MediaPortal Audio renderer - better video playback quality (1 Viewer)

[edterbak]

Edit: Actually don't panic - I've spotted something...

Davidf's spotting results can be found in the attached binary. All Xonar users please test how it behaves. It has relaxed clock handling so it wont detect driver bugs for other HW (but backward jumping clock shouldn't even exist based on MSDN documentation )

So, Xonar owners please download and test (others don't need to bother with the download).

Hi Tourettes,

I downloaded it, I have time to test this tonight. Obliged birthdays

Just to be sure that the correct version is in use, log should have:

MP Audio Renderer - v0.993 - Xonar testing

Probably then best version ever builded for Xonar.

No synch problem at all. 14 minutes only but should be enough.

HWBasedRefClock=1 WASAPIUseEventMode=0 (off course)

edit: 42 minutes standard tvseries lenght . result: perfect

Tested it.

I have to agree with red5 Most perfect one till now
Tested HWBaseRefclock 1 and eventdrivenmode 1
new log attached

Very good, but are you sure about eventdrivenmode = 1 because event driven mode here continue not working . Should be the other oddity problem of Xonar driver and shouldn't be involved by this version. Actually it shouldn't be possible to fix.

Anyway I guess this Xonars border-line case was important to improve the renderer.

Dont ask me why it works - maybe a driver update has fixed that?

Actually it makes the other possible (unknown) driver bugs now more severe since audio renderer cannot detect those anymore - lets just hope that there aren't other buggy drivers that comes to the audio clock implementation

My english is not good for sure but I said that even driven mode is still NOT working for me. I have to disable it as usual.
I asked to edterbak to recheck and confirm.

using driver .1792 brainbit 1.20 with asio + dpc latency patch. dont know if the latter makes a difference though.

tourettes quoted some line from my log... confirmed it is using event driven mode.

(edit)
errrr how does one test if event driven mode is working?

Yes, I did understood the issue - but it seems to work for edterbak, so maybe there is something fixed on driver side.

edterbak, could you check with the Microsoft exclusive mode sample application if it works with that as well? Just to be sure.

If it is not working either log will show that the WASAPI device wont accept that or in Xonar's case it should corrupt the audio itself (pops, noise etc.)
