ati hdmi audio problems

TeKo · 2012-05-19 21:47

I got XBMCbuntu working (not everything right now but XBMC Sound) and it works perfectly with my AVR.
I can switch toi DVD or anything and change back without problems or turn off the AVR and turn it back on.
Standby Audio passthrough not working but that could be something with my AVR settings.

I am just pissed right now...

Back at Win7 formated my ssd about 10times this weekend...

Right now I think I got it working with Catalyst 11.12 (or the latest 11 driver) just install only Videodriver, Audiodriver and Control Center and it should work.

This was a problem with older Catalyst drivers and was fixed a long time ago but it looks like its back in the 12.X driver.

I didnt try every 12 driver because I just dont care maybe someone wants to try it and report back which is the latest working one.

TeKo Catalyst 12.4 is the latest but they are having some issues with it. At the screen it won't show as 12.4 it will show as what ever you had before...

12.3 is the most current stable version at the moment.

They are working at 12.5.....

Sorry to dig stuff up, but there still isn't a real solution to this?

I have the exact same issue

AMD E-350 on an MSI E3501A-E45 Motherboard
ATI 6450 1 gig silent
Denon 1610 Receiver

I have to reboot my HTPC every time I want to use it otherwise I don't get any sound.

FWIW I got up off my ass and loaded the full 11.12 Catalyst package this morning. After numerous wake from sleep the HDMI issue is gone!

Thanks!

I don't get why AMD isn't offering a 'Force Detect' option for HDMI video or audio. They had optical 'Force Detect' for composite video output for cases where the card failed to recognise a composite device hooked up for it. ...Ya know, back when cards had Composite/S-Video outputs. :X

Jumping back in.. 11.12 didn't fix it every time.

Today I see AMD has a 12.6 Beta driver out.

http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pag...6beta.aspx

One of the fixes is

"Disabled HDMI audio when the connected HDTV is powered Off/On."

I'm going to give them a go this morning.

I have had the same problem. This problem is super annoying and disrupts the "ease of use" of the HTPC overall.

Can't believe that I haven't seen more posts about this.

Excited to try the fix posted above. (Edit: unfortunately, only for 7900 and 7800. Hopefully a fix for the 6550 or A8-3850 comes out soon.)

Thanks & rep'd.
