Linux AudioEngine testers - Linux only
Thnx, I will do the same when I have time
Reply
So I tried it and it works with NVIDIA Driver 304.64. On my Archlinux i was forced to install LTS Kernel which is 3.0.53 because with 3.6.5 the Driver doesnt work.
I testet DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD and it works just fine :-)

You are king, lets do it here also.
I have 3.4 kernel btw.

This should be update in the fipo. Beside that we should test what the latest version is which works.

Update:
The bitstream option is still not working.
You changed 2 things at the same time:
- Kernel
- Driver

Question now is, is the kernel the problem or the driver.
XBMC is installed correctly. Receiver is able to bitstream. Folks on the forum use Denon for bitstream so mine should do as well.
Only thing I can think of is the kernel after trying the video driver

Besides that I am thinking of trying an windows machine to test the receiver of receiving the signals

Here a part of my log:

Looks like XBMC is normally outputting data, but it does not exit the Sapphire edge HD2
Reply
I suggest you try OpenElec Frodo Beta from an USB stick. It should work ootb there.
Reply
Maybe you can try it with a older Kernel. I can only test it with kernel 3.0.53, 3.6.8-1 (not 3.6.5 which i wrote in my post above) and 3.7rc7 (didnt test this Version) . There are no other Kernel in the ArchLinux Repository.
Reply
Tested beta openelec -> Not working.....
Beta Release: 2.95.3 (3.0 Beta 3) based on XBMC-Frodo

Going nuts....

only thing I can now think of is the kernel and a windows test (windows live or something similar)
Reply
I am very sure it is an edid issue. Reading a lot about it.
Also what the problem is, I only don't know how I can fix it in Linux. Are here some devs of users who can help me out:

http://www.avsforum.com/t/1012239/denons...t_13480395
Reply
if you find a correct edid you should be able to force it in the nvidia driver.
Reply
I am busy to solve this issue in a windows environment, if that succeeds then I have an working edid which I can use in linux.
Keep you posted.

(Chance is very likely that XBMC and my Linux config are 100% OK)
Reply
Oke, small update:
(By the time you can see the steps I have taken and what I have done, in case you have similar issues)

@13:00
I have DTS HDMA on my receiver. I cannot yet tell how I did it coz it could be a wrong suggestion. Later on 2day I am going to test some options which are still to investigate. After this is done I will state what my problem was en if necesarry the solution worked out (the best I can).

@13:47
Installed the latest Nvidia driver, lets see if this one works as well. If it works my initial install was quite OK.
Next steps will be making a new Monitor dump with moninfo:
http://www.entechtaiwan.com/util/moninfo.shtm

@14:24
Video driver 310.19 is working fine. Since detection of standard size is disabled the image is too big, but that is for a later stage.
Now I am going to extract a new monitor file (EDID) with the program mentioned before. I am going to use this as-is in the xorg file.

@14:40
New untouched edid is loaded in my xorg.conf and computer is rebooting.
Curious about the result.

@14:55
Untouched EDID is not working.
Going to open the file in: Advantiv™ EDID Editor
http://ez.analog.com/docs/DOC-2143
So open Moninfo again and copy the raw data from there in a notepad. Make it look like this:

Save the file as a ".dat"

Remark: Everybody's file is different I have no idea if you can screw your config up with my EDID!

Now I read this is in EDID Editor.
After open you press save! (If you do not do this the file will not be saved anymore!)
Press unlock the file! No you can do with the file whatever you want.

I just press check file (the green V) (checking the file)
If you are finished you can press save, but for my goal I need a little other format, so you EXPORT the file (if you do not export, moninfo will not read the E-EDID)

After my updates the EDID looks like:

For now I stop, coz I want to see if the update of the file contents is just enough to make the edid work in my Linux environment. The more basic the better.
This file I am going to test in my linux environment. Wish me luck

Ps, this is the rule to put it in your config:
Code:
Option "CustomEDID" "DFP-1:/storage/.config/edid-binary.bin"
Option "UseEDID" "true"

It looks like these adjustmens make the edid work as well as the sound. However keep in mind that the extract is somehow dependant on the HDMI port you used (dunno) why, but honestly i do not care.
Now I need to make sure the standard frequencies for my LCD are used out of that same edid file which should be easy.

Resolution was just an option in the XBMC settings. Sooooo Nice.
All working. Hope someone can do something with my logs.

What Version of Windows did you use for moninfo?
I tried it with windows 7 and moninfo crashes at start or reboot my computer.
It would be interesting if it works with another edid on driver 310.xx for me too

I used windows 7 X64

(Try run it in compatibility mode -> you used win 8 right?)

i used win 7 x86. I will try it with windows xp

it does not matter with which pc you retrieve the edid code, as long as you get the source edid.
