Hi,
I am desperately looking for help with a sound problem that has very recently come up. I'm reporting it in here because it's 1.1.3 I'm running - but I really don't think it a 1.1.3 problem.
Until very recently everything has been running extremely well - very stable and reliable (with one or two minor issues that I know will be resolved in the next release). For some reason - and I have absolutely no idea why, which is why I'm asking or help - something has changed so that I can no longer get anything but DD encoded sound tracks to play. This is applying to both TV and recorded CDs. If the audio stream is linear pcm then the sound level output from MP client is heavily damped to the point where it is inaudible unless I increase the volume on the external amplifier to maximum (and even then it is only just audible) but this demonstrates that the output has not been muted. If the audio stream is DD encoded (2.0 or 5.1) then sound levels are at normal.
The problem has to be occurring in MP client somewhere. If I use Windows Media Player (or Media Centre) then the linear pcm tracks play fine (both CD and recorded TV). If I use the TVServer preview function on a non-DD encoded TV channel then the sound level is normal. it's only when I use MP Client that the sound on non-DD channels disappears.
As far as I can tell from the log everything is working OK - but I have attached a short logfile from this morning when I first did a restart from scratch, viewed an HD channel with DD (2.0) sound (in this case BBC1 HD) and then switched to BBC1 London (pcm encoded) and lost the sound.
I really would appreciate any ideas about where to look because I have simply run out of things to try (I've changed all the various codecs and so on. The really annoying thing is that I really don't recall making any changes to my setup - yet something has quite obviously changed because things no longer work the way they used to.
