Anyone using these builds with a 2013 or older Samsung TV without an AVR? On my F8500, I can't get any 44100 HDMI audio to play at all when the screen refresh rate for 1920x1080p is set higher than 30Hz. It's basically the Intel bug described here. I'm on a Haswell 2957U Celeron.

From the comments above it sounded like it was fixed but it's still broken for me. The last build with working 44.1 Khz audio for me was "#1017, 17-Oct-2015" from this thread. That build used kernel 4.1.10. The very next build #1018 switched to kernel 4.3.0-rc5 and I lost 44.1 audio ever since.

You can immediately tell if you're getting the bug because the GUI navigation sound effects also stop working (I assume they are also using 44.1 Khz).

Then please go back to the bugs.freedesktop.org report - they won't fix it without a proper report

Can we just remove whatever changes Intel made that broke it? Audio worked fine for me on the 4.1.10 kernel. Looks like they made it worse trying to fix it for some Pioneer AVRs.

I suspect more people will report this bug once a newer openelec goes into wide distribution. The last stable 6.0.3 release still uses kernel 4.1.18.

Who marked the original bug as fixed? I didn't see any of the users who reported it confirm a fix in the bug tracker comments.

**fritsch** · 2016-08-21, 10:45

No we can't. Cause all the new hardware is not supported by this old an ancient kernel.

And yes - the users with that issues did not care to report back, just ran away ... so upstream closed it, cause of no feedback. I don't have this problem with my Marantz AVR, so I cannot help without a user reporting it properly.

I mean is it normal that there are a lot of them and they also consume considerable amount of cpu (while kodi is idling at home screen)?

Depends what add-ons have been installed. It's certainly possible to install add-ons that consume cpu when kodi is otherwise idle.
From a clean install with no add-ons I'd say it is not expected.

Would some snapshots with Myth disabled be useful?

Try with a "clean" .kodi folder to see if it behaves normally without _any_ third-party addons.

By the way "top -p $(pidof kodi.bin)" then H will show the thread activity for kodi.bin only.

What constitutes a "clean" .kodi folder?

Code:
media-center:~/.kodi # ls -l

total 24

Perform a backup and then delete everything in .kodi, leaving an empty .kodi folder?

BayTrail/CherryTrail HDMI audio support

nice to see its back

its still "only" 2.0 not passthrough HD audio right ?

/ Stainless

i was testing and PCM should work ... just you need asound.conf with something like that

Code:
pcm.!default {

   type hw

   card 0

   device 0

   format s24_le }

passthrough HD not possible but you will able get multichannel PCM audio
Let me know if works, anyway all play now is with asound.conf

**fritsch** · 2016-08-21, 19:16

Can I have a kodi.log please? We should automatically support 24 bit audio without any additional asound.conf files.

I dont have right now good AVR with HDMI for test PCM multichannel

**fritsch** · 2016-08-21, 20:44

Good - all fine. Nothing to do for kodi.

The following should do it:

Code:
systemctl stop kori

mv .kodi .kodi.bak

reboot

Now when your Kodi starts it will be using defaults, and won't have any third-party add-ons installed. When done testing, delete the new .kodi folder and rename .kodi.bak to .kodi to restore your original setup.

Is Kodi actually crashing? If so you'll have a crashlog (see note #4 in first post).

Knowing the exact build when this problem started could also help.

@Milhouse

I was able to spend some time rolling back from #814 to the version it is working and then broken in this morning. It seems AFTER #806 the issue occurs so maybe it has something to do with the ffmpeg bump in #807.

Unfortunately I was unable to get the system to crash no matter what I tried and only way I could recover was WAITING for an extremely LONG time or Hard rebooting the system. It is so bad that during the issue the system doesn't respond to SSH all the time and when I did get in and check TOP kodi is driving the CPU up greatly.

However here are logs from #806 and #807:

#806 - Working - http://sprunge.us/DbaI
#807 - NOT Working - http://sprunge.us/WTXH

Yes, this sounds like the same passthrough/seek/OOM problem introduced in #0806 that we see in the RPi builds - if you disable passthrough does the problem still happen?

Yup! Disabled passthrough and updated to #819, worked as expected with skipping ahead.

Let me know if you need me to test future stuff with it enabled as a fix.
