Thanks for everyone's help. I've not had issues with reclock. I am running madvr and reclock both with mpc-hc and Kodi, so the only difference is the video and audio codecs. I think I will optimize sound playback of HD audio movies for MPC-HC and have Kodi do everything else with FFDshow audio which has been killer with for nonHD audio material for two channel headphone, etc. listening (this will include most tv shows for which the a media server interface is indespensible.) My problem may follow me with the audio codec and if so I'll report back. Right now the HD Star Trek file has trouble when doing dolby truehd with Kodi, with the lower quality commentary track this Kodi combination has no problems.

I've got MPC-HC running LAV audio which sounds great and is able to playback the Star Trek TrueHD file without issue (but you'll notice in the Kodi log using FFDShow Raw video filter due to LAV video not working for me as discussed back many posts and posts and posts). I also can switch to the FFDShow Raw audio processor easily.

I cannot get FFDShow Raw working with Kodi. I believe it is showing up in filters as FFDShow audio processor (shows in MPC external filters as such, but tray icon is FFDshow raw audio decoder, interface ffdshow audio processor configuration). For me, Kodi works with Lav Audio and FFDShow Audio decoder. Any ideas on how to get FFDShow audio processor/FFDShow raw audio decoder working? I've even reloaded FFDshow processor under another name from Filters list with same results. Snippet from error log follows:

The file in question sounds much better with FFDshow raw audio and is 48,000 uncompressed, output as 48,000 Hz, 32 bit float. It sounds remarkably better with the raw audio codec on these settings on my laptop over headphones (ridiculously better on big two channel rig.) (Celebrity: this one sounds best on 32 float by a wide margin, but I think this is because it is uncompressed.)

Thanks. I really want to use Kodi and its interface, but my ears are keeping me in the dark ages with MPC right now.
