Some movies freezing are because of Win32DirectSound - motty666 - 2008-09-05

Hi guys,
I'm using Atlantis 4 and it works great with 99% of my movies. It is really impressive how it plays perfectly almost everything you throw at it.

However I have a couple of xvid and divx that are consistently freezing after 2-3 seconds.
For those movies the debug log shows a problem with win32directsound :

I first thought of a driver problem but I compared the log with a "working" movie and the secondary stream buffer is created correctly:

The audio codec and other sound device parameters are different...
I'm going to check whether all the movies that are freezing use codec id 86020. Also, the freezing movies are playing fine in media player classic so I don't think it's a problem with the movies...

I'm using a SoundMAX integrated sound card.

Anyone else has seen this problem? Should I open a bug for this issue?

Otherwise, XBMC for windows rocks!! Big Grin

Thanks!

the codec id isn't used to create the sound buffer but could be an indication. The only difference is then the pass-through mode which is used for creating the primary buffer (which works).
The error message indicates that a feature is requested what your sound card doesn't support. Honestly I can't see what it should be since both sound formats look valid for me.

Setting back the audio output to analog seems to have solved my problem.
Thanks
