Using hardware acceleration can provide better playback performance (for example, less stuttering on high bitrate video files). However, if you notice audio sync issues or other playback issues, try turning hardware acceleration off.

Select this setting to turn on HDMI audio passthrough. When turned on, the audio channels from your videos will not be converted for playback in Mezzmo's video player and will be kept in their original form.
