I recently loaded XBMC on 2 different HTPC's of mine, Kodi 14.0 in particular. One HTPC uses a GeForce GT610 card and bit streams DTS-HD/True-HD just fine. The other uses an older ATI Radeon 5450 card and is all kinds of quirky. It passes Dolby Digital fine but for DTS-HD and True-HD, the receiver sees it as "multi-channel PCM". This happens for both an Onkyo HT receiver as well as an Emotiva Pre-processor.
The 5450 can pass DTS-HD/True-HD as it worked fine previously when I used FFDShow along with Media Player Classic.
In the XBMC audio settings I have it set to WASAPI - 5450's HDMI, although I have tried all of the other options as well. I have selected DTS-HD, etc... capable receiver (all formats) but no luck -> it does play, but the receiver and processor don't recognize the High Def audio streams.
1) Is Kodi 14.0 too new/buggy and I should try an older version?
2) Is the 5450 just too old and I should boot it for something more modern (or go back to FFDShow)?
This is my first foray into XBMC and I really like it.
