Audio stuttering on live tv, video seems ok

[bob808]

I have a xp build on a dual core amd system using onboard nvidia 8200 graphics (hdmi with sound output that has hardware hd video decoding capability).

I have been using mediaportal, but after having some stability issues, I am giving gbpvr a try.

I have scanned my channels (dvb-s/dvb-s2) and can watch live tv.. the channel change is nice and quick compared to MP, but I am getting breakups in the sound which I have never had on MP. They are quite frequent too - and it happens on SD or HD content (seems to be more often on HD) it is like the sound cuts in and out all the time.

Anyone able to suggest what to look at here? I assume its changing the codec, but unlike video there are not that many options to pick from!

Thanks

What audio options are there in the config app? I'd recommend installing/trying AC3 Filter - but then again I'm using optical out to an Amp not the HDMI sound...

Try changing your audio decoder in the configuration program. I had a similar problem for a long time, where audio would occasionally start to break up, then get out of sync with the video. I was using the ffdshow decoder and apparently all it took was for me to update to the latest version of ffdshow--I haven't had a problem since.
