Windows is already configured to allow exclusive mode see https://www.dropbox.com/s/5tgrjnlcj4z0pes/Capture.JPG
I already tried with WASAPI, so i switch to Direct Sound to test that config. I made another log: https://www.dropbox.com/s/9ihrvoqrj7sxuf...282%29.log with WASAPI and Stereo Upmix disabled but with no improvement, XBMC still outputs stereo. I know that because when 5.1 passthrough is used before I couldn't use XBMC volume control (it says 'Passthrough in use'), and now I can turn down/up volume with XBMC.
Also I noticed (as you can see: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5tgrjnlcj4z0pes/Capture.JPG) in 'Default Format' it says 2 channels and I can't select nothing else.
As I try to understand
could it be that XBMC doesn't use passthrough when doing DTS to AC3 transcoding? Because when playing DTS movie I can turn up/down volume with XBMC controls (see in logs) and it doesn't say 'Passthrough audio in use'. XBMC should do DTS to AC3 transcoding and then passthrough AC3 stream because I checked that option in settings, maybe XBMC doesn't transcode DTS to AC3? because when I play movie with AC3 5.1 stream (not DTS) all is working -> I can hear sound from all of my speakers, and when trying to volume up/down XBMC does't allow it ('Passthrough audio in use').
Thank you for your continuing support DDDamian!
