Hi,
Up until recently I have been running an old patch of Eden, for reasons of vc-1 digital plus support. But I have just built myself a new htpc and decided to go with the latest nightly. All is fine apart from one thing. I have ripped all of the LOTR end credits sound tracks as multi channel flac and these are no longer working. XBMC just hangs and I have to do a shutdown to get things running again. Is this a know problem or am I missing something here?? Many than

Try switching from DirectSound to WASAPI audio device in system->system->audio and see if one of those works better.

Please not that it's not a good idea to say latest nightly as the version, please provide the file date and filename, this is particularly important because a new audio core has recently been made the default audio engine. Multichannel LPCM was certainly working last time I tested a couple of weeks ago, but there's been lot's of fixes for the new audio core so something may have inadvertently become broken.
Try with Directsound & WASAPI and provide a debug log for each.
Also if possible try and make a small sample in case it's a problem with how the encode was done.

Hi thanks for your replys. Just to let you know the nightlie I am using is 20130905-fb23d2c-master. I was already using WASAPI Memphiz, but I tried switching to direct sound and got the same crash. Link to log file:-http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=58207. Many thanks

Multichannel flac in the sense of 6.1 was in deed broken. We have fixed this with current fernetmenta aefixes branch. It was quite a hard one.
On the way we also added 7, 8 channel flac layout.
Will come to master soon. I will make a jenkins testbuild for you now and link it later on.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

@Dixon Butz:
Please read the Testing thread. This is intended behaviour. The "default user mask" is opened by default. If you want the "best matching" sink, you need to specify <audio><audiophile>1</audiophile></audio> in advancedsettings.xml
This will come as a setting when we are done with the Audio Settings rewrite.
Background: When you watch content, e.g. LiveTV that switches between 5.1 pcm (movies) and 2.0 commercials, you loose some ms.

Ok thx. I thought it was just
<audiophile>1</audiophile>
They do play when it is properly set.
