    What media playback software?

    It doesn't use any windows decoder - I'm running WASAPI which sends the signal untouched to the avr. There is no processing done on the part of my PC. The problem is twofold - I'm nitpicky, and Dolby PLiix. I've deduced from some letters to Dolby labs I tracked down ( I can't find their...

    Thanks for the advise, but unfortunately ffdshow isn't running in my task tray. I'm running Frodo v 12.2 with it's new AE " Audio Engine " software. I'm not sure if it still uses FFDshow, are you running Eden? This is the AE info: http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=AudioEngine I'm sure...

    It's HDMI, so it's multi channel PCM I think. I'm pretty sure it's just a difference of the way the receiver is picking it up, so the difference of the stereo track being decoded via the avr through wasapi bitstream allows it to use the PLiix processing - and the output to all speakers is...

    I've got my crossovers set at 80 and speakers set to small, with everything calibrated via Auddesey MultiEQ. I don't think it has anything to do with my crossovers. When outputting from XBMC I use WASAPI for bitperfect audio, which I'm sure you know bypasses any decoding on the part of...

    Well no, there is bass there, but when in WASAPI there doesn't seem to be a lot of it. It's definitely there though. I've tried dl'ing foobar and music bee both with wasapi enabled, and there is no improvement over XBMC. When I set to output to all speakers ( 7.1 ) in XBMC the AVR...

    Do you actually have any experience with XBMC? I've noticed that the bass when played back in wasapi bitstream to my AVR isn't very deep, where as if I switch it to " output stereo to all speakers " the bass becomes huge - my subwoofers basically output twice as much. Problem is I enjoy...

    What media playback software?

    Older post I know, but I just thought I'd give a thumbs up to XBMC. I fell in love with it the minute I installed it. It's so customizable! My movie and music library has never looked so darned good. There's so many bells and whistles included, I'm sure I've barely scratched the surface of...
