Try setting audio volume to Internal.  Check the Windows mixer volumes.  One may be set down.

But if you're using bitstreaming, everything should be processed by the AVR.  Would be worth trying without.

You mentioned audio drifting.  If you're using bitstreaming, JRiver isn't involved.  Otherwise, take a look at VideoClock on the wiki.

This topic has been moved to JRiver Media Center 32 for Windows.

You can edit the variable named v_MAX_AUDIO_CODECS in the template which will show the codecs of multiple tracks (DD, DTS, etc.), however, it currently will still only show the channels icon for the first track.

Also I am not sure how this posted under third party.   Can we move it to the correct locaion?

Hey Jim,

The HTPC is connected directly to my Sony AVR with a HDMI cable.  Under Tools>Options>Audio the volume is set to "System Volume" and under that Max volume 100 and startup volume -1.   The volume at the top left is 100% and as for the Audio device currently it is set to Sony - Nvidia HD Audio (WASAPI) and bitstreaming is set to yes(HDMI)

I am using Madvr in JRiver  and from my Sony there is a HDMI cable to my JVC Projector.

Let me know if you need more info and thank you for your time and help.

Yes, thanks, I can see that process doing as you say. The album covers are all present in the library. I assume because MC stores a copy in the default location. But, I accidentally (or should I say, unwisely) deleted all the actual artwork files from 'Images'. I have them still on one external backup drive. Shouldn't I be concerned that these are kind of essential for eventualities down the road, or at least peace of mind?

So.....can I copy back from an external drive all the artwork files (covers really) to the PC, into some logical location? The album cover files on the external drive are located with the albums, not in a separate place where they can easily be copied over.

Another way to explain this is that only a fraction of my album covers show up in C:\User\User\Roaming\JRiver\Media Center 28\Cover Art\ even though all the album covers show up in Library View. I have those album cover files on another drive (removable external backup). How do I restore the actual album cover files from that drive?

I'd buy a new drive.  They aren't expensive.  Or use another machine, just to test, if available.

Your description sounds like something other than MC is having trouble.

MC can't "dork" the OS.  A driver can.

Is MC directly connected to the AVR?  HDMI, USB?

MC has several volume settings.  Click on the volume icon in the upper left corner to see them. 

If you're controlling volume with another device, set MC to full volume. 

Can you be more specific about your setup?

I spent some time organizing and getting MC setup the way I wanted this past weekend.

I have 2 questions here that I am trying to figure out.   With audio out I want all audio to just passthrough just as it was recorded and let my AVR do the processing.   What I have noticed is this, when using my Zidoo or ATV with the same movie and I set the AVR to the same volume that the sound that is coming from JRiver is really quiet and low compared to other streaming devices.  Granted I know the ATV doesn't do bit streaming but the Zidoo does and the result is the same with it.  In audio settings I have tried my NVidia wasapi and nvidia default neither makes a difference and I do have bitstreaming selected.  What should I be using?

The 2nd issue that I am finding is when I start a movie with JRiver in the very beginning the audio is in sync find but the longer the movie plays the more out of sync the audio gets which makes it hard to offset this with the AVR.  Does anyone know why it does this and how I can fix it?

I am sorry to say still having major problems. it was fine briefly other than artwork and playlists and that I can work with. Now every time I go into MC32 I am asked "Do you want to allow changes" I accept and the library loads but cannot see my network player. I try and go back to MC25 and it now does not work at all, attempts conn several times then get "error loading library". Obviously, I am not knowledgeable with computer usage but have always managed to struggle through. I would really appreciate any advice. The only thing I did when away over the weekend was connect my Bluetooth headphones to play MC32. I still have that connection and have since added another bluetooth speaker so MC32 is there ok. Somehow I lost the connection to my network player. I have restarted a few times. On laptop when in "Bluetooth and devices" I see the headphones and speaker under audio and below it my Network player in "other devices" but not connected.
