This is not a Mediaportal issue but since I have read almost every post there is in here about the subject and 'cause you all have the knowledge
I'll make a shot. My final goal with this is to use Mediaportal so I'm not that off.. :wink:
The problem is that I, in some situations, can't get S/PDIF to work.
Sounds familiar huh!?..
Hardware:
HP NC8000 http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en/sm/WF06a/321957-64295-89315-321838-f1-364182.html
Graphic: Radeon Mobility 9600, driverversion 6.14.10.6436
Sound: (Analog devices) SoundMAX, driverversion 5.12.1.5250
WLAN: Gigabyte GN-WMAG
These hardware and drivers are the only thing installed upon my Windows XP Pro SP2 installation.
Once the sounddriver is installed I check that the AC3- and PCM S/PDIF option is activated in the volumecontrol in systray. I then install PowerDVD 6 and start it up. Configures it to use S/PDIF and verifies the output with a Dolbydigital-trailer (.VOB). The amplifier (NAD T743) recognizes the digital stream and switches automatically from stereo to Dolby Digital. I then fire up Graphedit and opens the stream. A graph is shown that cyberlink codecs are used to both encode audio and video. When hitting the play button the video is shown but the amplifier doesn't change from stereo. When looking at the properties for the audiocodec it is set on stereo. The S/PDIF option is present as a choice but can't be chosen.. is isn't selectable. I have also tried with WinDVD and the same situation, it works within the application but not when using the codec outside, with for example Graphedit or Mediaportal. I have also been using the builtin codecs in Mediaportal, FFDShow and AC3-filter with no success. When looking at the properties for AC3-filter the graph within the codec shows that the sound is present on all 5.1 channels but the digital signal isn't recived by the amplifier. Could this be an direct x issue, since the last box in the graphedit-scheme is a directsound output!?? Doesn't PowerDVD/WinDVD use the same structure?
Yes.. I have tried with adding keys to the registry to make the S/PDIF output active. Yesterday evening was the last time I tried it. No success. I have even downloaded the registrychanges (PowerDVD-SPDIF.reg) that comes with Meedio just to compare with the changes I have found within this forum.
Please feel free to laugh, present valuable information or some way to get this working.
