Are any of you using an onboard Soundmax chip - AD1980 or similiar? There is a problem with the drivers and SP2 which causes a similiar problem to what you're experiencing - only through SPDIF though.

I've narrowed down my problem with timeshifting (check my other threads) to the drivers for the Soundmax. There are workarounds for this, changing drivers (realtek ones instead of soundmax) and reverting back to the portcls.sys that came with SP1 (v5.1.2600.1106).

Google 'soundmax spdif' and you'll see what I'm talking about .....

I'm getting a similar problem but it only occurs when using the DVD feature. As soon as I hit DVD on the main menu, the wav volume automatically goes all the way down. This doesn't happen in any other mode such as watching recorded shows or .avi files from video library. I'm not using spdif and it doesn't happen when i ff or rwd.... i'm just using my onboard nvidia nforce audio controller.

I am experiencing this problem also, with the latest release, 98.13.

When playing either a video recording or DVD, going from FF/RW back to play causes complete loss of audio, which can only be restoring by stopping play and restarting. Going from Pause back to play causes no problem.

This is quite annoying, since FF/RW is a pretty basic function, and on the Remote Wonder Plus that I am using, there doesn't appear to be any key mapped to the skip functions.

Sub,

I just installed 99.15, and this issue appears to be resolved now.

I'm not sure what changed, but I now have no problem using the FF/RW, with short skip disabled.

Thanks,
Don P.

It works for me with standard recordings, but not with HD. At least least it does not kill the sound.

dpeterk, did you mean ver. 99.05? You say the loss of volume after fast fwd or rwd doesn't occur now?
