Hi all,
today I discovered that my system had problems with playback of FLAC audio. I experience a sort of "frame drop", but with audio.
May the problem be related to the HD audio issue of AMD drivers?
First of all my configuration:
HTPC with:
Ubuntu 12.04 up to date as 12/11/2012
AMD Catalyst 12.6.
XBMC Frodo via wsnipex's PPA, up to date as 12/11/2012.
XBMC autologin. XBMC remote on my Android phone,
The HTPC is connected via HDMI to a Denon AVR-1611. Denon is connected to the TV via HDMI, and to a simple 2.0 speaker configuration.
The Denon does not decode flac format.
Doing some investigations, I noticed that my Denon detect the sample rate of flac songs as 48 kHz, but they are 96 kHz. Then, I searched in the log file and I found this:
So the HDMI device has a maximum sample rate of 48000.
Is it normal or is it related to the driver issue?
