I've been searching the web (including these forums) for a couple of days, but I just can't find a sollution for my problem! It seems that more people has the same problem, but those topics all date from 2008 or are using the Linux platform.
The problem:
Installed XBMC Dharma Beta1 on Windows XP SP3, and everything works out of the box. I can view movies fine with analog sound. But since I connected my DD / DTS receiver to my soundcard (Soundblaster Live!) I wanted to use the SPDIF interface to have DD and DTS sound with my .MKV movies. When I set my sound output to SPDIF in the system configuration, my video's plays way to fast, and the sound skips with the movie. It seems like it's suddenly on steroids! I tried other options, like HDMI, but the problem remains.
So, I tried another mediaplayer (Media Player Classic) to see if the problem lies with my drivers or system, but all movies plays fine in there. I have nice DTS sound, and movies play on normal speed, so the problem really is XBMC related. I used the 'latest' official drivers from creative (dated from 2005), installed the latest NVidia drivers for my 8600GT and installed all windows patches, DirectX 9c and .NET 3.5. Also tried the official 9.11 release, but the problem stays.
Does anyone here has a sollution for my problem? I'm happy to provide more information if needed...
