Hiya!
I recently re-installed XBMC as I managed to figure out how to get it running on W2K. Unfortunately I found out that audio passthrough fails on all non DTS -media.
The debug log is not particularly helpful on the matter, it simply states:
FactoryCodec - Audio: passthrough - Opening
FactoryCodec - Audio: passthrough - Failed
Then proceeds to go back to 2 channel output with no passthrough.
Full log: http://pastebin.com/f4e87a649
Figuring that W2K was the culprit, I booted to XP and did a fresh install - but the problem persisted!
I had a look on http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=43883 but seeing that on the DLL side, msvcr71.dll and MSVCP71.dll are in place (removing them has actually no effect), I think that the problem is not coming from that side.
My original XBMC version was 8.10 Atlantis, I tried upgrading to later SVNs but it has little effect. I'm currently using 17458-jester-ext with Media Player Classic as a workaround, but would much prefer going back the built in player.
Could someone please go through the logs and see if there is anything suspicious that'd point me in the right direction?
5.1 output works like a charm everywhere else, and doesn't have any hiccups with DTS media in XBMC either. Running XBMC on AMD Athlon XP 2800+ with W2K SP4, but the same problem occurs on XP SP3, so it seems to be specific to my system. Audio is provided by integrated NFORCE 2 chipset (CMedia) on the motherboard.
Thanks in advance!
