JimH:
rpro,
Thanks for the nice detective work.

Just in case it leaves something in the background. I updated my post to link to add Group Policy method after you posted yours BTW.

Widgets.exe is not active. WidgetsService.exe is active.
Monitoring shows no CPU spikes when the audio dropouts occur.
Attached is a Media Center log during one dropout.
I'll try more things tomorrow.

I added some logging to any error conditions in the WASAPI output a while ago (eg. buffer underruns, things like that), but nothing of that shows up in the logs. I could possibly explain video frame drops and have ideas for that, but those audio drop-outs are not something that anything in our system is even measuring.
If we could at least get a handle on when it happens on the software side maybe we could analyze it better - but just the receiver having a drop-out with the software not knowing about it is really not helpful.

Hendrik, I sent you two logs - were you able to review them? Reminder mine is using DirectSound not WASAPI.

Upgraded Radeon drivers to 23.11.1 but that did not help. Had previously stayed on 23.5.2 because newer versions broke Atmos and DTS-X, but that has been fixed.
Tried back to version 30.0.15 the problem exists there too.
Strange that it's only on this one system, both my clients have identical graphics cards. The difference is the connected AVR and TV.
I just turn off bitstreaming for normal use. Not sure what else to test for, but might think of something. Maybe reinstall the OS or try Windows 10.
