RE: Lenovo Q190 currently best value mini HTPC - Test results & 2 questions - mdyasser2001 - 2013-10-29

Hi,
I have a lenovo q190 (the latest i3 - 3217U) version running XBMC Frodo 2.2 on windows 7.
I'm able to play all files with DTS, AC3 and also a few test files of DTS-HD and True HD without any problems.
All my connections are thro' HDMI. Q190 --> Yamaha RX-V373 --> Panasonic LED 32".

My main issue is I'm not able to play .dts audio files in the Q190. The same files would play on my Revo 3700 running XBMC Frodo 2.2 with (DTS-HD & True HD capable receiver disabled) HDMI Direct sound enabled as Audio output and Passthrough device . And i can get my AVR to display DTS when playing these files.

I'm able to play the same files in the Q190 when i change the audio settings to Analog and speaker output to 2.0 or 5.1.
I then tested by changing the settings to HDMI with speaker output to 5.1 - Direct sound with all AVR capablities disabled and was able to play the same files without any issue but was playing in PCM mode. Then i enabled only the AC3 capability and was still able to play with out any issues and my AVR was reporting as Dolby Digital.
I then enabled DTS capable receiver and then XBMC would not play these files.

What could be the problem? I'm not aware if there is any known problem of Frodo not being able to play DTS audio files. Hope anyone can clarify or help me out in sorting out this issue. Thanks.

Shame Q190 doesn't have Haswell yet, that would be ideal Smile

I have not received my Q190 yet but is the fan really loud? I saw the fan control post by RELYTER. But that is for linux. Is Fanspeed the right program for windows?

It is really subjective but I find it on the loud side when there is no other sound. Also I notice it is constantly running at the same speed. On windows it would be easy to control it using something like speedfan.

Do you know if there is any other HTPC(not a built one) out with haswell yet?
