Hello

Thanks for the setup screenshots, but unfortunately that level of detail isn't really sufficient for us to track down a problem such as this.
So, please could you post full logs:
http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/16_Support/3_Forums/2_Log_Files

...and also let us know the details of your setup (for example, what is the SPDIF output connected to).

Its hooked up to an older Yamaha Receiver and if i don't use the audio renderer the sound works fine just no 5.1 or DTS everything gets down-mixed in to stereo. I can't reproduce the problem in debug mode because i only use moving pictures and it disables that not sure what to do about that one

Should be able to use the second option in the watchdog for reporting a problem to a plugin developer. I'd expect that to produce debug logs but not disable your plugins.

Device you have selected doesn't seem to support WASAPI event driven mode. Please try using Digital Audio (S/PDIF) (High Definition Audio Device) (target endpoint should read: {0.0.0.00000000}.{1cefdefb-b9df-449c-b91e-aa0d60f50e18} when that device is selected).

If that doesn't help, try disabling "Use even driven mode" from MPAR config. And if that wont help then as the last resort the exclusive mode, but at tthat point it is pretty much same to use the default direct show renderer.

ps. usually those high end audio cards have had really bad WASAPI drivers, not much what can be done to solve those - especilly since I dont have any of those to test

OK so i switched to the computers built in sound card and it works... but with one issue now when i play a movie whether its 5.1 or not it plays the sound in 5.1 and sound will only be coming out the left,right speaker. Before it would switch back and forth depending on the source. when its not in 5.1 i can use my stereos built in movie mode to make stereo sound a little better but if it thinks its getting 5.1 it wont work

(edit I also disabled event driven mode and it works with my fancy sound card too now but still the same issue with the audio)

 

[tourettes]

Did you disable the WASAPI exclusive mode as well? As that would cause the OS mixer to kick in and then it will mix the audio based on the control panel settings.

 

[d3rang3d]

didn't disable exclusive mode are you saying i should do that or shouldn't?

edit - when i disable it i get just horrible crackled sound so thats a no go
