With WASAPI Exclusive enabled the source format is played as-is regardless of the channel layout. This is the default Windows mode for this build of XBMC.
It was when I last experienced the jitter. It's only been set to wasapi since these HD audio builds. I checked and both settings were already checked.
The framedrops on those downloaded DTS-HD HR files are still present though. I've just tested those two files again and now the framedrops occur at the start, but then they play fine. Around 13-16, whereas this afternoon they were well in the hundreds. It occurs less when I fiddle with Video Settings, Spline36 video scaling is a bit heavy for my setup in combination maybe, although I don't understand why since the audio is bitstreaming to my receiver. Could also be my server was a bit busy this afternoon.
