Hi Patrick,
Yes, those are my default options, as with those options, the latest Intel drivers for my i3 iGPU, and builds since 10.1, I have been able to get solid video playback with no frame drops (the Intel iGPU is now reasonably close to 23.976, I think it's 23.978 now).
DTS-MA works perfectly, my wife and I watched Jurassic Park (ripped from BD to MKV file) and did not suffer one audio dropout or frame dropped during the entire movie using this latest build.
However, playing Kung-Fu Panda 2, with the Dolby True track, I do get periodic moments where the audio drops briefly, for perhaps 1/5 of a second (still annoying).
I do not seem to get the behavior when I set True-HD to PCM, so that's my workaround for now.

Hi All,
I've read the last 10 pages or so and I'm still confused as to what the consensus is for the best package, DanielA or DDaimians. I am currently using DDaimians with the fixes, however then I think DanielA updated hers also to incorporate some changes...
So confused!!!

First time poster -long time lurker...
I have tried this new build (DDDamian's XBMC Beta 3 + HD-Audio + Global AV Delay) + MQ3 skin and I personally have finally found what I have been looking for -for years!
Thank you so much to everyone who has contributed to this excellent piece of work espcially DanielaE & DDDamian.
I am using a custom built mini-atx Zacate E350, Win7, latest HD drivers with HDMI only output.
Menu's are snappy and playback is smooth and crystal clear. I have tested all my DTS-MA & True-HD sources, streaming 35GB mkv's over a wired network from my server is perfect.
Living in Canada, unfortunately I cannot use the "Adjust display refresh rate to match video" settings since my TV does not support PAL and quite a few of my TV shows (BBC) and some movies are in PAL format. I am forced to use the internal reclock method "Sync playback to display" but it seems to work fine for me so far...
Is there any way to use the "Adjust display refresh rate to match video" as a default option and fall back to "Sync playback to display" automagically for PAL content? -That would truly be perfect (or I'm not understanding something)
My setup:
HTPC: Custom mini-itx Zacate E350, Win 7, SSD >HDMI>
Receiver: Yamaha RX-V1800 >HDMI>
TV: 46" Samsung 6-Series LCD
Listening on: Klipsh F2's (6.1)
Server: Windows Home Server (5 Tb custom build)

I will try to avoid taking it further off topic, but reclock is not necessary. The sync options in XBMC are more than capable of achieving perfect sync of audio and video with a 23.976 display without having to bring reclock into the picture.
If the price to pay for that is that True-HD doesn't work quite right when bit streamed, I'm willing to live with that.
