No Audio During Live TV with HD-PVR

[dturkenk]

I've recently set up GB-PVR 1.3.11 with the Hauppauge HD-PVR (using the 1.0.5.031 driver from March 12, 2009) and I'm unable to get sound to work with Live TV.

I've confirmed sound with recorded TV as well as with Live TV if I switch the ArcSoft settings to AAC.

I tried added the <PreferredHDPVRAudioFormat>AC3</PreferredHDPVRAudioFormat> configuration parameter found in this thread but it seems to be ignored.

In my logs, I don't see any request for the PreferredHDPVRAudioFormat, so I'm not sure how it's defaulting to AAC.

I do get some ConnectFilters: Failed(2) when it's loading the HD-PVR:

2009-03-28 17:00:04.377 VERBOSE Adding capture filter: Hauppauge HD PVR Capture Device
2009-03-28 17:00:04.384 ERROR ConnectFilters:Failed(2)

2009-03-28 17:00:04.393 ERROR ConnectFilters:Failed(2)

I've also tried the new NativeUtilities.dll file found here to no avail.

I can work around this for the time being, but my changes in ArcSoft go away each time I reboot, so it would be really nice to find a long-term fix.

Thanks for the help,
Dan

I reinstalled everything and this time did not use the new .DLL file.

Then I added the config parameter and live TV sound worked.

You should compare a patch message's date with the release date. 1.3.11 came out in January so that patch looks to be for an earlier version.
