[solved] [GIT] DTS-HD MA not working - direx - 2012-07-20 Hi, I am using the latest XBMC-git with AudioEngine support. I also enabled True-HD and DTS-HD as supported audio formats in settings. Whenever I am playing a movie with a DTS-HD MA track I can only hear a crackling noise coming out of my speakers. My receiver also does not show "DTS-HD", but only "7.1 PCM". My system:
This is the relevant xbmc.log: Code: DEBUG: CDVDPlayer::SetCaching - caching state 2 All other (non-HD) audio formats are working. Am I missing maybe a special configure switch when compiling XBMC? Or is there a special setting in advancedsettings.xml I am missing? Regards, direx -- Edit: Solution in post #10. RE: [GIT] DTS-HD MA not working - DaVu - 2012-07-20 Nothing is missed...except the correct hardware Only nVidia next generation ION (also ION2) devices are supported under AE. So you ether need an new mobo or another graphic card (i.e. passively cooled zotac gt430). Take a look at the first page of this thread: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=128298 Cheers RE: [GIT] DTS-HD MA not working - direx - 2012-07-26 (2012-07-20, 19:02)David1977 Wrote: Only nVidia next generation ION (also ION2) devices are supported under AE.After doing some research I found out that this is not true. It is actually not even XBMC's fault, AE should support all devices. The issue right here is that the Intel driver does not enter HBR mode correctly. For more information have a look at this bug report. - direx RE: [GIT] DTS-HD MA not working - DaVu - 2012-07-26 You´ve got mail/pn Greets from Germany RE: [GIT] DTS-HD MA not working - constrictor - 2012-07-26 This is weird, but I noticed something similar to this earlier this week. I've been running XBMCbuntu on my HTPC and have the latest nightlies. Everything seemed to be fine until the other day when I went to watch The Empire Strikes Back. My files are all h.264 encoded MKVs from Handbrake. I personally ripped my copy of the original trilogy from my own personal copies of the Blu-Ray boxed set that I own and retained the original DTS-HD Master Audio tracks. When I started Episode V, there was no audio. Weird. I checked my settings and they were fine. It had been a while since I restarted my HTPC, so I rebooted, went back and tried the movie again, still no audio. I randomly picked another movie I had recently watched with a DTS track and it played fine. Went to another movie, it played fine. Went to Empire...no audio. Tried another Star Wars movie, no audio. Hmm, seems to be an issue with DTS-HD MA tracks. I don't know if this is normal, but with my setup, for as long as I can remember in XBMC, in the audio settings, HDMI and Optical both do the same thing. I think I had it set to HDMI, so I switched it to Optical, and voila! The sound was back in all its multi-channel glory. I stopped the movie, tried another Star Wars movie, no audio again. Switched from Optical back to HDMI and the sound was back. I know this doesn't really explain anything, but for some reason, on my setup at least, switching back and forth between HDMI and Optical fixes whatever glitch there is with DTS-HD MA tracks. As I said before, I do not experience this phenomena on any other type of track, DTS, AC3, MP3, etc. RE: [GIT] DTS-HD MA not working - direx - 2012-07-26 (2012-07-26, 21:04)constrictor Wrote: I know this doesn't really explain anything, but for some reason, on my setup at least, switching back and forth between HDMI and Optical fixes whatever glitch there is with DTS-HD MA tracks.

When you switch to Optical all you get is the DTS-Core when playing DTS-HD. Optical SPDIF simply cannot handle the bandwith of DTS-HD, this is why only the core is passed through. When you disable the DTS-HD feature in the audio settings for your HDMI connection you should be getting the same result. - direx RE: [GIT] DTS-HD MA not working - constrictor - 2012-07-26 (2012-07-26, 22:23)direx Wrote:(2012-07-26, 21:04)constrictor Wrote: I know this doesn't really explain anything, but for some reason, on my setup at least, switching back and forth between HDMI and Optical fixes whatever glitch there is with DTS-HD MA tracks.

I don't doubt what you're saying, but in my experience, I get DTS-HD through both Optical or HDMI, it just depends on whcih one I started out on. If I start on HDMI, I have to switch to Optical, if I start on Optical, I have to switch to HDMI. Either way, the signal is physically coming out of the optical connector on my soundcard and going to my receiver. The act of physically switching is what gets it to work. RE: [GIT] DTS-HD MA not working - DaVu - 2012-07-27 "I get DTS-HD through both Optical or HDMI...." For sure...you will never get DTS-HD through the optical output. This is only the core (DTS). Optical out or SPDIF isn't able to play HD content. For HD content you need HDMI. RE: [GIT] DTS-HD MA not working - Memphiz - 2012-07-27 I can backup this statement. Do your homework if you don't believe... RE: [GIT] DTS-HD MA not working - direx - 2012-09-02 I got DTS-HD/Dolby TrueHD working on my Intel setup. I just needed to patch my kernel and alsa-lib. On the XBMC-side everything was fine. For more information have a look at the Linux AE thread, starting at page 45. I hope we'll see official HBR bitstream support for Intel graphics in Linux 3.7. RE: [solved] [GIT] DTS-HD MA not working - basco - 2012-12-20 Hi guys, sorry to disturb this sleeping solved thread, but... i went from b3 to rc1 and now i am unable to play DTS-HD MA and TRUE-HD MA. When i play such a source i hear a very sharp noise. Does anyone have a clue? RE: [solved] [GIT] DTS-HD MA not working - SIMMON - 2013-01-12 Hello all, again the same Problem. Using a Intel Core i3 "Ivy" with HD4000. DTS and Dolby works great on DTS-HD Master and Dolby TrueHD i'm just getting this noise. I've updated to Kernel 3.7.1 because of there should be some fixes but no help.

RE: [solved] [GIT] DTS-HD MA not working - flitter2009 - 2013-02-01 Upgrading to 3.8 and applying the changes to the /usr/share/alsa/cards/HDA-Intel.conf file shown at http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=128298&page=48 (second post down) made HDA work for me after some chasing around. It would probably be worth trying 3.7.5 as well at some stage to see if it works there. RE: [solved] [GIT] DTS-HD MA not working - esoterikal - 2013-02-01 I just tested the change with kernel 3.7.5 on Frodo final and it worked.
