Help - I keep losing audio

[andonato]

I've run into an issue that I'm having trouble with. First let me say that my system had been working flawlessly for quite a while. I am running GBPVR 1.0.8.

Then a week or so ago, I noticed that the audio would fail on me on my second and subsequent selections. That is, I can start up GBPVR and watch a show and the audio will be just fine, but if I go back to the main menu and select another show the audio will be gone.

The only way to get the audio back is to exit out of GBPVR and restart it. Needless to say, this is annoying. I've tried the various audio decoder and renderer options, but nothing has worked. Is it possible that some crucial system file got deleted or updated? (I haven't updated my system since this started happening, btw).

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Reproduce the problem, then zip and attach the pvrx2.exe.log and pvrx2.exe-native.log and I'll take a look.

Thanks. I think I've attached what you need.

There is certainly something funny about your audio decoders. It seems to be trying to use two, probably because the one you've chosen in the config app is unable to do the job for some reason. This extra audio decoder probably leads to eventual problems.

Hmm, interesting. Thanks for the diagnosis...anyone have any tips as to how I can rectify the problem? I suppose the problem might be with the nero decoder. However, it doesn't show up in the config app as an option, so I can't deselect it. There also doesn't seem to be any other (obvious) way to access settings for it. Again, thanks in advance.

Try installing this audio decoder and selecting it in the config app:

That did the trick. Thanks a bunch.
