I'm not able to reproduce this issue, but I haven't your hardware to make my test attendible, anyway the problem is with the ArcSoft Audio Renderer + FFDShow Audio (and maybe the ASUS Xonar HDAV1.3 Slim) , I saw some older discussion where this renderer + ffdshow was causing the audio device locked up to require a restart of the application, so the problem should not be in dsplayer

Thanks aracnoz. I have this filter configuration working fine in MPC-HC as an external player without any lock ups. I also verified this morning that I could play multiple files in MPC-HC with no restart of MPC-HC required. I prefer DSPlayer with MadVR without having to start an external player, but I also prefer to have HDMA and TrueHD bitstreaming, so I will continue to troubleshoot and see if I can find any configuration that works with my hardware.

it's different because kodi is expected to resume his own audioengine
