Hi all,
I have some DFF DSD files. They do not play back over S/PDIF. Over HDMI they get transcoded and stutter. Once playback is stopped, the UI sounds then lag behind massively until I play something non-PCM, which sorts it. Very strange, is DSD playback supposed to work or is it not supported?
That and the stuttering suggests they are being decoded to a high PCM samplerate. You could try setting audio output to āFixedā and a samplerate of 48k at least as an experiment. If that doesnāt point to a solution, please post some debug logs.
On fixed and best match this seems to work. Thanks!
Is there a way to get 24/96 out of this unit btw?
You were using Optimised before? Never recommended.
TBH I donāt know what Kodi transcodes to by default. Vero is certainly capable of 24/96. What happens if you choose Fixed and 96k?
Edit: bear in mind that 24bits may not be signalled as such when playing stereo through HDMI, see here
Edit2: I just checked and we are signalling 24 bits now.
Actually nevermind, it is still having the issue playing the file.
On this topic, is it possible to limit playback to a certain bit rate for PCM without having it in fixed mode?
Not sure what you mean exactly. Thereās bit depth that could technically be limited as well as sample rate - those two are relevant for PCM output. Bit rate is what you have as the data rate of music files themselvesā¦
If youārer referring to bit depth, then no, thereās currently no toggle to limit that to, letās say, 16 bit.
I mean sample rate sorry.
Unfortunately, this is not possible.
