Dear XBMC Gurus -
first of all: thanks for what you've don! This is honest and I may live with the gift which you made us.
I'm using the XBMC PC with an AV Receiver plus a high quality TV (under Windows 7-64x) - linked through HDMI.
After having created a customized monitor.inf, I had no more problem with the Video.
BUT the Audio.
Starting XBMC selects the currently available audio output as its default. Although it was manually selected - in my case: "WASAPI: HDMI 'device name'"
When the AVR is in stand-by, it selects "DirectSound: HDM 'device name'" as its output - and that's already the best case after deactivating all other deviced manually. But DirectSound is just Stereo.
When AVR is switched OFF completely, I can't select any output device under System / Audio, it just says "Error - blahblah" as selected device.
I'd like to request that this "pseudo-intelligence" of XBMC is being able to be switched off. If I select a device, I want to have it used - whether present or not. I then won't hear anything, if it's not present, my problem, if I don't select "default".
It needn't be a problem, no matter in which order I switch on
- TV
- AVR
- PC
- or start XBMC
I'm surely not the only one... see thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=156378 for more details
Thank you in advance for caring - Chris
