Help with DTS / DD 5.1 decoding in VLC

[nexpos]

I've been all over the forums in here, searching for a way to eliminate the studdering of any 5.1/dts audio track when playing a movie. I'm using SPDIF, i have it selected, I have win32 waveout selected. Still studders. This is why I recall not using VLC anymore for a while. I'm using onboard REALTEK HD sound, along with Logitech z-5500 speakers. I'm playing various files with 5.1/dts, and they're all the same.

Any other super advanced explanations/discoveries? I see a ton of people posted about this on here, but nothing works.

I'd really appreciate any help.

THanks!

tried the dirty one, but with no luck. any other ideas? the audio is still choppy. why is it so hard for this player to handle DTS and 5.1, when something like media player classic handles it like it's a joke?

this is really frustrating! anymore help would be appreciated.

thanks

Anyone at all? PLEASE!

Looks like no one has an answer. If anyone out there cares to watch a movie in VLC with DTS or DD 5.1, please let me know how you got it working. Now I'm starting to understand why so many people use MP Classic instead of VLC........

It has already been explained hundreds of times in these pages. It appears that VLC 0.8.2 will not work for you either, so what's left?? This should be obvious at this juncture, it's your audio drivers and you may need to start with the latest and work your way back to something that works but not later than Oct 04 as that's when support for DirectX 9 started. It may also be smart to start with the latest DirectX runtime dated 2/07. The only sound cards known not to work are the Creative Audigy and even these have worked with third party drivers.

These are Realtek HD Audio drivers on an Abit AB9 Pro motherboard from October of last year. I'll see if there are any better drivers.

Thanks.

[nexpos]

Nope, the newest audio drivers still don't work.

I'll just check back at a later date, and maybe VLC will be ready for me.

While there has been talk of rebuilding the s/pdif section nothing is in the works. Simply because there are to few people having issues with it.

I believe just a short time ago there was drivers noted to work with your sound device.

Hi,

nexpos, i had the same problem as you and i corrected it yesterday.
I have removed the motherboard sound driver and I have installed the realtek one.
I think you can try this...

PS: note now the DD 5.1 is ok but not the DTS

I'm also looking for the answer of the problem,thanks for bretelles's method.

We are working on that. Try development versions.

I had a problem with choppy audio/stuttering (some kind of rapid replay of buffered sound, I suppose). It went away after I tweaked the configuration. I'll diff my configs and post the results.

Symptoms/Old config:
* Windows (Vista, XP Media Center, and 2003)
* S/PDIF
* Choppy/stuttering audio with 5.1 (haven't tried DTS)
* Perfect audio with 2 channel S/PDIF
* No video issues (BluRay and DVD video is smooth)
* plenty of horsepower using an E2160 @ 3GHz

After some tuning of VideoLan's config file using the built-in prefs GUI, the 2003 box works perfectly with BluRay and DVDs in 5.1

there are
many reasons to use MP classic
but you can't take away the advantages of VLC
even you can't go back...

Don't take up old threads!

This issue is fixed since a long time with WaveOut output.
