Hi, I dont think this is an OpenElec problem so posting in here.
I am running XBMC (12.0-RC3 Git:c47e925), Platform: Linux (OpenELEC - Version: 2.99.1, 3.6.11 x86_64). Built on Jan 3 2013 on a Zotac ION System.
Audio, as in mp3s for example, works very well via SPDIF or HDMI. Sound quality is perfect.
The audio quality of videos, VDR live TV or VDR recordings is very poor (XVDR). Its hard to explain what the problem is, sometimes it sounds like echo, voices are clear but background applause is terrible and fades in and out. I have checked the VDR recordings using ProjectX and they are error free. I tried all the options on the "sync audio to video setting". If I select the .mp2 audio track on a VDR recording then the sound is much better than with the .ac3 track but still far worse than an .mp3.
As I said I believe that the audio output device settings etc. are OK as mp3s are very good.
I am connecting to a Denon Amp via SPDIF and a converter to cinch (no support of DTS etc. so only PCM output is supported via SPDIF), but outputing audio over HDMI to my Samsung TV gives me exactly the same audio problems.
I assume its some setting that is incorrect as I am pretty new to XBMC, but can't seem to find the correct one.
BTW. The sound is really really bad, I'm not being a Hi-Fi but here.
Thanks in advance.
