital ac checked and dts is checked under setting have also tried only one checked whatever files im playing I have some DTS STAR TREK AND they play find and spdif works with an external player but i wanted to get xbmc to play them so i can play all the movies without having to shutdown and download them and have them play externally everytime i want to see something in dts or dolby digtial here is my log file


Ive seen a52 codec work with other players then I get a dts or dolby digital light how to I add A52 codec into XBMC for all dolby digital and dts movies
How do I implement that a52 codec into xbmc when it plays a dolby digital 5.1 or dts how could I get it to enable a52 codec wave32 like it does in my external player vlc ..


I get the dreaded 'failed to initialize audio device' error.


Im running soundblaster audigy and a yamaha rx-v363

Oh my 2 channel aac 2.0 movies work fine i get 2 channel stereo sound but if i choose a movie in DTS OR DOLBY DIGITAL I get failed to intialize audio device.

[DDDamian]

From the log snippet that looks like Eden - have you tried a Frodo RC version?

[Packard93]

yes no luck

---

Im looking for a solution im running xp pro and i got dts and dolby digital reciever and it lights up when i play back in vlc if i go to setting and select a52
but no luck with xbmc eden or frodo is there any way to code it to get a52 codec

[baijuxavior]

Check if the soundblaster supports passthrough of DTS and Dolby Digital. Upgrading to a HDMI GPU is recommended.

[Packard93]

yes i have the option set for spdif passthrough on my soundblaster and so far i found only one media play that plays sound correctly . vlc does it fine after i select a/52 and when i select a dts star trek i get the dts light on my reciever and plays perfectly so does all the dolby digital lights up ok on reciever So howw do i enable an a/52 codec into xbmc is there someway to get xbmc to filter audio throught that codec to passthrough all dts and dolby digtial using

VLC Shows w32 waveout extension and i put check in the spdif passthrough and it works for all my dolby digital and dts > >Lights come on reciever for when dolby digital plays and the dts formats work fine in the vlc anyone know much about this . Im ok with adding or editing any but im not a programmer.
