[PATCH] Dual Audio Output support for XBMC (Eden Updated)

hey all,

I am having a hell of a time getting this patched version to work... I am running Win7 x64, ATI Radeon 6xxx HDMI and an analog soundcard (I have treid both a Juli@ and Realtek onboard AC97 sound)...

I get sound out by HDMI but I cant get any sound using Analog by itself, I have to fire up the first zone connected to HDMI then sound comes out analog outputs for Zone 2, if I have zone 1 turned off, then nothing comes out Zone 2. I have tried using both Eden and Dharma with the respective patches on clean installs...is this normal? If so this kills my other zone if they both need to be going just to get sonud out the analog...

Like others I need this patch because I am using one XBMC for two different zones and my Onkyo only accepts analog inputs for Zone 2.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

So for some additional troubleshooting I decided to unhook HDMI and replace it with optical out. In Zone 1 with optical I get stuttering when I have output 2 enabled. If I set it to disabled everything is great.

I'm at a loss...

This is the log file I get when i have outut 1 set to Optical and outut 2 set to Analog

Figured it out!!!

After 2 days of troubleshooting ...

Both devices under windows bust be set at the same output frequency. in this case my analog output was set at 2Ch 16bit 44.1Khz and the Optical was set at 2Ch 16bit 48khz ... when I set these eual it resolved my issue...

For now I'll give up on HDMI and just use optical!

What is the difference between the Mod and 11.0 Eden patch?

I have the Eden one installed and it is giving me trouble;

So I close xbmc turn on other setup with surround and turn volume way down then turn on xbmc and hit play and it plays in the bedroom. But as soon as I turn off the living room surround connection it cuts the bedroom audio! It worked good before Eden xbmc 11.0... It worked with both setups on or just one and that was with Eden rc2.

Anyone?

Thats basically what it was doing with HDMI for Zone 1 in my house... Zone 2 is 2Ch analog in my bedroom and I wouldnt get any sound without turning on Zone 1 HDMI.

This won't likely happen as AE is rolling towards GIT master...
But AFAIK such a feature will there be implemented

I didn't read... Sorry

Hi,

i'm pretty new to XBMC. I just installed your patch, but now experience a bad studder during playback. This just happened after i installed it. Did anybody else experience this?

Cheers
