Make sure that your audio settings are correct. Wrong audio settings will have severely negative effects on video playback. | |||
;Make sure that | |||
* Your speaker setup is really correct | |||
* If passthrough: you '''only''' enable the audio codecs your receiver supports. | |||
* Select the correct audio output device for analog and passthrough | |||
;Linux specific | |||
*On AMD GPUs you must disable all "HD" Audio codecs and "output stereo to all speakers". AMD drivers under linux don't support HD audio. AC3 and DTS should be safe to enable. NVidia GPUs should be okay for HD audio (if supported by the hardare). | |||
;Mac OS X specific | |||
*If you hear sound only coming from the left side of speakers/headphones then you probably need to change your audio settings from 2.1 to 2.0. | |||
