fritsch, I do see what you're saying, but when i look at logs after i do my "fake switch user" fix, then the following exists for the wasapi device enumeration for my SONY-AVAMP:
I'm open to trying different drivers or whatever is needed. I have my HDMI cable connected to a display port adapter on my Nvidia Quadro 2000 card. So, correct me if i'm wrong, but I only should have to install the Nvidia drivers and then this should work correct? Do i need to still bother with my motherboard audio drivers which i don't use?
Like i said earlier in this thread, this was all working great on Windows 10 1703. However, since i was using 1703, i have gone through a full computer reset (windows method of a simple clean install) in order to fix some other chipset issues preventing me from being able to use all my PCIe slots. So, I can't fully rule out that other things have not changed as well, but the biggest difference is that i upgraded to 1709. So, i'm really close to re-installing my entire OS and everything back to 1703, but that is a lot of work, and I would prefer to get this working on the latest version if possible (as i'm sure you may be interested in ensuring the Kodi system is stable on 1709 as well) if this is something that can be fixed.
Also, given the above logs after no configuration changes in windows or kodi, and by simply initiating a switch user and just going back to the same user, this seems to be something else at play. Like i said as well, before i do the switch user trick, i am able to get audio to work through windows alone but Kodi doesn't play any audio. I understand that windows may be using some other "method" to play the audio through the speakers, but i don't even get simple stereo sound from the Kodi UI when this issue happens.
I have also tried playing with the timing of launching kodi as well. Right now i have a delay after i send the power on command to the PC. It waits 10 seconds, initiates the Video card driver reset, waits another 4 seconds, then launches the kodi.exe. So, this results in me seeing my windows 10 desktop for 2-3 seconds after a cold start of the TV and receiver before kodi gets launched or i see the kodi window. So, i've also tried waiting 30 seconds or more before launching kodi but that has not helped the issue in the past, so it doesn't seem to be a timing issue any more than i've already adjusted.
So, please let me know what you mean be audio drivers that need to be installed correctly if i'm using HDMI from my video card and if there is anything else i can try before re-installing 1703, please let me know. Thanks.
Quote:19:53:40.675 T:9268 NOTICE: Device 4The above is a direct snippet from my original log from the 2nd enumeration of the audio devices. Note: this was while kodi was still running, and i just did my "switch user fix" and got audio back. However, most of the time now, i have to close kodi (ensure the process is not still running), then do the switch user fix and launch kodi again. Then i get the same enumeration of audio devices in the logs.
