    I am currently using SPDIF to pass audio to my receiver. I have a video card that can pass LPCM audio through HDMI but my current receiver does not support it. I have ASIO4all and use it with this plugin. I can play multi-channel DTS files and DTS and AC3 Audio from movies without issue. There are two places where I run into issues: Multi-Channel FLAC files and DTS Audio ripped from DVD's. The latter will not even play.

    It's as mikeyko alread said: over spdif you can only pass unencoded stereo and ac3/dts.
    In order to play ac3/dts over spdif with this plugin, it needs to be encapsulated in 2 channel PCM. Audio ripped from a DVD is in raw format and thus will not play. You can encapsulate it though using the spdifer tool from AC3Filter tools | AC3Filter

    Symphy, I've long been using your fantastic plugin, but I've got a problem with the more recent versions. I've attached two logs, one with Pureaudio and the other without. All I did was select the genre 'Xmas' and 'add to playlist'. Without Pureaudio, the music starts playing pretty much straight away, but with Pureaudio there is a long delay, during which the system is not responding. This delay can be seen in the log:

    If you need me to do further diagnostics then please let me know.

    Any idea why version 1.2.2 is the last one giving me bitperfect playback.
    I'm using no ASIO but a soundcard+driver which is capable of playback 44.1 khz without resampling.
    When trying to playback a 44.1 khz DTS file, later versions only give hiss on playback.
    I tried 1.3.0 and all the 2.x releases without success.

    Thanks.

    Hmm, that's odd. Maybe it's related to changing to floating point samples internally. Will have a look at it coming week.

    this plugin and LastFm issues.....

    Just want to see if this is just me but I have an issue of LastFM only playing 1 track and then stopping and locking up MP at the same time.

    I pretty sure this was a issue before but jumping the 1st track seemed to solve it...not any more, well not for me.

    I have done some tesing at this happens on 3 seperate installs on MP and this plugin...enable Pure Audio LastFM/MP dies and disable all is fine.

    Pure Audio is a must have for me as have a lot of DTS music and the inbuilt ASIO support stopped worksing ages back!

    I get round it currently by manually disabling the plugin when I want to use Last|FM, in reality this means it is disabled most of the time :)

    If possible a soloution might me to fall back to the internal player of the active module is LastFM.

    Using MP V1.0 / Beta 2 of this plugin / ASIO4ALL V2.8 / Gigabyte MB with Realtec ALC883

    Thanks for any help suggestions

    Hello,
    Sorry but I dont know anything about ASIO, I am wondering:
    - if I am using SPDIF pass thought to my receiver. Is useful to install this ASIO plugin?
    - if you install ASIO4ALL. Is still useful to install Pure Audio plugin?

    Thank you very much in advance ;-)
