DVB Viewer - FloppyDTV C/CI - freeze and mickey mouse sound

[Seafront]

Hello,

 

I am new in this forum and have a small problem with DVBViewer. TV-playback will “freeze” for a short moment and starts again with a “mickey mouse sound”, that happens about every 10 minutes.

 

I dosent matter which renderer or decoder I choose and the “freeze” happens with both SD and HD channels. I prefer EVR renderer, much better than VMR9 with my HTPC and TV-set…

 

Maybe someone can give me some hint how to solve this small but irritated problem.

 

 

*FloppyDTV C/CI (digital everywhere) with latest drivers and firmware

*MSI G33M (Intel G33 chipset) with latest drivers and bios.

*MSI NX8500GT (HDMI) with latest NVIDIA 169.25 WHQL driver

*Windows Vista Home Premium, Intel Core 2 Duo E6750, 2GB RAM

*Sony Bravia KDL-40X3000 TV-set

*PayTV provider: Comhem, Sweden

Try the latest version 1.4.6 of the AC3 Filter as audio/ac3 decoder. It seems to work quite reliable under Vista.

Thanks for the tip!

 

Have tried to change video renderer/decoders, not the audio decoder… but change to AC3 Filter did not solve the problem.

 

My TV-playback seems to be OK… but I can see that playback is not running well all of the time. CNBC particularly, the floting stocktickers are running smootly most of the time but sometimes the are little choppy… and sometimes they become so jerky that playback freeze for a short moment (and starts again with a frightful soundeffect).

 

All channels works fine when I use the built-in CI slot in my Sony TV-set… it feels that there are to many parameters that must work when using HTPC with the FloppyDTV C/CI.

The cam and smartcard should be placed in the computer where DVBViewer is running on.
