DVD audio missing

[cwineman]

I'm having problems with DVD audio with GBPVR. I can hear audio played from a normal audio CD and I can play DVDs normally with Media Center, but with GBPVR I can see, but not hear them.

I have numerous codecs installed, I'm not sure which ones I should configure GBPVR to use. The latest that I installed was the PureVideo evaluation decoder. It solved a problem I was having with Media Center, but with GBPVR I can see the video, but I can't hear any audio. From this thread on another forum I posted some screen shots that show the different codecs I have installed.

In GBPVR, I have only messed with the DVD configuration tab. Currently, I have Video Decoder and Audio Decoder set to System Default. For Audio Renderer I have tried system default and SoundMax Digital Audio with no luck.

I'm not sure what to try next. Is there some other tab that I need to configure? Sorry, I can't post logs till I get home later. I'm not sure which version of GBPVR either, but I downloaded it a less than 5 days ago, so its probably the latest version.

Try setting the Video Decoder and Audio Decoder to the specific decoder you want to try...

System default sometimes doesnt work well!

Try setting the Video Decoder and Audio Decoder...

I tried that with no luck. I think I tried every option possible for Video Decoder, Audio Decoder, and Audio Renderer. It was exhausting.

I saw a different post where someone had no audio that said that the problem is probably do to some codec .... thing. A conflict of some sort. I unregistered every codec and the registered only the PureVideo codec, but that didn't work either. By "unregistered every codec" I mean that I unregistered using the "regsvr32 /u" command until there weren't any listed from DecCheck. Then I registered the PureVide codec.

I'm out of ideas now. Is it hardware issue? It seems unlikely since I can hear DVD audio using Media Center and WMP. I can also hear audio from GBPVR when watching live TV. But in another forum someone mentioned the wire that normally goes from a CD/DVD drive to the sound card. I don't have one of those. Does that matter?

Any other tricks to try?

What audio decoder options were listed in the config app?

[cwineman]

Here's a screenshot, to save typing.

Other than the DVD config tab, should I need to mess with any of the other tabs to make this work?

I was unregistering MPEG-2 decoders I guess. Maybe I need to do the same thing only with audio decoders listed there. Where can I get a list of the dlls/.ax files for the audio decoders listed there?

Can you reproduce the problem with the nvidia audio decoder selected, then zip and attach the gbpvr.exe-native.log?

[cwineman]

Here you are.

Sorry, I dont know. The logs look ok.

You could try deleting the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Devnz\LastVolume.

[cwineman]

I don't have that registry entry. Should I?

What about this line in the log:

12:53:26.973 VERBOSE getSetting(PreferredDVDAudioRenderer)
12:53:26.988 VERBOSE FindFilterByName failed to locate filter: System Default
12:53:26.988 VERBOSE getSetting(PreferredDVDNavigator)

No, some people dont. I just wanted to check you didnt just have the volume turned down.

What about this line in the log:

12:53:26.973 VERBOSE getSetting(PreferredDVDAudioRenderer)
12:53:26.988 VERBOSE FindFilterByName failed to locate filter: System Default
12:53:26.988 VERBOSE getSetting(PreferredDVDNavigator)

Assuming you've got your DVD audio decoder set to 'system default', then you can safely ignore this.
