It looks like all audio is getting downconverted in this release. Audio output is working, and receiver is playing pro-logic, but I need to get audio passthrough working, as the downconversion is very poor quality on several videos.

Here are portions of the xbmc.log that shows settings, etc:

Judging from the code, there should have been a line:

DEBUG: SECTION:LoadDLL(special://xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer/liba52-i486-linux.so)
DEBUG: Loading: /usr/share/xbmc/system/players/dvdplayer/liba52-i486-linux.so

between "passthrough - Opening" and "passthrough - Failed". Any ideas why this isn't happening? Is this a new bug in SVN 22290?

Source video is 5.1 AC3 (even though logfile says 2 channels).

You might want to wait until the audio issue is fixed. Right now they've got something going on with Surround sound. It doesn't seem like your problem is directly related but it could be as a result.

Regardless please provide a Full Debug log and not just a small portion or snip. Pastebin is a good place to put it up on the net.

Check the Forums... its posted several times... all you can do is downgrade the svn build atm

Yes.

As you could have learned if you had entered "22290" into the "search" box at the top of the page.

DOWNGRADE TO 22278, THE LAST GOOD PPA BUILD. HTH. HAND.
