Maybe something has changed with AE audio system. I have DTS flacs music that my receiver played with no problem, but with 909 I only ear static sound when I play those files. The volume in Kodi is at max.

Sorry, no logs availables at this moment.

Thanks.

PR10440 would be the most likely cause in #0909. Please confirm that your files play normally in #0908, but are broken in #0909. Are you able to provide a sample file (or link to a sample file)?

Thanks, Milhouse.

Version #0908 does not play the DTS flac encoded music, but I went back to #0907 and that version did play it correctly.

This is the file that I used for test: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1hx8qB...sp=sharing

Thanks for your work.

Please also post a Debug Log - the commit identifed does absolutely nothing for DTS, it changes the AC3Syncer method. So - do you use transcoding?

Edit: A working one and a non working one, please. I just tried to get it running on my systems and with no version I get our PT parser involved (with or without the patch you assumed) - so I really wonder how that worked before.

Whatever is in there it's certainly not standard. I get the same noise with mpv/vlc/mplayer and totem - I heavily doubt it ever worked.

I did test that too and it didn't work either - do you need a debug log from that case?

I'm just testing your file with a Revo3700 (ION2) and #0910, and it's playing DTS (passthrough enabled) without a problem, streaming over smb://.

Can you describe your Kodi client hardware? In addition tot the AE changes in #0908, there is the amdgpu driver update so if your GPU is AMD-based perhaps the updated driver has buggered it.

No it doesn't appear to be logging anything useful, I had sort of hoped there might be a database error but that's not visible. I'll have a play later but so far I'm not able to reproduce.

No shit? For me it does not work neither on any sw player I have nor does kodi's passthrough code is ever called :-(

Edit: What happens on your NUC if you disable passthrough?

Yes, it's playing into my Onkyo TX-NR828 via HDMI. I dropped the FLAC file amongst my music files, navigated to it using Music > Files, and it's playing. Not entirely sure what Kodi thinks it's playing as I have no codec info, but here's the debug log. My amp says it's paying DTS, and it sounds OK (if you like the Carpenters).

Edit: So apparently this flac file is a DTS-encoded audio stream with WAV (PCM) headers - Kodi thinks it's playing a WAV, the AVR "sees" a DTS stream (as long as the volume is at 100% in Kodi, otherwise the bits sent from Kodi to the amp are totally decimated and the amp "sees" garbage). This file plays as a DTS on my ION2 with #0910, but the file produces static on the Skylake NUC with #0908+. PR10435 is the cause of the breakage on the NUC - reverting this restores DTS-as-a-WAV playback. Presumably with PR10435, the audio stream sent by the NUC from Kodi to the amp is no longer bit-perfect.

See: ffmpeg detects 44.1 khz stereo s16 - it has no idea about that being DTS - so if your AVR "likes" it it works. The moment Audio Engine uses 32 bit format for it -> forget it.

@Milhouse:

Pure luck:

Your AVR interprets it from the 32 bit format ... funny.

@OP: Is there any player (not kodi) that can play this file?

Milhouse,

This is a debug log with #0910 http://sprunge.us/VZIK

Thanks for your help and work.

Edit: It plays correctly with #0907.

Thanks, we know what the issue is now. We need to avoid setting swr_set_compensation when playing music, as this makes bit-perfect output impossible, which is highly desirable when playing music (not so much with video etc., when syncing audio with video is usually more important). I'm sure there'll be a fix soon.

FYI It plays fine with Foobar with the dts component installed and indicates a 6-ch file format.
