Hi,

Ive recently formatted my system and upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate. I'm now having trouble getting any Audio to play from MKV files. The windows sounds work fine and the clicks in MP work as i scroll through menu's etc.

Ive tried different codecs to no avail (SAF 4, 5 & 6, AC3 Filter, FFDSHOW DXVA)

Any ideas? Please find my logs attached.

Thanks,

Russ

You firstly need to foind source of the problem, disabling passthrough is good way to start.
Looks like your audio renderer refusing connection...
Open your files in Graphstudio, here you can see if there will be audio decoder -> audio renderer connection.

I dont have reciever, so i wont help you much.

Good news. I now have DTS/DD and using LAV audio decoder. The problem was a small but stupid cock up on my part. When SAF6 was asking me to choose my audio device on the windows sound settings page during installation i was choosing USB: Speakers not USB: Out. That was it. A very silly mistake that took me hours to figure out. Its now figured out and working like a dream. Thanks alot for your help :)

Can i jump in here and ask you to post your SAF 6 codec settings?

I have just purchased an av receiver so like you I want to get luvverly DTS/DD 5.1

What do you set as audio renderer in the codecs tab?

I am confused and cannot decide whether to use ;
Direct Sound: AMD HDMI output (AMD High Definition Audio Device)
or just
AMD HDMI Output (AMD High Defin
