I do have a real life as well - stop nagging

It's now in Jira - https://issues.team-mediaportal.com/browse/MP1-4134

Great, now go put out the trash and put the toilet seat back down

The problem is that MP tries to use an audio device that is not present as it is an external audio renderer. This is a general design issue of selecting stuff in Configuration.exe that is later never checked again if it is really available.

Applies to everything that is not always inside the PC - e.g. USB headphones for example of WiFi audio devices. Not really related to HDMI. HDMI is just a promiment thing here.

I have got this problem.
I had disabled in the bios my onboard audio chipset too.
Since I reenable it, it's ok.

We're in MP 1.6.0 currently, and still nothing about this...

Any ETA?

 

[Owlsroost]

Not according to Jira - https://issues.team-mediaportal.com/browse/MP1-4134

It should be easy to workaround though - just enable on-board audio so there is always an audio device available ?

Yes I saw JIRA, that's why I ask... It's been to mayor versions with no news about it.

@Owlsroost, as I said some posts back:

Believe me or not, enabling onboard audio makes my MP react with some delay to any key I press. It's weird, and it stays the same way even if I disable this audio device in windows. Only after disabling it in BIOS the delay disappears.

Really strange all in all, but I prefer to deal with this bug till it's fixed than keeping my onboard audio enabled.

That's why I don't want to enable onboard audio...

Will try to reproduce the issue too
