At least when playing Blu-ray discs, I cannot get BA to process the audio from Cyberlink PowerDVD. It seems to bypass the pipeline. Any ideas?
Stuart
It processes just fine from Cyberlink PowerDVD when playing DVDs, I use it all the time.
For Blu-ray, I think we have our good friend DRM to thank. The audio is probably bypassing the pipeline for your security! 🙂
Jokes aside, that’s gotta be it. Try playing a DVD in PowerDVD. If the audio then goes through Breakaway, then there’s the answer. 🙁

Hmm. I just tried a DVD and still can’t get the audio into (or out of obviously) Breakaway. The Windows Media Center player will route audio through Breakaway but not PowerDVD.Also, any plans to implement the DPI fix for the personal version?
quote :Also, any plans to implement the DPI fix for the personal version?Absolutely, in fact it’s already implemented in the code 🙂. There’s several other issues I have to fix though. My sister pointed out a whole bunch of usability issues, and I plan to sit down with her and go through them when I’m in Sweden next month, so I should have a new release after that.
One bug I definitely need to get to the bottom of is the "Child process not responding" bug. I still don’t get this one, and I’ve never been able to reproduce it properly, but it seems to happen all the time to some people!
Also, the DPI fix is not so much a fix as a workaround, because it now doesn’t get any bigger at all when you choose a different DPI. I need to implement real layout scaling (instead of bitmap scaling), which should not be terribly difficult, but will certainly take some time.

What version of PowerDVD have you tested this with? I have been attempting various settings with PowerDVD 9 without getting any results. Audio still will not playback through Breakaway. I am using Windows 7 RC 64-bit. No audio problems in any other program so far. I am using the DirectSound driver.
PowerDVD 6, in Windows XP. I suppose I’m a bit behind the times 🙂.
But man, if PowerDVD 9 is really bypassing the pipeline, and playing directly into the sound card, that’s a big problem — there’s not a lot that can be done about it.. What happens if you play a regular media file in PDVD 9?

Yeah I have PDVD 9 Ultra and it will route an AVI file’s audio to BA, but not DVDs or Blu-rays.

Hmm, can it have anything to to with that old CD-player feature that u could play a "sound" cd on your computer without starting a program? I older computers there is a certain cable between the motherboard and the cd/dvd player on the computer. If it’s so, the sound bypasses BAE and go directly out to your speakers.
My advice, download VLC Media Player, always works like a charm for me =)
http://www.videolan.orgI think it’s just PowerDVD using the "separate audio path for DRM-protected audio" which exists in Vista and 7. Great job in making computers easier to use — as if you couldn’t record it in analog if you wanted to. Especially since CSS is so laughably broken already — it’d be much easier to decrypt the whole file. Sigh…
