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...r_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/...3ef71e4bd8
https://github.com/DanielaE/xbmc/commit/...7f1e885ebb
https://github.com/DanielaE/xbmc/commit/...88cd04ffa0
https://github.com/DanielaE/xbmc/commit/...5572033905

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.

Sorry I haven't Windows.
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.

FernetMenta · 2013-08-30, 10:44

did you try with DirectSound as well?

I'm not a dev but I've looked at the logs but don't see anything obvious, however from the logs the I see you are using WASAPI, so if there is a bug here it might be with the WASAPI sink since that's what the 2 audio engines have in common.

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.

Unfortunately the problem (AVR display blinking) rests.

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

I think the interval is shorter (3-5 times per second).

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

Before XBMC starting or when XBMC is working?

**fritsch** · 2013-08-30, 22:57

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.
