I am playing with XBMC for couple of days and liking it.
Most of my video are in H.264 format and when playing thru XBMC interface the volume is muffled even at the highest setting! FYI, when I play it thru GBPVR the sound is perfect.
Is there some setting in XBMC I should massage?

I have the same problem with playing xvids on the windows platform. The volume is 10x louder when playing using MPC.

Yes, could you guys press the 'o' letter on your keyboard when playing a movie and read on the left corner what type of audio codec is used ?

While playing h.264 pressing 'o' gave me this (volume way down):
D (Audio:ac3, 48000 Hz, 5:1, 448 kb/s), P(aq:99%, cpu:0%, bitrate:440.904 KBits/s)
D(Video:h264,yuv420p,688x368) blah blah
While play xvid pressing 'o' gave me this (volume is fine):
D(Audio:mp3,44100 Hz,stereo,128kb/s), P(aq:99%,cpu:.....)
D(Video:mpeg4,yuv420p,512x272....

OK, Pressing "o" and trying with different movies the "problem" is with this kind:
Video : H264
Audio: AC3
Now we know that it is only AC3 ( thought that already ), AC3 is decoded via liba52 but the plan for the future is to drop support for liba52 and switch with decoding to ffmpeg, its a new feature for this codec type and we will look and test how major it is. This issue is already adressed, please stay patient and keep an eye on updates.
