I tried now for 2 days but can't get the HDMI-out work.

I tried 3 different HDMI-cables and 2 TVs. No success yet.
I flashed to F3 Bios and tried to switch the ("BIOS") options to lagecy only.
No success. UEFI doesn't work, too.

Tried to reinstall the VGA-driver. No success. Windows doesn't
detect my TVs. Any other ideas?

Sorry for my bad english.

Thanks and regards
Tim

Have any J2900 boards surfaced yet?

On which motherboard?

[emigrante]

Hi Wintersdark,

Motherboard is a Gigabyte J1800N-D2H

I think my TVs ( Philips) are the problem.

When using the Samsung of a friend all works perfekt.

Some Intel boards output non-TV standard (i.e. not 720p or 1080i/p) formats over HDMI - particularly when initially installing Windows before the video drivers have been installed. 640x480 over HDMI isn't liked by some TVs for instance.

Some BIOS/Motherboards will re-scale these resolutions to 720p or 1080i/p over HDMI (possibly in response to EDID from the display saying what formats it supports) which solves the problem - but not all do. Have hit the same issues myself in the past (usually fixed by using a VGA connection to my TV, or a PC monitor and HDMI->DVI cable).

[-DDD-]

It's an Ivy Bridge GPU so likely not fixed.

Sure? The Baytrail NUC is also an IB GPU and don't have this Bug, as far as i know.
So it must be an Chipset Bug then.

You're wrong. It has. Haswell hasn't

I read that it hasn't http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid...pid1618258

thinkpad --> dvi to hdmi --> Philips: works great!
GB J1800N --> hdmi --> Philips: no signal. :-(

Thanks noggin! But i want to use the HDMI, because my TV only supports
"Natrural Motion" on HDMI input. The board doesn't have any DVI. Only
VGA and HDMI.

It works great ob the Samsung TV but not on my Philips TVs. :-(

Can you use a compatible display for installation and set-up, then once the driver is installed, configure a standard HDTV output format for use with your Philips TV?

If it's not resolution (1280x720, 1920x1080) or frame rate (50 or 60) then it may be HDMI format (Try YCrCb 4:2:2 as a starting point?) that is causing the issue.

Any HDMI TV should support 1280x720 at 59.94/60Hz (progressive) or 1920x1080 at 59.94/60Hz (interlaced - sometimes called 29.97/30Hz) with 4:2:2 YCrCb - they are the most basic HDTV formats that cable/satellite/blu-ray players will output. (50/25Hz also in Europe)

unfortunately i only have a vga-monitor for installing my windows.
The TVs manual sais:
supports:
• 480i - 60 Hz
• 480p - 60 Hz
• 576i - 50 Hz
• 576p - 50 Hz
• 720p - 50 Hz, 60 Hz
• 1080i - 50 Hz, 60 Hz
• 1080p - 24 Hz, 25 Hz, 30 Hz, 50 Hz,60 Hz.

I used the VGA-cable to plug the HTPC on my TV and
set up 1920x1080 with 60Hz in the settings. Then i tried to use
HDMI but without any success.

Where can i find the settings for "YCrCb 4:2:2" ?

Thanks for your help!!

But it's a report of a Bay Trail. Not an Ivy.
According this it's not the same igp. Ivy has the 'bug'

[-DDD-]

I never said Ivy don't have the Bug, sure it have it.
But it can also be an Chipset Bug and doesn't affect Baytrail GPU.

... or somthing like Daphile. ( http://www.daphile.com/ ) (yes, I'm a hifi guy)

Very interesting. I am going to have to check this out. I get the occasional build for audiophile/music server. I am actually discussing a build using this board right now but I think he's going to use JRiver.

JRiver works well but is windows only.

Well, my main Hifi player is a Raspberry Pi + a Hifiberry Digi (http://www.hifiberry.com/hbdigi) addon board. so Daphile, Vortexbox... whatever, would be only for comparison. There will be an XBMC and mpd on the htpc but without all the nice configuration that make it sound good.

Note to the others about the Gigabyte board: Works out of the box on HDMI (never pluged a DVI adapter nor used the VGA port). TV is an old 720p Samsung.
One weird thing after installing my Linux Mint LMDE 201403 was that the OS thought I had 2 screens connected, side by side. The real TV and another 1024x768 one which I had to disable to avoid windows disapearing on me. (actually being launched on that second, fake screen).
