Hey guys,

I recently went out and bought a new sound system for my HTPC. I bought the Denon AVR-X2000 (which supports DTS-MA) and the ASUS Radeon HD 6450 GPU for my PC (which supports DTS-MA passthrough)... However, for whatever reason XBMC refuses to pass the DTS-MA audio through to my receiver (when I un-check DTS-MA capable receiver the video plays fine). Dolby Digital, DTS, and Dolby True HD all work fine. Having trouble figuring this one out. Any ideas? Running XBMC 12.3 on Windows 7 Ultimate x64

In the windows forum is a trouble shoot section concerning audio / gpu drivers. It's most likely an EDID problem, where the handshake does not work between card and AVR. Workarounds are described in that thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=146911

What OS? Do you use WASAPI audio device? Have you checked the properties of the audio device, to see that it recognizes the AVR as HTS-HD/MA capable?

Thanks very much. I'll take a look.

I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I have my XBMC set to use Direct Sound. And I'm not sure how to tell if it recognizes the AVR as DTS-HD/MA capable.

DirectSound does not support passthrough of DTS-HD

Ya, I switched to WASAPI and everything works great. DERP!
Thanks a bunch for your help guys!
