Hello Group,
I am late arriving to the party.. but fell in love this weekend, with a woman named "Eden!!!"
Anyway, just wanted to make sure before I read all 147 pages of this thread that the most recent versions are in the 1st post of this sticky, which hasn't been updated since april.
I am currently using "xbmc 11.0 pre git: 20120228 - 4bddfbd", based on a guide, but am not sure if this is the same version of 11.0 that is posted on this page. I am most concerned with hd audio (dolby true HD and dts-ma or dts-hd) and do both versions in the 1st page provide native hd audio support?
Thank you very much for your time and responses,
jhaze

yes, this patch will provide bit-stream support of HD audio formats if that is your question.

Just out of curiosity, what are the major differences between the 2 versions posted on The First page, I'm using the Eden version and looking for the most recent stable version of this patch.

I created an account just to say thanks and amazing job.
My receiver always showed a dolby digital logo, so I always assumed things were fine. Some movies, though, would cause horrible sound at times -- as if a speaker is blown. I assumed that was the case. After installing this I now have many more DD logos appearing on my receiver, and I've played scenes I know would make my ears bleed in the past, and they sound perfect now.
I switched from Mediabrowser to XBMC last week. This was the icing on the HTPC cake.

Hello all,
First of all, thanx DanielA for all your efforts.
I recently build a brand new HTPC, dedicated for XBMC.
So I downloaded Eden v11 + HD audio and installed it. I tested with some Dolby and DTS movies and it worked fine.
But when I'm playing a DTS-HD master movie, it begins to stutter and there is no audio. There also is a warning when starting the movie: Failed to initialize audio device.
Everything is connected via HDMI to my Onkyo amplifier, type HT-R548 (part of the HT-S5405 package). It supports DTS-HD Master.
The specs of my HTPC are:
Motherboard: Asrock A75M
RAM: 2x 2GB Gskill F3-12800
APU: AMD A4-3400
HDD: Western Digital 2TB WD20EARX
Running W7 Ultimate. In the sound settings of W7 I calibrated the output to 5.1 surround.
In XBMC- audio settings I checked everything, since my receiver is capable of every format listed in there (I guess?).
As audio output device I selected WASAPI AMD HDMI output.
Note: when I go to Audio settings in XBMC and change 'receiver supports:' to something other than DTS HD Master Audio, I have no problems and the DTS or Dolby logo on my amplifier is lit. In that case movie plays fine and sound is ok.
Somebody any idea what to change?

Hello jjd/uk, thanks for your advice.
Unfortunately, this didn´t work out.
1. Done (it was already)
2. Done (it was already)
3. DTS-HD is on the list, same as TrueHD.
4. Done (it was already).
So, every movie runs fine, DTS and Dolby are working correcty. Only when starting DTS-HD it flips totally (I think it drops down to 5fps) and sound is gone.
What else could it be? :/

The only other things I can think of at the moment is to check in Settings -> Video -> Playback to see if you've "Sync playback to display" enabled and if so disable it, and perhaps check in Settings -> System -> Video Output and make sure "Use a fullscreen window rather than true fullscreen" is not enabled.
