Full Version: Occasional static with ac3 audio
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
My issue is that some videos encoded with AC3 audio outputs staticy and distorted audio. It does not happen on EVERY AC3 encoded file, just some.

I've seen many a post about this and I know it was an issue a few iOS versions ago. I've made the recommended settings changes:

Audio Ouput: 16 bit
Dolby Digital: Yes please
HDMI out for video and audio to my receiver with HDMI passthrough to my TV V.
I also have the DTS and AC3 settings checked in XBMC.

I'm using he default skin, jailbroke with season pass and I'm running iOS 4.3.5 I believe... I think it's the latest.

In all fairness, I haven't tried to play the file from a computer so it's possible that it's just a bad rip.

Is this still a known issue though? Any other settings I can change? Is it possible I just have a bad rip?

I've had no problems whatsoever with DTS audio.

Thanks,
Justin
No one else is having this issue?

Btw, I tried the optical audio output with the same results. And the video in question plays fine on my MacBook pro, although I guess the audio is downmixed to stereo? So that may not be comparable.
