Recently audio from WMC has been coming out garbled and delayed. I only watch via Extenders - Ceton Echos and Xbox 360. Symptoms are not localized to any extender. Have updated Intel Graphics and Display Audio drivers to their latest versions - no change. Have switched Dolby Digital bitstreaming on and off - again, no change.
Any ideas? I'm at the end of my rope and increasingly infuriated once more at how fragile WMC is and at the utter lack of usable replacements available for it.
Garbled audio?

Not sure if this will help or not, but I had audio problems shortly before my power supply bit the dust. If you have any way of testing it, check the power supply. If not, buy a USB audio device (can't be all that expensive) and see if that is any better.
Is your current audio part of your motherboard or an add-on card?
I have found Media Center under Windows 7 to be very stable

Neither - the only playback I'm doing is via Extenders. The PC itself simply works as a backend. Onboard, there are drivers installed for audio via HDMI and via the motherboard's built-in sound card (some Realtek flavor).DanH wrote:Not sure if this will help or not, but I had audio problems shortly before my power supply bit the dust.

Meanwhile, the situation has deteriorated: sound is now randomly dropping out completely, across all TVs.
Anyway. Thanks for chiming in.

As for WMC - all I can say is, you're one of the lucky ones.
