RE: Testing audio engine ActiveAE - jjd-uk - 2013-08-29
Just to confirm what I said on IRC.
Using DanielaE's [WINDOWS][PATCH]Bitstream output of HD audio formats build the E-AC3 7.1 Channel Check sample works perfectly as a passthrough format with my AVR detecting it as DD+ 7.1, sorry fritsch I know you were hoping it was a duff sample.
DanielaE's source is at https://github.com/DanielaE/xbmc/commits/master_HD-Audio
From what I can see from the commit history, the E-AC3 improvements seem to be centred around these commits:
https://github.com/DanielaE/xbmc/commit/9e64b075f7490bbebbc7515fa9c86e3ef71e4bd8
https://github.com/DanielaE/xbmc/commit/0a56c49607695530b29d3f1af1823a7f1e885ebb
https://github.com/DanielaE/xbmc/commit/01a8b7bb6259992cd0c2f0ae5b8f0d88cd04ffa0
https://github.com/DanielaE/xbmc/commit/c05126eb130256fec5c5e6f519798d5572033905
No idea if that will be of help since it's the pre-AE audio core and I'm no coder, but hopefully it might at least provide some pointers in the right direction.

I checked the last build from git (13.0-ALPHA7 Git:20130829-18a4377).
The result is the same (display is blinking with about 0.5 sec period).

Checkout my aefixes2 branch and build it, please.
Here: https://github.com/fritsch/xbmc/tree/aefixes2
Make sure you have the "Streamsilence when idle" enabled.
Edit: I have sent you a PM on howto checkout aefixes2 branch and build

You've not mentioned whether you only get the problem with ActiveAE audio engine enabled? or whether you get it with the default SoftAE audio engine as well?

i did in the first post.
i have the same problem with both activeAE and softAE.
the difference between the two engines is that using activeAE, when i get the sounds corruption after i stop the movie, i also hear a cracking noise every couple of seconds.
RE: Testing audio engine ActiveAE - FernetMenta - 2013-08-30
did you try with DirectSound as well?

What do you have Speaker Configuration set to? log suggests to me it might be 5.1, this should be set to 2.0.
Try with "Boost volume level on downmix" disabled, and also definitely try with Directsound as suggested above.
The only other thing I see in the log is DXVA warnings, I don't believe that would affect audio, but since you have an i3 you don't really need hardware acceleration so try with DXVA2 disabled as well.

ignore this... i wrote something that was really stupid.

RE: Testing audio engine ActiveAE - fritsch - 2013-08-30
Did the interval change? Or blinking exactly the same interval?
This only happens in idle, right?
Does anything change, if you do:
sudo -s
echo 0 > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save
echo N > /sys/module/snd_hda_intel/parameters/power_save_controller

This only happens in idle, right? Yes. When I play music the display is not blinking.

Before XBMC starting or when XBMC is working?
RE: Testing audio engine ActiveAE - fritsch - 2013-08-30
Does not matter :-)
Try the powersaving settings first, please. I pushed another code change, so just go to the folder you checkout xbmc and do git pull, that will update, afterwarwards a make -j5 is enough.
Thanks for your help.
