I have been unable to resolve my issue with audio failing after playing a single item with bitstreaming. I am using ffdshow and the Arcsoft Audio Renderer as additional filters since this is the only way I have found I can bitstream with my setup (I have tried and tried to get LavAudio working with dtsdecodedll.dll to no avail). I am posting my kodi debug log with hopes someone may have some insight as to what is going on. The log shows playing of a file which outputs as "SPDIF" in ffdshow and then a file that outputs as "HDMI bitstreaming" in ffdshow (HD-MA). In the fist case, the audio engine is able to initialize the WASAPI exclusive mode correctly when the file is stopped playing. In the second case, Kodi cannot reinitialize the WASAPI exclusive mode and fails with:

Code:

13:33:22 T:8092   ERROR: CAESinkWASAPI::InitializeExclusive: Failed to initialize WASAPI in exclusive mode -2004287478 - (AUDCLNT_E_DEVICE_IN_USE).

At this point, no sound is working in Kodi in the GUI or when I start another item. The only way to get audio working again is to restart Kodi.
Is Kodi DSPlayer not releasing something correctly when bitstreaming so that Kodi proper cannot reinit audio>. Or is there some issue with ffdshow not releasing something properly when outputting "HDMI bitstreaming" (second case) vs "SPDIF" (first case)?

I have tried to use DirectSound instead of WASAPI. Similar failure occurs.
Any help is much appreciated.
