[QUOTE="orencha, post: 64880, member: 11329"] After HOURS of experiences with SPDIF (I also have SoundMax onboard audio, and use the SPDIF out), here's my Quick-Tip: For proper SPDIF operation, you should use your sound card directly (ie choose "Soundmax Digital Out", rather than "Directsound" or "System Default" options). This is true for most applications, including MediaPortal. However... MediaPortal has its own "Internal" sounds (ie CLICK.WAV) and those sounds are probably going out through Default DirectSound Device (NOTE FOR PROGRAMMERS: THIS SHOULD BE CONFIGURABLE!). I found those sounds conflict with proper AC3/DTS pass-through SPDIF in MP. So my solution: Delete the SOUNDS folder under your current skin (or just rename it). Example: rename [b]C:\Program Files\Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal\skin\BlueTwo\sounds[/b] to _sounds. This solved many SPDIF issues for me. [b][u]IDEA:[/u][/b] There should be a general "Audio Device To Use" config option in MP. Then, specific modules (like DVD, TV, Movies) can have their own Audio Device Setup (either choose "MediaPortal Default" or another device). [b]P.S:[/b] There's currently no way to configure Audio Device for use with "My Music". [/QUOTE]
