With Kodi, you choose thr Wasapi driver right within Kodi. I'm assuming with VLC you do the same. Check in that drop-down for a different device
I don't see anywhere in VLC where it talks about drivers.I hope others chime in, but if you bitstream through most drivers they change the stream because they go through the sound mixer. The Wasapi driver avoids that and it passes streams bit perfect. It should be available to use. My guess is you would choose it somewhere in VLC
No I'm just making sure you have bitstreaming enabled.....by having the hdmi output set. Not really to do with drivers.Ah, so that's talking about drivers. Terminology.....always trips me up, unless it literally says the word. That's how mine is set up.
The only signal mine has (I noticed it during the audio drop outs) is a DIG (assume it means digital) and for sure, when music is correctly playing it's lit up, and when the drop out occurs, it goes off.So do this Gene....Does your AVR have an HDMI indicator that lights up on your front panel?
If so....when you are doing playback via HDMI make sure it's lit up and not e.g. blinking or off.
Then when you get the dropouts, look and see if it's still lit up.
I realize your AVR might not have an indicator....mine does and when it's not on or blinks means there's a handshake issue.
I assume you mean, how is my PC connected to my AVR. Let me double check things. Just a simple, single HDMI going straight from PC to back of my AVR.So apparently it is not a handshake issue, or the light would either blink or go off.
This is a puzzler. What device and hdmi port are you using?
e.g. are you using hdmi port from motherboard or from a video card?
MKVcleaver is he name of the program I think that will rip the thd. But you have to rip a whole album (Atmos) because any track breaks will not be right, even if you rip to individual mkv for each song. That's based on playing them in the Dolby Reference Player. Really picky.I am going to muddy the waters by asking if anyone has successfully ripped to .THD files? I have been experimenting with this instead of .MKV's for Atmos. I am able to rip these tracks separately as many of us desire, using DVD Audio Extractor. I then play them in VLC, but so far have found the tracks don't start or end at the exact point where they should --- based only on mucking with a few titles. Thus, as I continue down this path, curious about the experience from others ripping to THD.
OK just wondering because usually (except I guess some laptops) will have an hdmi port on the motherboard, and if you have a separate gpu (video card) it could have hdmi ports on it as well.I assume you mean, how is my PC connected to my AVR. Let me double check things. Just a simple, single HDMI going straight from PC to back of my AVR.
