No Audio on 7Mate, GEM and ONE

[Rocco]

Hi I'm new to NextPVR. So far I like what I see. But...

I'm not getting audio from 3 channels.

First my setup.
New pc - Gigabyte H67A-UD3H-B3 motherboard. Intel i3 2100T cpu. 4G Ram.
Older tuners - Fusion HDTV DVB-t Plus and VisionPlus DTV
OS - Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
NextPVR version 2.1.5
Connected to an LCD TV via HDMI.

Everything went smoothly with little or no problem. Windows Update ran ok. The first drivers I tried for my tuner cards installed alright. NextPVR installed alright. I was able to, right away, watch some of the channels.

But I noticed that those 3 channels had no audio. Messing around with the Decoders settings had no affect. Installed k-lite codec pack didn't work either. I tried recording a channel with no audio but it failed to record. Recording other channels worked. I ran the tv program that comes with the Fusion drivers and that also has no audio on those channels. I disables one and then the other tuner card but the behavior was the same with both tuners.

So it seems to me that I'm not receiving the audio.

Anyone have any suggestions?

BTW, I'm in Melbourne Australia.

Are these broadcasts H.264/HE-AAC ?

Are these broadcasts H.264/HE-AAC ?

I'm not sure. How do I find out?

I'm not sure. How do I find out?

One way is to download a trial version of TSDoctor here : http://www.cypheros.de/tsdoctor_e.html

I'll do that but in the mean time I found out some info. I found someone who said at least 2 of those channels use DD 5.1. I had a look at the Audio streams and all the faulty ones say "AC3" but the ones that work all say "MPEG1". I tried all the Decoders options under "AC3 Audio" but none of them worked.

The Win7 AC3 decoder doesn't work with NPVR but there are several free good ones available like AC3Filter, ffdshow and LAV.

Funnily that did it. They are now working. I assume it's because the TSDoctor installed Halli splitter. I was using the standard version of the k-lite codec pack. It must not install the Halli Splitter. I bet you if I used one of the bigger packages, it would have worked. The standard version added ffdshow and Lav but they didn't work. Now both, do as well as the Microsoft option.

Good good
