We activated his edid override but that didn't help either. We then performed a couple of changes to my system.
No all changes were Linux or XBMC related, we changed also the settings of my Sony AVR STR-DH810. In the end
he solved the problem.
I then tried to figure out what change was the solving one, so I restored a image of my system before all changes and
started over. All changes except AVR settings were reverted. After installing XBMC like I used to do it I didn't get any
XBMC screen. I implemented our changes step by step but non helped. At last I updated my kernel to 3.9 again and
all was working.
So I started from scratch again. Restoring image and installing XBMC. I didn't get a XBMC screen this time either. But
now i started with the kernel updated. And that was all I needed to get XBMC running with DTS-HD MA.
Bottom line I needed only a kernel update and the right settings for my AVR.
Settings we did on my AVR:
- CTRL:HDMI set to off
- Passthrough set to off (was grayed out anyway after first change)
- Audio Output set to AMP instead of TV+AMP
Thanks fritsch for the great help!!
A little bit off topic:
During kernel update I get
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168g-1.fw for module r8169
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8106e-1.fw for module r8169
At the moment I recognize no problems. Should these warnings concern me?
