Linux [AE] Bitstream Audio under HD4000 Intel Core i3

Correct, you need to update to kernel 3.8.5 which should make this work.

Does anyone have the same problem I do, where in kernel 3.9RC5 the DTS HD or Dolby TrueHD no longer work?

Thanks for your reply!

I am new to Linux and not sure how to update the kernel.

I can see the 3.8.5 files here and if I follow the kernel upgrade section of that Wiki page

If I do that, I will still be on Ubuntu 12.10 minimal but with a 3.8.5 kernel ?

Thanks

The update instructions are:

Code:
1.2 Kernel Download

wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8.5-raring/linux-headers-3.8.5-030805_3.8.5-030805.201303281651_all.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8.5-raring/linux-headers-3.8.5-030805-generic_3.8.5-030805.201303281651_amd64.deb
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8.5-raring/linux-image-3.8.5-030805-generic_3.8.5-030805.201303281651_amd64.deb

Optional extras ?
wget http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8.5-raring/linux-image-extra-3.8.5-030805-generic_3.8.5-030805.201303281651_amd64.deb

1.3 Kernel Install

Install the debs with these commands:
cd ~/
sudo dpkg -i *.deb

Should I install the Optional Extras ?

I've just backed up my HTPC using Acronis True Image, so if it goes wrong I can restore it back.

yes, install all 4 files. As long as you do not remove your old kernel, you can always just boot to it via grub menu

Thanks for your reply.

I will try and update the kernel tomorrow. Presumably if it works and fixes the issue it is better to then remove the old kernel? I don't know how to remove it though.

New to Linux never updated the kernel before.

Cheers

EDIT: I found a guide for removing old kernels, although it recommends keeping the last previous one just in case.

I updated the kernel and tried the other fixes but still no sound

I'm having this problem also. I have tried all the fixes on the wiki (updated kernel etc). DTS is working fine. I'm getting no sound from DTS-HD. My receiver is an Onkyo HT-R548 (which supports the format).

I am overseeing the spdif module in there, that was clearly present in the xbmc.log Did you unload something? (Can you by any chance try OpenELEC 3.1 Intel x64 from an USB stick?)

I believe I blacklisted the spdif module. The log is current. I haven't done anything since uploading it.

I can give openelec a try. Thanks for the help.

Okay. I've tried OpenELEC 3.1 Intel x64 from a USB stick. The behaviour is the same. No sound on DTS-HD. The file has two soundtracks. The DTS version works fine.

Cause of this I wonder. Should _not_ be there if the spdif is blacklisted. What makes me even more wonder is, that your AVR is correctly detected and also show DTS-HD and TrueHD as available. A guy over at OE forum has two Onkyo Receivers. One works, one not - both also detect everything correctly.

Can you link me the Receiver Manual or send it via email: fritsch@xbmc.org? I think there is a little setting which die intel driver does not like - pretty curious if we can find it :-)

Those you already tried, right:
Code:
Audio TV Out - Off
TV Control - Off
HDMI Control - Off
Audio Output - AMP

Okay. Manual is here: www.intl.onkyo.com/downloads/manuals/pdf/ht-r548_manual_e.pdf

I believe all the settings on the Onkyo receiver are okay.

To blacklist spdif I added this
Code:
options snd_hda_codec_realtek index=-2
to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf.

Thanks again for the effort.

Can you manually disable the Cinema Mode? Is there a "direct" setting? Does switching between the soundtracks help?

Found also those settings:
Quote:Under source setup choose audio selector -> hdmi and fixed mode -> off
Under hdmi setup chose hdmi ctrl (RIHD) -> off

Quote:I can finally say my Onkyo receiver is now showing DTS-HD MA for all of my movie's. I really appreciate everyone chipping in on this topic and providing the information for me to solve this problem. I think the key's to fixing it were as follows:

Setting the listening mode preset in the Onkyo settings to direct. There was no option to turn off Fixed mode under HDMI- Audio selector, therefore I chose Auto. Scrolling through the Audio streams helped and is a really nice things to have. This forum is awesome and I have learnt so much in only a few weeks.
