Yeah I've been getting it. I haven't used Gotham on my HTPC so I am not sure if it's because of that or something else. The only "fix" I saw was disabling pass through, but that's not really an option for me. XBMC Log Uploader isn't working for me right now or I'd put something up.

I have a Denon receiver.

Edit: Updating my receiver's firmware and will try with the FTV's audio set to Stereo.

Edit2: That didn't change anything. Still static when starting a Dolby Digital file.

I didn't think that would fix it. If it was your receiver you would get that in any source besides the ftv. To me it only happens in xbmc. But I do also have a Denon receiver. So must be the way it does passthrough that the receiver doesn't like with Dolby Digital.

Yep, there is an issue with Dennon AVRs and XBMC (or Android), with every Android device I have I have to manually set the decode mode before I get anything but static. With the AFTV once I set the decode mode then I can set it back to "Auto" decode and it's fine, at least until I shutdown XBMC or switch sources, then I have to do it all over again. But I get the "popping" noise every time I start a video, both DTS and DD.

On my Ouya & MX2 I have to set the decode mode every time I start a video, but at least with the Ouya it too has the "popping" noise every time, DTS and DD.

I've also notice that with DTS-HD, the core is being passed through, but with TrueHD+AC3 encodes it downmixes the TrueHD stream to stereo instead of defaulting to the AC3/DD and passing it through, as where XBMC for Ouya would.


EDIT: Just looking through the logcat, this sort of stuck out and could be why my AVR isn't switching to the correct decode mode (but it's just a guess)
