I've been at this problem for hours now and could use some advise. I got an 720p mkv file with a DTS stream that I try to play using DTS passthrough. The video plays fine (using mplayer on my Linux HTPC), but there are constant clicks/pops in the audio that make make it basically impossible to watch/listen. The receiver correctly identifies the stream as DTS and sound is good apart from those clicks. I've tried to analyze it with midentify, but so far I can only see that other files that do play correctly are apparently encoded using a52 while this particular file is encoded with ffdts.

This is the midentify output for the file:
Code:
ID_DEMUXER=mkv
ID_VIDEO_FORMAT=avc1
ID_VIDEO_BITRATE=0
ID_VIDEO_WIDTH=1280
ID_VIDEO_HEIGHT=688
ID_VIDEO_FPS=23.976
ID_VIDEO_ASPECT=1.8605
ID_AUDIO_FORMAT=8193
ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=0
ID_AUDIO_RATE=48000
ID_AUDIO_NCH=6
ID_LENGTH=6354.32
ID_VIDEO_CODEC=ffh264
ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=128000
ID_AUDIO_RATE=48000
ID_AUDIO_NCH=2
ID_AUDIO_CODEC=ffdts
This is for a file that does play nicely:
Code:
ID_DEMUXER=mkv
ID_VIDEO_FORMAT=mpg2
ID_VIDEO_BITRATE=0
ID_VIDEO_WIDTH=1920
ID_VIDEO_HEIGHT=1088
ID_VIDEO_FPS=23.976
ID_VIDEO_ASPECT=1.7776
ID_AUDIO_FORMAT=8192
ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=0
ID_AUDIO_RATE=48000
ID_AUDIO_NCH=6
ID_LENGTH=4203.92
ID_VIDEO_CODEC=mpeg12
ID_AUDIO_BITRATE=384000
ID_AUDIO_RATE=48000
ID_AUDIO_NCH=2
ID_AUDIO_CODEC=a52
Any pointers on how to fix this or what causes it would be greatly appreciated!
