Hello folks, I am a long time user of MPC-HC and I decided I wanted to dive into the world of GUI based media center applications. I used to use XBMC way back in the day on my original modded Xbox and loved it, so I thought I'd give it a go. My set up is as follows:
Windows 7 x64
RadeonHD 6950 w/ Catalyst 12.10
Onkyo TX-NR509 AVR
I am connected to the AVR via HDMI. My problem is that I cannot get Dolby trueHD or DTS-HD MA to bitstream. I am able to achieve perfect bitstreaming using MPC-HC with the ffdshow audio decoder so I know my hardware is capable, it's just a matter of getting XBMC to do so. My audio settings in XBMC have HDMI selected, speakers set to 5.1, all settings for Dolby/DTS capable receiver ticked, and passthrough output device is set to WASAPI HDMI. With the WASAPI HDMI setting, I am unable to get any audio at all during playback (even regular DD5.1/DTS tracks). If I set passthrough output device to DirectSound HDMI, I get DD5.1/DTS playback but trueHD and DTS-HD do not play and the video stutters badly. I've tried every combo of settings in the XBMC audio settings but I can't get it to work.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this isn't working?
