I mean there must be some reason for it or something else to chk?

Here is my xorg.conf with marantz:
Code:
HomeELEC:~/.config # awk '!/^((.*#)|$)/' xorg.conf
Section "Device"
    Identifier     "nvidia"
    Driver         "nvidia"

    Option         "CustomEDID" "DFP-1:/storage/.config/marantz.bin"

I haven't disable ARC yet but that seriously could be an issue - for this card or the receiver?

Arc might interfer in general as it internally forces 2 pcm channels only. If you got another HDMI in or even another HDMI out on the GPU try that, also.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Could you elaborate on that a bit? 5.1 audio from Netfilx (that runs as TV app) comes through ARC alright. Or do you mean when it handles HD sound? Sorry for the ignorance in this area.

BTW, Disabling ARC didn't bring any luck. Trying to figure out how to use 2nd HDMI in.

5.1 is not always 5.1 pcm

AC3 having 6 channels, e.g. 5.1 - is still only transmitted via 2 PCM channels when passthroughed as AC3. If it's decoded you need 6 channels.

If you already have an issue doing:

systemctl stop kodi

speaker-test -c6 -D "here comes your device", then you already have a multi channel output problem.

Some mysterious reason, HD playback came back in life (along with DTS-HD MA on the A/V display) for 5 mins or so. Stopped that movie (Avatar) and tried another one, and it's gone! I seems to have ghost-card.

I'll try the speaker test rest although I doubt I'll see any issue as standard 5.1 DD/DTS plays just fine anytime.

I'm getting a lot better result with Radeon HD 6450 instead. Three fresh install in a row and HD audio is coming up nicely, so far. The picture seems a bit richer and deeper compare to GT220 as well.

But I think, I've had enough of (my time and yours) it now. I'm ordering an Apollo Lake board soon, so leaving it up here. Thanks a lot @fritsch for your help. Best!

Same problem here, believe the Pioneer don't recognise HD?!
