Note - because you have your spdif connection set as default in windows, u will notice i have the default direct sound device checked in mediaportal and in ffdshow audio, this seemed to work the best. ie if your using a different video codec. Then just take a look at the below screen shots, and make sure you have them setup the same, changing where needed. the setup.įIRST, set the spdif connection your using in your control panel as the default audio connection. and to my amazement EVERYTHING WORKED IN PERFECT HARMONY! no more studdering due to audio video sync, and the ability to playback dts-hd/ma sources and have the dts core PROPERLY extracted and passed through to the receiver via SPDIF. So after literally days of trying stuff i finally went counter intuitive and used ffdshow tryout beta 7, which is a build from 2009!.

when you try and pass through a dts-hd / ma source it causes the crash or inability to play the video we are experiencing. On the later versions of FFDshow audio codec, where you have the actual ability to passthrough dts-hd / dolby true hd. and this seems to be where the problem arises.

the latest ffdshow dxva video decoder is damn good and just about the same as efficiency as CoreAVC when playing dxva stuff, BUT, with the ffdshow dxva video decoder, you also have to install the later generation of FFDshow audio decoder. plus the ability to use nvidia cuda acceleration on ANY video file that uses coreavc, not just properly encoded dxva files. The reason i use coreavc is IMO, its by far the best as far as being efficient. FFDSHOW TRYOUT BETA 7 - this is the magical ffdshow that does proper dts core extraction from dts-hd and dts-ma.Core AVC 2.0.0.0 (although you can use what ever video codec you like).which pissed me off, and subsequently made me try and figure this out. the encode from dts to dolby digital played with speaker levels. i dont like extra processing of any audio or video source when its already perfectly fine in its first form. The way SAF4 and 5 did it was do re-encode every audio source into dolby digital, which 1.

I would still like to be able to use the old ffdshow audio, and the new DXVA ffdshow video decoder.

so much so that i have created a full image backup of my htpc incase something does go wrong ahha. u can not believe how much time i have spent over the past coupla days trying to get this to work. which is pointless and messes with sound levels.Īlso note my above config works LIKE A CHARM as well with DTS-HD tracks, down to the DTS core spdif. or i can enable the AC3 encoder, and it will reencode the DTS into AC3. With the stable beta 7, i can uncheck DTS passthrough, and it does what it should, play over pcm stereo. It really seems like the later versions of ffdshow, including the one in SAF 4 or 5, as well as the latest SVN builds of tryouts (aka any ffdshow audio that has checkboxes for more than AC3 and DTS passthrough) seem to actually break anything regarding DTS passthrough.

Yes, with my above configuration i can play the entire avatar movie smooth as butter the whole way through with PERFECT DTS core audio passthrough.
