it'll never harm dharma 10.1 by backup it as follow:

1. before launching pre-eden, rename both dharma 10.1 in program files and roaming folders to xbmc_dharma 10.1. you can move xbmc_hd_audio to the same program files folder as xbmc_dharma, and rename xbmc_hd_audio to xbmc. it'll become your main launcher. i enclosed the folders below.
2. you can create xbmc folder on the desktop and create shortcut for both program files and foaming folders. you can move it to xbmc folder on the desktop for easy access.

ptaylor999 Wrote:Thanks for the response, Blu. I believe I WILL give it a try tomorrow. So, if I understand you corrrectly, by renaming both the current program directory XBMC folder as well as the roaming directory of XBMC Dharma, and then installing your hd_audio version - I'll essentially have 2 versions of XBMC that I can run separately? And without one stepping on the other's toes? Is that correct?

Schwiing Wrote:UPDATE AGAIN:

This goes for anyone else with this issue. I had no stereo sound, no GUI sound in the menu, and no music sound, but 7.1 sound worked. The solution was odd:

1) Add a TV show (or any stereo video source)
2) Play the TV show
3) Hit OK, go into audio settings and drag the slider with a mouse from 0.0dB to 1.0dB. Now you have sound in the TV show
4) go back to the menu. You have GUI sound, and Music.
5) Weird!!! Enjoy.

First like to thank Blu for all of his works in helping to put this guide together. This build works great for movies but, I have the Music problem that others have been having. I cannot seem to follow the above directions, because the volume setting under the audio options is greyed-out and I cannot interact with it. Has anyone else been able to find a workaround?

I have another question - do you have any insight into the performance difference between the E350 route (which i currently have) and a i3 2100 3.1Ghz?

What about heat between the i3 and E350?

Power draw difference?

Would I need a LP CPU cooler for the i3 or would the stock fit in the MI-008 case?

Thanks again for your help!

ptaylor999 Wrote:I downloaded your stuff and tried to launch from programs_x86 directory. Didn't work. I'm getting this error:

"The program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem."

Any ideas?

deneven Wrote:Hi, followed your instructions, everything went fine, perfect picture and full HD audio passthrough

However, a bit of a strange one:

Movies (3D BD iso's) play fine for approx 2-3 mins then pause and start playing from the beginning again!

Any ideas?

I'm using i5 sandybridge, 4GB ram, HD 5770 gpu and Onkyo 3007
