Here you go Seb. It looks like playback actually works for the first time after mediaportal starts. It is on the second and subsequent playback attempts that it fails. You should see that in these logs.
Basically, there seems to be a problem with the Intel GPU drivers removing the HDMI audio renderer on refresh rate changes (and if you have no audio renderer playback won't work).
FWIW, i'm using MP 1.21 Final, Windows 7 Ultimate x64, with AMD 5570 GPU with ATI catalysts driver version 13.12 and MP 1.21 DRR chaining is working quite nicely, no issues with audio or video.
Intel GPU hardware and drivers have always been very questionable for HTPC usage, there always seems to be issues.
Prior to using MP, i was a very long term Win 7 MCE HTPC user, but i just became too tired of having to put workarounds in place for such an aging unsupported application.
Since moving to MP, i've been able to back out all workarounds i had in place for Win 7 MCE, and the MP experience is so much better.
I especially like that there are so many config dials and knobs to tweak with.
Also really enjoying the MP 1.21 Final DRR changer.
Gracenote has a round robin for its DNS and they have changed it several times.
Copy the below and make it a batch file (zap2it_check.bat) and then run it every so often (or when your automated update fails) you can check the dns to see if the round robin has changed. If so you can just reedit your hosts file.

Thank's,
I had already disabled the option in MP. Anyway, last night, after several tests, I suddenly hooked up the correct frequency. Honestly I've done dozens of tests and so I don't know what is the thing that unlocked the problem, but now it works.

My shell scripting skills are very rusty these days, so for those like me who are still rocking Windows 7's (or some later version of) WMC, I thought I'd post the (rather hacky) Python script I'm using as a drop-in...
