Scott, not sure how much of the code you used from the old original XM module (I know you built the new one from the ground up) but the old module didn't have this problem. I know I've said that now 3 times, just trying to highlight it b/c I'm really excited to get back to using XM in CF.

The XM code is the same as before, just have those major bugs fixed now, as well as the Sirius support now built in. The stuff I work with though is now at the plugin level and it seems that your problem is below that, not sure how it could have worked before and not now, but with that said I am quite sure David will track this down soon as he is committed to getting the XM/Sirius module working fully, we both have put a great deal of time to get it where it is, and these last remaining issues should be solved sometime soon, no worries...

David is looking into this, stay tuned...

I am looking into these last couple of isses... been really busy and out of town for about a week...

there was an update to the mixer code that might have created the SPDIF problem... There was actually a bug in the older code that probably made it not change the input at all, which is why it worked for everyone with SPDIF, now that it is fixed it is switching your input...

I am looking into a few ways to fix this...

I will add SPDIF to the options in Settings...

Can someone having the issue take some screenshots for me?

I need a screenshot of the main Windows mixer, the Options Properties window, the mixer device drop down expanded, and both the playback and recording section of the mixer...

I will add SPDIF into the next update and it should fix the issues...

I'll get you those screenshots shortly, David. Thanks.

Sorry for the delay there... holidays with the family took over. Attached are the screenshots.

SatRadio update with SPDIF line selection will be available soon in CF 1.45 update...

Great news! Thanks guys!

Scott/David,

Well, I see the SPDIF choice in 1.45, but now something else must be wrong. I can't tell you if the SPDIF input works because the XM module now does nothing for me. It won't load any channels at all. The channels fields just remain blank. I tried in both buffer and non-buffer mode.

Before 1.45, I had no problem getting channels to load and update, I just couldn't hear anything unless I manually unmuted the SPDIF line.

XM works fine in other front-ends right now, so it's not a hardware issue.

Thanks.
