[fritsch]

Hi.

I must say, I really enjoy the work that has been put into this, both by you and by Matt to make such an easy and powerful experience setting up the Chromebox with OpenELEC. Many thanks for that.

I do have one issue though. I can't get any sound when playing video's from youtube. There are a few stream's from retrospect that doesn't work and a few that does.
My setup: Chromebox -> CEC-adapter -> Pioneer AVR -> TV using HDMI and CEC all the way.
I have tried all different kinds of settings under the Audio category, using fixed 44.1khz sample rate, optimized and best matched. When gathering the logs I was using Best match and passthrough for all options except AC3 according to the support list from Pioneer.
I couldn't upload vainfo since OpenELEC didn't want to recognise the command and instead throws "-sh: vainfo: not found".

Log files:
dmesg: http://sprunge.us/HRRL
kodi.log: http://sprunge.us/NDOQ
journalctl: http://sprunge.us/LQeS

Just forgot to mention, I installed the Chrombox with OpenELEC 5.0.8, then upgraded to stock 6.0 and it is now running 6.0.95-fritsch and the problem has been there with all versions. I also tried reinstalling the youtube add-on.

Known issue with shitty AVRs since a long time. Be it Pioneer, Yamaha or whatever - the issue is only happening with 44.1 khz and a refreshrate > 30 hz, e.g. 1080p60 - here is the upstream bug: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75038

Subscribe and tell them: Ey guys it's not yet fixed for me with kernel 4.3.0

As a shortterm workaround I added a patch to OE some time ago to overrule AudioEngine, put this to /storage/.config/advancedsettings.xml

Code:

<advancedsettings>
<audio>
<minimumsamplerate>48000</minimumsamplerate>
</audio>
</advancedsettings>

Edit: If you see in that bugreport I asked Jani if he can specify which patches fixing this issue. I hope he will come back to us - of not, we need to retest with kernel 4.4 and see if it's working.
