@ Hoborg
on my HTPC in the living room i use passthrough (SP/DIF) to Receiver, in the sleeping room i use only 2 stereo speakers and the Problem appears on both PCs

I will try to play your sample on Intal Atom tomorow at work.
Can you open your sampe in graphstudio, take screenshot and post it here?

Hi to all,

I'm planing on uninstalling SAF 4.0 and installing SAF 5.0, I need some clarification about the warning:

!!! Warning !!!
Do not enable audio pass through during SAF install if you are using MePo audio renderer!

My PC SPDIF out is connected to a receiver, and till now I don't remember doing anything special with SAF 4.0 installed.

Where in MePo should I look for it before installing SAF 5.0

Many thanks in advance

Did you installed MePo audio renderer?

I've got 2 movies with 5.1 aac codec, but it only decodes as 2.0. I'm using win 7... What can I do?
Thanks

How you setup your audio output? There is only stereo output as default if audio passthrough is not enabled.

Re: SAF v5.00 experimental (based on FFDShow DXVA decoder)

I want to watch movies with bitstream TrueHD / DTS-HD MA audio. (not LPCM)
I want to buy an Asus Xonar HDAV1.3 slim sound card to bypass my internal soundcard (Realtek ALC889A) to bitstream TrueHD / DTS-HD MA to my receiver (Denon AVR-1911) so it can decode the sound.
HTPC: Intel E8400, Gigabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2H (with Nvidia Geforce 9400 chipset / IGP)

Is bitstream TrueHD / DTS-HD MA possible with MediaPortal + Asus Xonar HDAV1.3 slim sound card + SAF 5.0 and audio passthrough (hdmi-cable)?
Further... I've read somewhere that bitstream TrueHD / DTS-HD MA is only possible with an external player like TotalMedia Theatre ?

Yes. Do some search, there is some threads about this.

Which question did you confirm with Yes?

1. Yes, bitstream TrueHD / DTS-HD MA is possible with MediaPortal + Asus Xonar HDAV1.3 slim sound card + SAF 5.0 and audio passthrough (hdmi-cable) is possible ?
2. Yes, bitstream TrueHD / DTS-HD MA is only possible with an external player like TotalMedia Theatre ?

Just, to make sure:
question #3: Will an Asus Xonar HDAV1.3 slim sound card bypass the internal soundcard, so my receiver (Denon AVR-1911) can decode the bitstream? (TrueHD / DTS-HD MA)
question #4: Is any htpc capable to send bitstream TrueHD / DTS-HD MA ? (hardware-compontents)

my HTPC: Intel E8400, Gigabyte GA-E7AUM-DS2H (with Nvidia Geforce 9400 chipset / IGP)

mister_salsa:

Honestly, i will get ATI 5450 GPU instead of audio card, 5xxx card can passthrough any HD audio format, and it is much better then integrated nVidia 9400.

I say yes to your first question.
I do not have reciever, so my passthrough experience = 0.

Okay, so bitstream TrueHD / DTS-HD MA is possible with SAF 5.0 and extra hardware if your htpc soundchip can't.
(The extra hardware bypasses the internal soundchip? Right?)
Recommended extra hardware for bitstream TrueHD / DTS-HD MA could be the Asus Xonar HDAV1.3 or Ati 5450.
The last one is cheaper, but produces more heat.


But what about a sentence in the first post: "+support for *.MPC, *.FLAC, *.AC3 and *.DTS external audio files (not HD!)"

I have ATI 5450 passive, and it is not much hot, i can keep hand on it.

I dont known how to write it to not confusing users....
If i write "support for *.MPC, *.FLAC, *.AC3 and *.DTS external audio files" i mean external audio files only!

Here is the Screenshot

Hi.
I was able to reproduce the problem here on Intel Atom.

But i have no idea what can cause it :/
