Testing:
When testing, please check:
render method set to PS/DXVA
scaling methods DXVA/Bicubic/Lanczos3/Spline36 and their "optimized" versions.

Man, don't rush thing. I suggest revert to 0821 build which I'm perfectly fine with it.
Boost volume on downmix doesn't work on that build. Since Martijn said there were audio fixes I'm hoping it's one of them.

I rarely get good result with "Boost volume on downmix" most of the time it tends to boost too much and got clipping instead. So I end up disable it anyway.

Why is this necessary? Seems to work just fine without it.

There's a new AudioEngine in very active development....
Addons I wrote &/or maintain:
OzWeather (Australian BOM weather) | Check Previous Episode | Playback Resumer | Unpause Jumpback | XSqueezeDisplay | (Legacy - XSqueeze & XZen)
Sorry, no help w/out a *full debug log*.

Spline36 optimized and the other shaders can be selected now and work fine for me.
(audio works fine also)

Only thing with this build is that , I update my library on start up, this loading loops and doesn't actually update the library.
Probably this causes to hang XBMC on exit also.

Offtopic and has nothing to do with this build in particular

AMD A8-5500 APU with latest driver.

All works ok, but i get best results with DXVA scaler, when watch poor quality SD material.
Can't see difference with HD.

I try motogp .ts file HD and SD

Keep on with the good work. I really like that we can watch interlaced material with xbmc.

yes I noticed.
But as you told us there were just audio updates the last time ( not shaders) I thought it might help you.
It seems not to be appreciated.

I go back to the nightlies. Good luck.

short shaders-related question (didnt want to open a new thread): is it planned to add more postprocessing shaders to improve picture quality? maybe some shaders from mpc-hc like sharpen complex 2 or other?
