Are you speaking about AE only? dts-hd ma has a dts core track as well so that's what was playing. being able to bitstream dts-hd ma (or truehd), which @david1977 was trying, is something else entirely. afaik ion1 isn't capable of more than dts/ac3 and 2 channel lpcm. RE: AudioEngine testers - Linux only - DaVu - 2012-07-09 Hi there.... First of all...thanks for helping I´ve got the Zoac ION F-Series motherboard and I use the On-Board-HDMI Looking at the specs of this board (it´s in german).... Zotac ION F-Series there are the points: Audio: - Onboard 5.1-Channel High-Definition Audio - 7.1-Channel LPCM Digital Audio (HDMI) - Optical & Coaxial S/PDIF Audio Ausgang so I thought bitstreaming is possible. Are you sure, that bitstreaming isn´t possible even the board ist 7.1 LPCM capable? @zimba: What furii said is right. XBMC for itself does the "downconversion" from DTS-HDMA to DTS so you only get the core track, even DTS-HDMA is shown at the OSD of your XBMC. You definitely will get the core track. I also have a XBMC Eden 11.0 installed on my board on another HDD. So I have the same audio output like you while playing HD audio content...only the core. Greetings RE: AudioEngine testers - Linux only - vicbitter - 2012-07-09 For bitstreaming HD audio you need a Next Generation ION (or ION2) platform. The Zotac ION F-Series is an ION1 platform whereas the ZOTAC ION-ITX T Series is an ION2 platform. RE: AudioEngine testers - Linux only - DaVu - 2012-07-09 Thank you very much, but I need (for so long I don´t have a NAS) more than 2 S-ATA ports on it. Gonna take a look for new hardware. RE: AudioEngine testers - Linux only - vicbitter - 2012-07-09 I was just giving an example of an ION2 board from Zotac so you compare against the F-Series not suggesting you purchase it... RE: AudioEngine testers - Linux only - DaVu - 2012-07-09 Yes, I know Just a noob-question... Did I understand right, that only nVidia devices supports HD-Audio? So I have to buy an ION2 board? Are there any other supported boards? Will a "ASROCK E350M1 Mini-ITX AMD A50M"-board with the on-board AMD Radeon HD6310 work? or Is it possible to get this with my ION F-Series and a i.e. nVidia GT430 to work? Thanks for the answers Greetings RE: AudioEngine testers - Linux only - MastaG - 2012-07-09 (2012-07-09, 11:38)vicbitter Wrote: For bitstreaming HD audio you need a Next Generation ION (or ION2) platform. I have just bought a Zotac IONITX-S-E, the box says Next Generation ION and Xorg.0.log reports GT218. Does it support bitstreaming HD audio? It has optical, spdif and hdmi. RE: AudioEngine testers - Linux only - fat-tony - 2012-07-09 @David1977 - just be aware that the HD-Audio restriction on ATI devices applies to linux specifically. I'm using an AMD Fusion board with ATI graphics and HDMI sound. Works fine on WIndows 7/8 with ATI Catalyst drivers. I'm waiting patiently for ATI/AMD to sort out the linux situation - just so you know you have options! RE: AudioEngine testers - Linux only - DaVu - 2012-07-09 Thanks fat-tony, I know. But I want to stay at linux RE: AudioEngine testers - Linux only - vicbitter - 2012-07-09 (2012-07-09, 15:22)MastaG Wrote:(2012-07-09, 11:38)vicbitter Wrote: For bitstreaming HD audio you need a Next Generation ION (or ION2) platform. Yes, the Zotac IONITX-S-E has an ION2 so you should be good for bitstreaming HD audio. You can only bitstream HD audio via HDMI due to the high bit rate...

From testing on the OpenELEC forums, it appears that both the GT430 and GT520 work great so you could add either to your existing ION F-Series setup. I would recommend you look at passively cooled versions of the cards to eliminate fan noise. Cheers! RE: AudioEngine testers - Linux only - DaVu - 2012-07-09 Thank you very much I found a passively cooled card from Zotac (ZOTAC GF GT 430 Zone Grafikkarte (PCI-e, 1GB GDDR3 Speicher, Dual-DVI, HDMI, 1 GPU)). I think this will work fine RE: AudioEngine testers - Linux only - wingrunr21 - 2012-07-11 Anybody who was having issues with device enumeration, a pull request was recently merged that changed how this worked. Pull the latest changes from master and compile. See if that fixes your issues. RE: AudioEngine testers - Linux only - geearf - 2012-07-16 Hey thanks for the update. I just tried it, with xbmc built without pulse audio (and the daemon paused before starting xbmc), it only sees my motherboard output (ie the intel one) not the hdmi ATI one. It also freezes when going through default (not sure why? maybe because on my system default is pulse). I rebuilt xbmc with pulse support and started it without pausing pulse and this time it all works! I can play passthrough or decoded streams with no problem: that's a first since I started using XBMC! I always had to kill/pause pulse to get passthrough before. Last annoying thing, is that when I pause the passthrough stream in XBMC, I can see that my receiver sees that (for example it switched from DTS to multichannel stereo), BUT no other player can access the audio... output from mplayer while a DTS movie is paused in XBMC: AO: [pulse] Init failed: Device or resource busy Failed to initialize audio driver 'pulse' This might be a pulse issue and not xbmc though... Anyway thanks! RE: AudioEngine testers - Linux only - giftie - 2012-07-16 The following commit breaks(no sound) DTS Core audio in a DTS MA-HD stream -> https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/55e2317d7d87f81d47154c7637f00bcaaa783482, though movies with just a DTS audio format still work. Compiling the commit directly before allows DTS Core to properly be used -> https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/2de2058f11a8c1c5ad0cff4d5524fc58964adebf RE: AudioEngine testers - Linux only - forall - 2012-07-18 Hi, It's possible to support for intel hd graphic (intel i3-2100T) with xbmc AE works correctly DTS Audio, because it's working only: 1) scenario 1 - XBMC --- hdmi ---TV Samsung DTS - no Dolby Digital 5.1 - yes AC3 - yes DTS-HD - no DTS-MA -no System Quote:cat /etc/lsb-release aplay -l Quote: aplay -l aplay -L Quote:aplay -L Quote: cat /proc/asound/card0/eld#3.1 Quote: uname -r Quote:dpkg -l |grep alsa http://pastebin.ca/2172224 - scenario 1 2) scenario 2 - XBMC --- receiver TX-SR608 --- TV SAMSUNG DTS 5.1 - ok Dolby Digital 5.1 - ok DTS-HD - no / noise DTS-MA - no / noise http://paste.ubuntu.com/1098698/ - scenario 2 |
