First of all I really liked to upgrade to version 10. Especially the implementation of add-ons.
But I've now a problem with playing DTS wav files. They are now being transcoded to PCM stereo. In a previous version (9.x) DTS wav files were bitstreamed over the SPDIF output to my surround receiver.
Setup: Acer A150 netbook, running on XP. An external USB soundcard with SPDIF interface.
I adapted Playercorefactory.xml so DVDPlayer is being used as default instead of PAPplayer. Also I created an advancedsettings.xml file to force DVDPlayer not to decode DTS streams.
In the audio hardware settings I can only choose Directsound output (USB, Realtek, Primary etc..). In the older version I though there were more options available.
Playing the DTS files with windows media player and SPDIFER installed outputs bitstreams the my receiver correctly.
I've also upgraded XBMC on a second PC and there I only have correct DTS output when set the audio hardware setting to WASAPI (PC runs on windows 7). On this PC I also adapted playercorefactory.xml and added advancedsettings.xml.
Any suggestions how I can play DTS wav files correctly with XMBC version 10 on my netbook with windows XP?
How can I check if XMBC has loaded advancedsettings.xml correctly?
