WASAPI can't play DTS files (1 Viewer)

Description
Hi all,

i can't play DTS 24/96 music files in wasapi mode (it works only in dshow)

is this bug or a missing feature?
there is a way to make just dts files playing in dshow automatically and let other formats play in wasapi mode ?
or, from my pov would be the best, is it possible to pass through directly to the receiver (by hdmi) the formats it can decode and let other playing in wasapi ?
thank you for any help
attached logs

Steps to Reproduce:
go to music section,
browse folders until find a dts 96/24 file
start the 96/24 dts music file

Could you please send a sample of the file. I can test for you.
I Presume its 24bit and 96hz DTS right?

 

[mrmojo666]

yes, you are right.

the sample is on the way

 

[edterbak]

Got it. Testing

 

[edterbak]

OK, Tested.

I played a number of files without problems.
Your file gives me the following image.



Translation:"Unable to play file: 15 We..."
Do you see the same?

MP settings are:
Wasapi - Exclusive mode
Fadein/out 0 and disabled
Volume 100%
Extentions present: .ac3 .dts .flac .wav etc...

In windows audiosettings:
Enabled exclusive mode
DTS/AC3 enabled
Outputs 41/44/96/192khz enabled

You still need to way to communicate with the audio HW, which WASAPI exaxctly is. There is no point in writing audio HW specific drivers in an HTPC application.

BASS_ERROR_FILEFORM 41 Unsupported file format

i found also that

http://www.un4seen.com/forum/?topic=14832.msg103083#msg103083

Bass because of copyright issues will not support DTS

that means it won't be supported at all i suppose.

may propose to add automatic fall back to dshow player when error 41 is raised ?

thank you

@tourettes,

I have a Xonar DX sound card which produces DTS sound.
This is in the manual:

Xonar users do have this license?
