I'm a long-time user of Media Center and I'm hoping that someone can help me on this one, here's the symptom / issue:

In the DSP Module I select the "channels dropdown" and select the 5.1 channels - JRSS 2.0. The anomaly that I'm experiencing in Media Center after doing this selection is that the first track I play works great in "5.1..." and if I manually select another track that also plays great. The issue is that when I create a playlist of play tracks in order...let's say on an entire album, the only track that plays great is the first one, the next one that plays sounds horrible...like the artist is in a tunnel effect. This symptom ONLY happens whenever Media Center "advances" on its own to the next track. If I manually select any track it works fine and I do not get the effect.

Can anyone help on this?

Currently running:

Media Center 11.0.314

Thanks

I had a similar (not the same) problem with a new Sony PC.  It was solved by killing some sound software running in the background.  Sorry I can't remember the details.

Thanks, Jim.

You got me thinking in the right direction. I found that the S/W-based mixer (M-Audio) I use wasn't correctly configured to output those extra signals from the Firewire port on my HTPC that I'm using to send the audio feeds into my Home-Theater component stack. I enabled those ports onto the S/W bus and voila...it works fine.

I also use Cinemar Products (MusicLobby & DVDLobby Pro) as well. Which they promote as being JRiver's Partner.

Cheers,

Neil
