No audio via HDMI unless I reduce video resolution - davenuc - 2014-06-07

Hi, my OpenELEC and DN2820 NUC work perfectly on my main newish TV but when I connect them to an older Pioneer 436 plasma which supports the normal set of resolutions including 1080p the only audio I get unless I reduce the UI resolution down to 576 is silent but with a bit of the movie sound every few seconds for a few milliseconds. It happens with ripped DVDs and Bluray MKVs. Likewise the UI sounds are absent apart from the occasional one as I navigate the menus.

XBMC audio pass through is disabled.

Any suggestions please ?

Set your audio config to Fixed 48khz 2 channels and retry.

Thanks for the suggestion but same result - no audio on UI navigation or movie.

Can I just check something with you before I waste your time. The following modes are listed as supported by my tv:
1920∗1080i@50Hz 720∗576p@50Hz 1280∗720p@50Hz 720(1440)∗576i@50Hz 1920∗[email protected]/60Hz 720∗[email protected]/60Hz 1280∗[email protected]/60Hz 720(1440)∗[email protected]/60Hz 1920∗1080p@24Hz

So what should I have the xbmc set to ?

Thanks, not sure if it matters but I'm in the Uk.

With that setting in xbmc I've produced the following log file

Appreciate the help.

Any specific reason you're still using a beta version instead of the latest 13.1 release? You are now 6 releases behind...

Yes, it's because of this:
http://openelec.tv/forum/64-installation/71034-oe-4-0-1-i386-generic-crashing-on-intel-2820-nuc
I've tried to find out more info about the issue and whether it will be fixed in the main path without success.

It's also true that I have the same problem with this tv running openelec 4.0.2 on my i3 nuc.
