Ive set up XBMC however I dont seem to be able to get any sound when playing WMV-HD files. MKV and DVD files work fine though.

Ive installed the Atlantis build onto a Vista HTPC. This feeds my Denon receiver via Optical output. I have set the Audio option to Digital within XBMC, and also 5.1 for the speakers. My mobo has onboard Realtek HD sound. I can play the same files using Windows Media Player and the sound is intact.

Any ideas what I may of missed?

Yup, you missed reading the forums before posting.

Quality first post, well done.

And thanks so much for your thoughtful and concise help.

Marcus - he was simply referring to the whole rest of the thread already giving you the answer... for now all our hops for not having multiple versions of audio files (and coincidentally video files with wma audio) rests with the folks coding for FFMPEG and them adding support for WMA.

Damn it, when ever i see a patch.... my fingers are itching, only problem is.
I donated my secondary motherboard to a friend who's motherboard died.... as soon as i get a new motherboard or pc, i'll be playing with this!

My first post so let’s hope I get this correctly

I understand that ffmpeg now supports WMAPRO or WMA9. This was incorporated in SVN 17003. This was great news however I haven't been able to successfully play files with WMA9 sound

Here are the details

Tested on Vista SP1 and XP sp2
Tested XBMC SVN 17003 and SVN 17015

Error:

Assertion Failed!

Program C:\Program Files\XBMC\XBMC.exe
File: libavcodec/wma3dec.c
Line: 1585

Thanks for all your help

[Jester]

can somebody confirm this ? and if so, create a trac ticket for this ?

[Gamester17]

Here is a list of around 1500 wmapro files, if anyone finds non working
files (crashing decoder/sounding bad) please report.

Thanks alot for your support

[pike]

the wmapro support is VERY early code. it's not in ffmpeg yet

there's already fixes that we haven't adopted yet,
yes some clips causes bad things to happen today

patience

While playing WMV (HD) files there is no sound. I read in this forum that WM* files are not well supported.
Is it something XBMC supports? Or is it an issue with mplayer?

The audio/video codecs according to MediaInfo:
Format : Windows Media at 4 143 Kbps
Length : 1 GiB for 46mn 51s 486ms
Video #0 : VC-1 at 3 900 Kbps
Aspect : 1280 x 720 (1.778) at 25.000 fps
Audio #0 : WMA3 at 384 Kbps
Infos : 6 channels, 48.0 KHz
Language : nl

Is there something I can do? Install a codec? Or just stay away from all WM* from now on?

Does anyone else have this problem?

Thanks for your time.

I am running XBMC Live 8.10. But it seems to be an issue on Ubuntu and even XBMC Windows. File plays fine in Windows Media Player. I don't think the files use DRM, but how do I check?

Have searched the forums, but I couldn't find any thread about WMV audio issues, just some loose comments about little support for WM*.

[spiff]

we dont use mplayer

anyways, the issue is that those files use wma pro as their audio codec.

the real solution to the problem; stop using crappy proprietary formats.
in any case, these are now supported in latest svn (using somewhat wip code)

I must have been sleeping yesterday, sorry
Thanks for the move to this thread and your answer.

Hello

I have a problem with playing some files.
I work with Windows Vista x64 SP1, everything play's ok, i have 5,1 DTS sound with DVD and 720p & 1080p files in Blu-Ray and/or MKV.
But some other movie files have only DD 5,1 audio, and then i hear nothing over mij Denon reciever.

Some of the files where i have no audio look like this:
Video Codec............: WVC1
Video Bitrate...........: 3,5 Mbit/sec
Video Aspect Ratio....: 1280x720 (720p)
Audio Codec............: WMA 10 Pro
Audio Bitrate...........: 384 kbit/sec (CBR)
Audio kanalen...........: 5.1 channels

Anyone an idea?

[jimtreats]

just wanted to say that i don't think that the sound included in

Terminator 2 - WMV-HD

disk is working properly. I just got the latest svn build (17626) and tried playing the track. Versus the normal current build available to download its still got no sound but is now playing at a faster rate, i'm guessing caused by the audio decoder getting confused. Checked out the normal log and saw

Code:

20:18:41 T:2968219648 M:2093244416   DEBUG: CDVDPlayerAudio:: Discontinuty - was:441946743.893333, should be:442068666.666667, error:121922.773333
20:18:41 T:2968219648 M:2093109248   ERROR: PortAudioDirectSound::AddPackets - sanity failed. no play handle!

If i can be of anymore help i'll gladly try anything.

Is it to be expected at the moment that the audio isn't going to play correctly.

Cheers
