Oh yes, sorry didn't notice.

I am unable to get the audio working using a set of test files. On the AE nightly build, the video stutters badly as well. (All of these files run great on Eden and MPC-HC.) I took one of these files, and stripped out the audio, and the video-only-mkv runs fine. This indicates my problem is likely due to AE. On an earlier nightly build, I did get audio, but the audio and video stuttered constantly. Here is a consistent error I get in the debug log (I have provided a link to the full log):
18:12:23 T:352 ERROR: CAESinkWASAPI::InitializeExclusive: Unable to initialize WASAPI in exclusive mode -2147024809 - (E_INVALIDARG).

My reciever and graphics card (HD 6850) are both capable of passing through and processing the HD formats. Here's a debug log if it's any help:

I'm using the latest AMD drivers (Catalyst 12.4) and the latest nightly build.

I followed the advice at http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1120326, and this fixed my problem. In short, I uninstalled all of the drivers, and just loaded the AMD version of the driver. It was provided to AMD by RealTek, but it was modified by AMD to work with my Radeon 6450.
Have you tried the driver available from Gigabyte? If that does not work, you could try the latest driver in ATI Catalyst 12.x. That is the one that worked for me. I recommend trying that one first. This Gigabyte is using a Radeon 6xxx series chipset http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-...28&dl=1#ov, so I would bet on that audio driver. Install it from device manager under "Sound, video, and game controllers". Browse into the extracted ATI image and find the audio driver. It should be the only sound driver installed.
Good luck!

I am using Windows 7, so it could be possible that the Catalyst driver is not stable on Win 8 yet. The standard windows driver did not support all of the audio formats. Your debug log looks similar to my old one in terms of trying to interface with WASAPI.
Here are some things to check: (doing this from Win 7)
1. Open Device Manager
2. Expand Sound, video and game controllers
3. The first item is "AMD High Definition Audio Device"; the second one is disabled (intentionally) - "High Definition Audio Device"
4. If I right-click on the AMD one, and select Properties, then select Driver Tab. My version is: Advanced Micro Devices, Date 10/18/2011, Version 7.12.0.7704
5. If I selected Details Details button, the AMD driver name is AthdW76.sys. The other drivers are all Microsoft.
6. If I click Update Driver, I find the source of my driver at C:\ATI\Support\11-12_vista7_64_dd_ccc_ocl\Packages\Drivers\WDM\HDMICE\W764a; the INF is AtihdW76.inf.
If you can, try this driver or at least check the version loaded in Device Manager. It should be the only sound device you have enabled.
Then try this:
1. Right-click on the "speaker" in your taskbar, and select Playback devices
2. The only device listed should be "AMD HDMI Output"
3. Click configure, make sure the correct surround configuration is highlighted and test it. I use 7.1.
4. Select Next and all the correct speakers should be selected, click Next and Finish
5. Now click Properties and make sure that info is correct
6. Select Supported Formats tab, verify the sample rates and formats are expected
7. Select Levels tab and set it to 100%
8. Select the Enhancements tab and "Disable all enhancements"
9. Select Advance, check both Exclusive Mode boxes and test the Default Format. My Onkyo can only do 7.1 at 24b/96KHz so I had to move it from 192KHz.
Let me know what you find if you try this.
Good luck!
