I don't want to get into an argument, but I feel that your reply deserves an explanation/response.
In short: you have misunderstood how MP works for codec settings.
All that is required for settings to be saved is to open MP Config and view the settings that you want to be saved. My bet is that you didn't view the codec settings until you tried changing to MPAR. That's why I think the problem would be solved if you change back to DirectSound now.
The settings are saved when you view them, even if you don't make changes... but if you haven't viewed them, there will be no settings.
Like I said: from my side I respectfully chose to believe the log files instead of what you said because it was obvious that you didn't understand how MP works for codec settings. From your side, you can choose whether to trust that after 10 years I understand how MP works for codec settings... or not.
When there are no settings:
Only the settings that you view are saved.
If you view the video renderer tab then the settings for that tab will be saved... but the codec settings in the other tabs won't be touched.
...and in my second reply I asked for new log files and you completely ignored me!
So, my view is that you didn't do what I asked.
I don't know why you've chosen to ignore the policy and continue to zip only what you think is relevant, but it's really really annoying.
The Watchdog collects all the information we need to solve problems. Don't you trust us to know what's needed?
I will reserve judgement until I actually see the log files.

If a user does this the settings will be saved => no bug.If the User makes a clean installation and opens the Config and sees that all filters were set correct to LAV Video and LAV Audio there is no need to changed something and so he clicks OK.

I didn't say that. You've misinterpreted what I said.You say that those values then are not saved

I'm sure it is frustrating... but sometimes we can be mistaken, and in this case I think you were/are mistaken. It's okay to be wrong sometimes.And yes it is frustrating when I say everything is set up correct and then someone says that I didnt!

This statement shows that you don't understand how MP works for codec settings!Also it then makes no sense that LAV Audio Devoder is used fine, but Video has to reset because by default it is Null but shown as set in Config Dialog which then is a bug and not correct.
When there are no settings:
- MP (not MP Config) will use the system default codecs, which are chosen by the DirectShow merit system. In your case MP chose the LAV audio decoder because it had the highest merit on your system for the TV channel audio stream's format. Similarly, MP chose Microsoft DTV-DVD video because it had a higher merit than LAV video decoder.
- MP Config (not MP) selects LAV by default if it is installed/available. This saves you time having to go through and select LAV for ~20 (?) settings.
Again, this statement shows that you don't understand how MP works for this part!By the way I set madVR directly so the Config dialog was changed at the first time. Then I also set back to EVR.
Only the settings that you view are saved.
If you view the video renderer tab then the settings for that tab will be saved... but the codec settings in the other tabs won't be touched.
Yes, you did attach log files to the first post... but they weren't log files from the Watchdog tool, were they?As I know you need logs that why I created debug logs and added them. So I did what you always asking for.
...and in my second reply I asked for new log files and you completely ignored me!
So, my view is that you didn't do what I asked.
Argh, Sascha! After so many years using MP and getting help from us here on the forum you should know (because it's team policy and because I've specifically asked you over and over again in other threads) that we ALWAYS want you to use the Watchdog to collect log files.I did not know that you need Watchdog full log because I dont know what kind of information you are looking for. All other information in full log have nothing to do with this issue.
I don't know why you've chosen to ignore the policy and continue to zip only what you think is relevant, but it's really really annoying.

Like I said: I prefer to believe the log files. If you'd used the Watchdog as you should have, I would have been able to double-check the merits etc. for myself and make sure you hadn't made a mistake. This is just one reason why we always expect/prefer Watchdog log files.I said the filter is working fine and Merit is fine too. I already checked everything before posting to make sure that I didnt miss something.
A little humility would be appreciated!But yes I can post Watchdog log but you will of course find no new information...
I will reserve judgement until I actually see the log files.
What you consider to be a bug is actually done by design. As I explained above, MP Config selects LAV by default to save you time. It's not a problem unless you go ahead and use MP without checking that the settings are okay first, which is never recommended....when it is a bug of MediaPortal showing the user that LaV Video Decoder is set fine even though it is not set (GUI bug of those comboboxes?)
