Re: AW: Re: AW: MediaPortal Audio renderer - better video playback quality
23-08-2010 20:08:13.527 [ 6f0] WASAPIRenderer::CheckMediaType WASAPI client refused the format: (0x88890008)
0x88890008 = AUDCLNT_E_UNSUPPORTED_FORMAT . ATI HW / drivers dont support that audio format.
For the time being you should use ffdshow as audio decoder and disable the 24 bit output.

Re: AW: MediaPortal Audio renderer - better video playback quality
Is it possible that the log was old? All connect atempts to the renderer were 6 channel and 24 bit.
Ok, 24 Bit is disabled.
Maybe I had the option left active in ffdshow..
Now the second Track is played, but only as 2.0.
Better than nothing

I rechecked evrything.
I was a bit confused
Here are clean logs.
With 24 bit disabled i can only play the first 2.0 Track witch is 24 bit also, but ffdshow converts it to 16 bit.
Switching to the 5.1 Track stops playback.
24 Bit enabled plays both Tracks fine.
Only problem is that the second track is only played as 2.0 but ffdshow outputs 5.1 uncompressed 24 bit.
I hope now I'm right and it's clear

Re: AW: MediaPortal Audio renderer - better video playback quality
In this log the 24 bit is still tried and driver fails to accept it, could you check with graph edit what decoder is actually used. I bet it is not ffdshow (I think I need to add some logging to show the failed cases with the audio decoder that was used):
Also there is some general error reported by the driver (nice, not telling any extra info...)
In that log the audio renderer receives from the driver that the format is not accepted and it is not accepting the audio decoder connection therefore. If you check the graph, you will most likely see that the audio renderer is actually the MS default directsound (or something similar).
...what did we learn from here? I really need to get the HDMI connection to work with exclusively mode -> NVIDIA needs to fix their drivers...

About ASUS Xonar (again ) -> http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/Audio_Card/Xonar_HDAV1.3/Xonar_HDAV_BD_DVD_User_Guide.pdf
Based on that I would say that the audio card drivers are constantly trying to renderer on the sample rate / bit depth that is set in the driver settings. So, the user needs to adjust those to match every time when a different audio format is played. A workaround would be to set those for example to 196Khz 16 bit and the force ffdshow to resample constantly to those.
Please test

Hi tourettes,
yes I checked it and you were absolutly right
I'm using SAF 5, so normally madFlac decodes FLAC and passes it to ffdshow.
Here are some graphs:
24 Bit Track, madflac, 2.0
24 Bit Track, madflac, 5.1
As an example an other file that plays with the standard SAF configuration fine, also postet a few posts above
16 Bit Track, madflac, 5.1
Then I changed the settings, that ffdshow decodes FLAC
24 Bit Track, ffdshow, 2.0
In that case ffdshow outputs only 16 Bit
16 Bit Track, ffdshow, 5.1
With the 24 Bit 5.1 Track playback stops with ffdshow setting, so no graph
I hope I figured all correctly out and didn't mix it up...
