Tomtomme,

I have reopened and submitted my response to Anssi on the alsa forum. I just wanted to report that the HD Audio passthrough bug still seems to be a problem with the AMD HD5670.

I have submitted my kernel log without the drm.debug as requested. I may have found an issue in the log: "HDMI ATI/AMD: no speaker allocation for ELD"

Here is the kernel log pastebin I provided to Anssi: http://paste.ubuntu.com/9238509/

There is definitely some sort of bug with the kernel and the GPU only detecting 2 channels on HDMI. It's a bug that the AMD proprietary drivers have solved, but of course they don't run VDPAU.

I'm guessing most of the problems referenced in the last page of this thread are related to this multichannel audio detection bug. Then again, I am no dev.

I've gotten a reply on the alsa-devel, but I'm still waiting for a reply from Anssi or another dev though.

Hi Mathew,
the reply was from me to just confirm the bug. I am also waiting on a dev-reply.
cheers tomme
