Happy New Year!
I'm hoping this year will bring a new XBMC version that actually works with our graphics/audio cards...
CrystalP: I've now done the testing I said I would do, with the Dharma nightlies and betas that I still found on the download page. In other words, I've tried the following builds: 33035, 33040, 33078, 33122, 33149, 33209, 33240, 33300, 33324, 33778, 34731 and 35068, in addition to the RC's that I've tried previously.
Based on the testing I can report that Dolby Digital and AC3 sound didn't work in ANY of these versions. Whatever happened with DD playback between version 9.11 and 10 thus must have happened before build 33035. In all versions DTS playback worked out of the box, as did analog audio.
As we discovered earlier, when I tried the Live CD, the problem is not Windows specific. So I assume then that I won't have to start compiling earlier versions? You mentioned earlier that one of the devs might have a ATI HD 5xxx card lying around, as well as a HDMI capable receiver. If he does, can you ask him to try it with the live CD, and then take it from there?
