[Deinterlace-discuss] BT878 Audio settings saving with different inputs

[Mika T. <mik...@pp...>]

Hi

Some you might remember me when I complained a couple of years ago that
audio settings weren't saved properly per channel. That was since fixed in
DScaler 4 and I've been happy daily user of the software since.

Now I updated to digital tv by buying a DVB-C set top box from my sister
(she will move to DVB-T apartment). This is mainly because of the
pay-for-yearly-conax-card-fee and then get the Formula 1 broadcasts without
any commercial breaks.

The device / setup is working fine, and I can get Dscaler to get the audio
trough the line in of the Hauppauge bt878 card and video trough its
composite video in plug.

I do not have a TV so this is how it will be with digital TV for me.

Strangely, the audio settings saving doesn't seem to work with the Composite
In -input. Every time I start DScaler, I do not hear sound, even if I have
enable all audio settings saving options on a fresh DScaler 4.1.15 install.
If I set audio standard: detect now, it will detect the correct audio
standard, but the setting doesn't get saved anywhere.

In the INI file, I get
[BT8781_VideoInput1]
BT8781_VideoFormat=0

and even if I paste the relevant audio standard entries from a same standard
analog tuner channel entry from my old DScaler installation ini file, the
settings are not read by Dscaler and sound is not enabled by default.

I have now set bt card -> audio standard -> manual, and then in the same
place "detect now" and the audio is then stereo and quality is fine. Then,
after closing and restarting Dscaler, it still shows manual in audio
standard, but the part of the menu that is showing the current standard,
displays in grey "no standard", and I have "detect now" again.

This is quite easy to do, but I'm sure that this is meant to work
automatically. Strange that this isn't saved nor read from the ini file

Any comments?
