Hello, some days ago my volume stopped working, and i wasnt able to unmute it. I was thinking it may be from when i installed a unofficial driver for the xbox one controller for windows it started happening.
When i disable gamepad input in settings i am able to turn the volume up again, and unmute XBMC, but then the sound is totaly gone, from both system and video, even though it works when not in xbmc, and my speakers is activating like its going to play something, but its still mute. Is there some setting i have missed other than mute that i need to turn on again after i disable gamepad input, or do i have to uninstall it altogether?
I have tried deleting guisettings, and restore to default in video/audio settings, but nothing helps- Running XBMC 13 alpha 2, but same results in the nightly.

You try hitting the '+' key on the keyboard a few times when playing something?

Yes ive tried that, after disabling gamepad input that is possible, but the sound wont come back,when i start up xbmc with deleted guisettings, i the volume turns down immediatly, as if i was holding the - buttons, but i dont, and also the gamepad is disconnected, i have also tried turning of both the mouse and keyboard when starting up xbmc, but still get the same issue.

Sounds like a bug that should be reported, I can cop out with 'unofficial driver ' as the issue, and point out that there is a lot of things happening behind the scenes with handshaking and drivers. Just don't know what to suggest at this point, perhaps others will chime in.

Have you been playing with the audio settings between taking the log and the screenshot as they don't tie up, in the log a the WASAPI - HDMI device is used but in your screenshots it shows the Directsound - HDMI device in use?

I take it there was no difference between WASAPI and Directsound then?

Have you got Stereo Upmix enabled? if so try with it disabled.

Correct, no difference between directsound, wasapi, stereo upmix enabled or disabled. The sound i get when i start up xbmc after deleting guisettings is only so i can make it play some systemsounds, then like if something is holding down the volume down (- button) so the sysstemsounds gets lower and lower and pretty quickly turns completely off, like when you hold the -, even thought i have tried disconnecting every input immediatly after clicking xbmc.exe and it loads up.
