Hello i've xbmc installed on a last generation Mac Mini (10.8.2) connected in Hdmi to an Integra receiver, yesterday i was running for the first time a movie with dts audio and all i could hear was a crackling noise, the weird thing is that for movies with "normal audio formats i have to put optical/coaxial as audio output in the settings to hear any sound, if i select hdmi, no sound at all

please help me

anyone?

crackling noises typically seem to be when you use the passthrough (..."capable receiver") options in Settings -> System -> Audio output. Uncheck all of those "capable receiver" options and it should stop. Basically you're hearing a raw format being pushed through, because XBMC thinks a receiver on the other side will understand it.

thanks, but will dts work this way?

Keep DTS checked, but uncheck the others.

no way still getting the noise

The only thing I can assume then is that your receiver is not correctly processing the DTS data.
