Is Media center really passing audio as is?
bob:
What type of material are you playing and how (local files, push as renderer, etc)?

All FLAC / ALAC files on an NFS mount...
Just out of curiosity, I installed MC 20 on the same device and the MC20 did run quite flawlessly... no lags, 35K librarry files loaded in lesser than 20 minutes, audio played fine while library was being loaded in parallel and overall audio a lot better than on MC22.
The reason why I didn't use MC20 back then was the feeling that the internal DSP processing couldn't be completely bypassed no matter what...
I only wish you could compare playing audio side by side with MPD and you can maybe understand me better...
Yes, it's a given that MPD doesn't have all the processing capabilities bundled with MC, but there should also be an option in MC that allows to completely bypass all DSP processing...
it will really make my day if this can happen, because i will be able to fully justify upgrading my master license from MC20 to MC22...
Thanks for the response anyway...

If the option to configure sample rate on playback error is off and output format is disabled in DSP studio, we aren't doing anything with the data before it's sent to the selected device. The HW: and Front: devices in ALSA go to the device without processing by ALSA.
In the linux code for MC, nothing has changed in the way that's done. I know for sure, I wrote that code.

Yes... spot on... I unchecked output format in DSP studio and can confirm I couldn't tell anymore if it was MPD playing or MC20...
Many many thanks for pointing this out... I always felt leaving no change in the output column meant that aduio was passed along as is... really... thanks a lot...
The next issue is with the license...
I have inserted my master license key but nothing happens, when I click ok the license window just sits there and doesn't do anything

It's probably a certificate error. You could try
sudo update-ca-certificates from the command line then try it again.
If it still doesn't work you can install the license from the command line, search on this forum or the MC 21 forum to find out how..
