With XBMC closed in the Start menu select Run and type %appdata% and navigate to XBMC/userdata folder, then I'd rename guisettings.xml to something like old-guisettings.xml (thus keeping original file), then start XBMC.
As for what went wrong, not sure and I'd need more information on how things are connected together to take a guess.
How is PC connected to TV?
How is PC connected to 5.1 Home Theatre box?
If using HDMI how is XBMC turned off & on? and from what state? for example do you put the PC to Sleep while XBMC is active or do you close XBMC first then what do you do if anything when returning to XBMC from Sleep.
Thanks jjd-uk for the help.
I will do as you mentioned regarding the guisettings.xml and report back.
For your questions,
How is PC connected to TV? PC --> HDMI --> Yamaha AVR RX-V373 --> HDMI --> Panasonic LED
How is PC connected to 5.1 Home Theatre box? Connected thro' HDMI to AVR.
I'm running XBMC over windows 7. I usually switch on TV --> AVR --> PC --> XBMC. I normally close XBMC first before putting the PC to sleep or shutdown.
I hope these answers your questions and hopefully find a solution. Meanwhile i will keep playing around and check various settings as well and report back if there are any improvements. Thanks.
Hi, i defaulted the guisettings.xml. Observed the .dts files and all other video files with HD audio played well.
All of them played fine even when i changed the settings to 5.1 with AC3 enabled. The AVR reported .dts files as Dolby Digital.
The problem occurred once i changed to DTS capable receiver. The DTS audio files wouldn't play, while all the other video files with HD audio plays fine.
I assume there is some issue with xbmc and DTS audio files. As these same files i was able to play in Foobar with Wasapi enabled.
Hoping there is a solution available for this. Thanks
