It will pass signal without Wasapi, it just won't pass Atmos metadata.I've never changed any advanced settings in VLC, for years now, to pass anything over HDMI. Nothing. NADA.

Once again, I've never had to do anything to enable wasapi in VLC. Neither has anyone else I've heard about. That's what this is all about, right? Setting some advanced settings in VLC? Utter BS.It will pass signal without Wasapi, it just won't pass Atmos metadata.
I'm just telling like I see it, in years of experience with VLC and and streaming via HDMI. If you have a solution for Gene, please do offer it up, and I will accept the outcome cheerfully and be happy for him.PCs come in an infinite number of varieites and configurations, so what works flawlessly for you might not work for someone else, so it's wise to eliminate points of failure, like VLC possibly trying to use something other than WASAPI by default due to GOS's configuration being different than yours. Not sure why you're being so aggressive toward people trying to offer legitimate help (it's not my job to "prove you wrong") so I'm going to bow out here, enjoy revelling in your correctness.
Worth a try. I use it all the time for video and just for listening to Atmos albums. It's like VLC but a bit more bleeding edge. It's very flexible with which codecs you want to have and use, but just downloading it from the link I shared is the simplest and will have all the functionality you need.Never heard of it.
Yeah, I'm not proving anything. I don't even use VLC.Once again, I've never had to do anything to enable wasapi in VLC. Neither has anyone else I've heard about. That's what this is all about, right? Setting some advanced settings in VLC? Utter BS.
Atmos plays just fine in VLC without advanced finagling. Prove me wrong.
I agree. There is some initial setup pain with Kodi, but Homer's "how to" makes it doable with little expertise needed. Plus he always seems to have a solution when something goes wrong. He's got a setup now that reliably runs Kodi off of a $50 firestick.I used to use VLC for Atmos files via passthrough from my PC>hdmi>Onkyo and it worked most of the time. But of course I needed to hear Abbey Road. At the advice of HomerJAU I tried the same setup with Kodi and it worked with zero issues for both Beatles titles. I don't mean to threadcrap but I wanted to chime in with my experience.

It was enabled, and yes, there was a save button, which I pushed.My last suggestion is to check the settings you previously made and be sure the Wasapi driver is enabled and there wasn't some save button you had to press to keep the setting.
Holy Cow! I downloaded this MPC-HC media player, and right out of the gate, it's playing all my files perfectly. Even the 4 titles that have been giving me fits on VLC. Additionally, it is handling my Auro-3D ripped titles and activates Auro-3D on my AVR.Have you tried using MPC-HC? I never use VLC anymore.
And, unlike Windows Media Player, this can skip to next song from a single MKV file.Holy Cow! I downloaded this MPC-HC media player, and right out of the gate, it's playing all my files perfectly.

Mind blown.
Just so you know..... There's also a version of 'media player classic' called MPC-BE :}Holy Cow! I downloaded this MPC-HC media player, and right out of the gate, it's playing all my files perfectly.

It did. lolOk, here is the true test. I've had a few beers, let's go back to my theater room and see if this media player really works. lol
My guess is that the drop-outs are due to a buffer overrun, happens here on occasion.Strangely, Atmos titles purchased and downloaded all play fine, so far. Rush, Signals plays fine (my rip). Kiss Destroyer plays fine (my rip). I'll try others today and see if any present issues. Maybe it's just the Beatles 2 titles. That would be odd.
