How to config ffdshow/LAV and reclock for HD audio,

[whurlston]

I suppose whurlston will give the response since he is the guy (his nick is vladd on avs forum) who makes Arcsoft hack.
Really i don't remember how to do since i don't use it for some time.

For the ArcSoft renderer, you should just be able to register the ax file but I could be wrong (I can't remember the filename at the moment. ASRenderer.ax or something like that.)

If that doesn't do it, my guide for using TMT 3 filters is located at http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showpost.php?p=16122928&postcount=316

[rica]

What about the regular ReClock config settings? Are you only required to change the settings in the red boxes for this to work properly? Again, I changed everything to mirror your settings exactly so I can't really find out on my own.

I hope i'm going to update my first post late in the night today.

No problem. Thanks for alerting me to it. I've been AWOL lately due to work and other projects.

Thanks again whurlston :thanks:

Did you ever get Cyberlink (PDVD9) filters to work? Specifically, for decoding DTS-HD audio. I seem to recall you did.

[Andy o]

Rica, why do you say this on the first post?
Ati 57**, 58** users don't use Realtek drivers,
Ati 56** users, you should use Realtek or specific Ati drivers.

My understanding is that all 5000 cards behave the same with the same HDMI audio driver.

Thanks andy, i've corrected as:

Ati 5*** series users: i'd advise you not to use Realtek but original Ati drivers.

Just a short noobish question, running WinXP here since I want to keep my HTPC as light as possible. Reading this topic it's only about Vista/7. I suppose all this nice stuff is impossible in XP?

WASAPI doesn't work with XP. Kernel streaming does this job with XP..
I can not check if Reclock automatically selects Kernel option instead of WASAPI on XP OS.
If so give it a go with Kernel. But i'm not sure if the HW is gonna support kernel btw?

[rahzel]

Thanks for updating the guide, rica. I have a few questions now.

1) I remember you saying this:Hi rahzel,

I'm about to update my first post.

Maybe tomorrow or the day after.

You are gonna able to get bitsream or bitperfect streaming with ReClock without changing anything on inline config.
But I thought it was necessary to make those changes in the inline config to achieve bitperfect streaming (like slave reference clock to audio, lock it at original speed etc.,)?

2) May I ask what's wrong with the Realtek drivers? I have a Radeon 5450. I'm asking because I have the Realtek ones installed right now and wondering if I need to switch.

3)I noticed you added a method for bitstreaming via WASAPI and Wave Out mode. For TrueHD/DTS-HD MA bitstreaming, which method is best? If I understand correctly, using WASAPI mode will allow you to use ReClock for bitstreaming, so is this the best method? Isn't it good to use ReClock whenever possible?

4) I thought I had everything working properly. Bitstreaming works as I get the indicator lights on my AVR. But I'm not sure about FLAC. I decided to make sure using GraphEdit, and mine doesn't say that's it's using ReClock renderer but Default DirectSound instead, however there's a yellow reclock icon in the directsound box. Weird thing is, when I right click the MPC HC screen and check filters, it says it's using ReClock Audio Renderer.

will post pics in a sec

First here's FLAC (don't mind the refresh rate, I have it in 60Hz now just to show):

And here's bitstream via WASAPI mode:
http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/585/bitstream.pnng (http://img210.imageshack.us/i/bitstream.png/)

Sorry for the noobish questions. I'm fairly new to this.

[rica]

Hi,

I never advise Realtek drivers since i've had issues with some applications. But if you are happy with them, why not?

Both WASAPI and WaveOut methods give bitstreaming over ReClock.
Those are alternative ways for bitstreaming.
But if you are asking what i'm using for bitstreaming, i prefer to use directsound (no ReClock) in bitstreaming.

BTW all the methods are used via Default direct sound on GraphEdit, i mean ReClock is used over DirectSound Device (in case wave out, wasapi); no doubt :)
But it is ReClock for sure. (You wouldn't see any yellow clock icon on Default DirectSound Device window if it wasn't used by Reclock.)

Edit:
Just saw tis:

For bitperfect streaming: YES.

[rahzel]

Thanks. So everything is working as it should? Wonder why my graph looks different than yours.

Lastly, is there any reason why you prefer directsound for bitstreaming? Is it just a preference thing, or is there something that makes directsound better? I thought in order to ensure that you have jitter free video etc., is by using reclock as the renderer?

Yes, everything is working as it should.

Don't remember what i used. maybe graphstudio or graphedit.
I think you have to update your graphedit.
Another thing: i connected to remote graph while MPC was working; so you saw online screencaps.

No need to use Reclock (even author James doesn't advise it) for bitstreaming if you don't have to.
For instance if you have Clarkdale but you don't have MEI installed, ReClock bitstreaming is an obligation with ArcSoft TMT3/170.

[rahzel]

Yeah, I might have an older version. I just grabbed the first one I saw when I googled "graphedit".

edit: got the newest version and still the same thing. Oh well, I'm assuming it's working properly.

Thanks a lot. You've been a huge help.

[rahzel]

Ahh... this is kind of bugging me. If it says it's using ReClock audio renderer in MPC HC when I'm streaming FLAC, it must be, right? When bitstreaming via directsound mode, MPC HC also correctly says it's using default directsound device. When I open a movie with TrueHD or DTSHD MA in graphedit, the directsound device also has a reclock logo just like it does for FLAC (like the pic above). I'm willing to believe what MPC HC tells me over what graphedit is telling me, but I just find it odd that graphedit is displaying what it is. It's making me feel uncertain that I am in fact getting bit-perfect FLAC streaming.

Don't feel yourself uncertain; graphedit wouldn't tell you the truth always but your AVR's blue light does:)

I don't think it's advisable to bitstream with Clarkdale at all, since it doesn't do 23.976, only 24.000. So it's one of those cases where ReClock's resampling is needed for smooth playback.

But this is assuming you want 23.976 playback, correct? I have never tried to play my BR rips at 23.976, I just use whatever default setting my tv uses (My Panny has an option for 23.976 but seems like too much work to have to switch to this every time I want to play back at this fps). Honestly not even sure what the benefit is of trying to play back at 23.976, I have no issues with smooth playback currently.

[Andy o]

Are you running your TV at 60 Hz? Or 59.97 Hz maybe?

[dbone1026]

Are you running your TV at 60 Hz? Or 59.97 Hz maybe?

Honestly no clue, I assume it is 59.97 Hz. I have the Panasonic 58PZ800U. It has a 23.976fps mode, but if you want this you have to manually switch to (which I never did, I heard there were flicker issues with t his model tv).

I had been eyeing the 800u series just for this feature, but at the end waited and got a Pioneer instead. I got a bit worried about the reports of 48 Hz mode flickering, but actually the movies at the theater also exhibit flicker (many projectors are also run at 48 Hz). Anyway, if you're running 60 or 59 Hz the dropped/repeated frames might be less visible, I'm not sure how 2:3 pulldown works here, but I assume if it needs to repeat a frame it would be something like 2,3,3,2,3,2,3... which would be pretty unnoticeable.

[rahzel]

hey rica,

when bitstreaming through reclock, why not use directsound instead of WASAPI? Or in other words, why not use directsound WITH reclock when bitstreaming? Right now I'm trying out this config:
Bistream: Directsound
Accept Bitstream formats: Checked
Disable media speed correction with bitstream audio: Unchecked

And it seems to be working ok.

[rica]

No it gives only LPCM to me. (No sound btw)

I'm on Clarkkdale+nVidia combo. (dunno what happens with Ati?)



And as you know: (from slysoft forum)

My advice is clear:

Direct sound for bitstream of THD, DTS-HD (without ReClock)
or
WASAPI with ReClock (for bitexact) with slave reference clock and original speed selected.

I always prefer Haali for PCM or Flac and MPC-Gabest for bitstream.

[rahzel]

edit: nm, TrueHD doesn't work this way.

I have a Radeon 5450 with the Realtek drivers. Directsound through Reclock brings up my indicator lights. In the ReClock properties page, it says DSound (bitexact). If this way works for me, is ok to use?

I know what you prefer, and I'm leaning towards setting mine up the same way. I'm just playing around with different configs ATM. When I use WASAPI, sometimes my AVR and HTPC lose connection for the audio when I close a movie (windows sound effects don't work) so I tried DSound through ReClock and it seems to work.

Two ways i'd advise for bitstream:

1) DirectSound without ReClock,
2) WaveOut with ReClock.

With original Ati drivers...

_ _ _ _

[rahzel]

Thanks, I'll give Waveout a try.

As for drivers, I still haven't experienced any problems with the Realtek drivers. When I used the ATI drivers with my XP machine (using Win 7 now) I've experienced a small delay in the sound to start. For example, when I start a movie, it would take a second or so for the audio to kick in. This small delay made windows sound effects (like the small clicks when you go back and forward etc.,) sometimes not even play. Since then, I've always preferred the Realtek ones.

[rahzel]

After trying several different configs, on my particular setup, I think bitstreaming through ReClock with WaveOut is the best setup. With DirectSound without ReClock, I notice several dropped frames on certain movies. When bitstreaming through ReClock with media speed correction enabled, I noticed some dropped audio frames (again, only with certain movies). With Bitstreaming through ReClock with media speed correction disabled, I don't notice nearly as many dropped and I have yet to notice a dropped audio frame.

As for FLAC, right now I have it setup for bit-exact streaming. Until I notice dropped video frames, I'm going to keep it this way for now.

Thx for the feedback.
And pls give us screencaps of your bitstream and pcm/flac configs.

Hi,

Here is the latest build of Solveig MM mkv Splitter; you may prefer this for mkv files:
PCM (with Waveout)
THD
DTSHD-MA
works very well and no seeking issues.

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=1403736#post1403736

Unselect mkv under "internal filters" in MPC-HC and select and prefer Solveig under "external filters".

Here is my latest ReClock config:

Is there no other way to get proper 24P playback without dropping bitstream frames or reencoding them? I don't get how Blu-ray playback can have smooth 24P and not have to reencode the bitstream audio whilst playing back the same thing from a computer involves reencoding the bitstream audio or dropping frames (Or having to use multi-channel FLAC to avoid the lossy issue).

Maybe I just don't understand how bitstreaming works, but what the heck does the framerate have to do with the audio stream? Audio isn't processed in "frames".

Oh wait, are you asking how you can output 24 fps video smoothly to a 60 Hz display when using bitstream audio? Blu-Ray players don't do this, they output at 24 Hz - many HDTV's accept 24 Hz input signals. Then there is no need for smoothing.

My computer/TV supports this too, I just can't be bothered to switch it between 60 and 24/48 Hz refresh rate, so I just leave it at 60 as I play a lot of games.

[oddball]

Well if I play DTS or AC3 with ReClock loaded I get dropped frames according to ReClock but then I also get glitches in audio playback (Because ReClock is correcting the media playback I guess). I can hear those dropped frames.

Without ReClock I get glitchy video. ReClock gives me smooth 24P playback so is essential for that to work on my setup. The only option I have found to avoid glitchy audio as well is to allow ffdshow to decode DTS and AC3 to multi-channel PCM audio then let ReClock correct and reencode it to AC3 output to my reciever.

Yes, reclock changes the speed of the video, and therefore has to change the speed of the audio. You can't bitstream when you are changing the speed of the audio. As you have discovered, you would be better off decoding the AC3/DTS through software, then reclock can change the speed of the audio.

That's why in Rica's first post he has reclock setup to sync to the audio speed - however, in this mode you are not getting smooth video playback.

Why don't you just change your refresh rate on your video output to 48 or 24 hz? You'd probably save yourself some pain.

So if I have a successfully installed MEI driver, Reclock is not needed to pass untouched audio to my AVR. If I am following this guide do I omit all Reclock steps? And will I still get what is mentioned in the beginning of this guide:

So the aim is to get LPCM passthrough and to get bitstreaming for the other lossy, lossless SD and HD audio formats over ffdshow.

"After the configuration you will get:

LPCM,
Flac, THD,
DTSHD-MA,
DD+ (haven't checked yet so not sure for now)

I suppose it's clear.

You may use ReClock in LPCM bitperfect streaming or not.(if you don't need bitperfect streaming, you don't need ReClock)

You don't need ReClock for bitstreaming as well.

And this thread has been designed for ffdshow using under MPC-HC gui. Not for the commercial players. (but i will add additional info for them later btw.)

BTW, MEI is only needed for TMT and PDVD on Clarkdale. Corel WDVD or MPC-HC doesn't need MEI at all.

I have to correct my mistake:

Also with MPC-HC on Seven.

Strange thing is MPC-HC seems to accept MPCAudio renderer selected under Output option but always prefers Default Direct Sound device.

Today i gave it a go again and registered MPCAudioRendererFilter.ax under standalone filters of MPC and later selected MPC Audio Renderer again on Output option. It worked this time.

BTW guys:

proppage.dll is for linking to the remote graph of the player application. (you can't see the playing graph behind the application without this on Vista/Seven.)
DirectShowSpy.dll is for needed for MPC can recognize the external filters without any issue.

You may register all dlls and ax'es with this small tool by DAvenger and Radscorpion.

Radlight Filter Manager:

http://www.videohelp.com/tools/RadLight_Filter_Manager

Register MPCAudioRendererFilter.ax
Register proppage.dll and DirectShowSpy.dll

(don't forget to open Radlight with "run as admin" option)

And you will be able to connect MPCAudio renderer to ffdshow on GraphStudio and MPC-HC.

This is the same problem I have been unable to resolve. Asus Xonar HDAV 1.3 slim here w/Onkyo TX-SR805. FFDshow won't connect to any audio renderers even though it is set up to bitstream. If I tell reclock to accept bitstream it just gets 6 ch PCM from ffdshow for DTS HD MA even though ffdshow claims it's outputting bitstreamed DTS HD MA.

[lostclusters]

I have just finished setting up a HD HTPC using this guide. I too set everything up as shown and got no sound. After four days of altering settings/troubleshooting I have both TMT3 .180 and MPC-HC working providing video, untouched compressed audio (DST-HD MA ...), and 24 bit LCPM audio to my AVR. What I ended up with was pretty much the settings recommended here. What made the difference for me was testing the pieces first before assembling it all. MPC-HC should pretty much play anything as is. Then work in your external filters. Then disable everything else the guide shows. I can use MPC-HC hardware accelerated (DXVA) with 1-5% useage or plain software (FFmeg, my Preference) with 18-35% useage. I found I had no sound using Solveig mkv Splitter. Then add ffshow and reclock. As soon as I can get everything together I will post my screen shoots. I am still trying to verify 24 bit audio with bitsteaming. Technically speaking if it is bitstreamed it can not be anything but what the source is because nothing on your system can open that stream, but ... I get 16 bits when I use Graphstudio and look at the properties of each block of the graph. LCPM shows as 24 bits. 24 bits padded to 32 has a difference of 8 bits. The difference between 16 and 24 bits is 8 bits. I am not sure if that means anything but it is interesting all the same.

If I tell reclock to accept bitstream it just gets 6 ch PCM from ffdshow for DTS HD MA even though ffdshow claims it's outputting bitstreamed DTS HD MA.

As i told before you must use ArcsoftAudioRenderer with your Xonar.
If you are living issues with selecting it as an external filter on MPC, just register DirectShowSpy.dll and give it a go again.

Somehow I missed you saying that? Well that brings up a different issue. When I try to use Arcsoft's audio decoder my framerate drops to like one frame per second...
