[solved] [GIT] DTS-HD MA not working

Morrtin · 2013-05-09 09:03

#xbmc-xvba is a IRC channel or? Which program do I need to use it (on Windows 7)?

Man my brain is already exploding with this new information about linux, alsa, intel, etc. and now EDID :-)

This did not help - it seems with that override you can only replace the modelines.

We activated his edid override but that didn't help either. We then performed a couple of changes to my system.
No all changes were Linux or XBMC related, we changed also the settings of my Sony AVR STR-DH810. In the end
he solved the problem.

I then tried to figure out what change was the solving one, so I restored a image of my system before all changes and
started over. All changes except AVR settings were reverted. After installing XBMC like I used to do it I didn't get any
XBMC screen. I implemented our changes step by step but non helped. At last I updated my kernel to 3.9 again and
all was working.

So I started from scratch again. Restoring image and installing XBMC. I didn't get a XBMC screen this time either. But
now i started with the kernel updated. And that was all I needed to get XBMC running with DTS-HD MA.

Bottom line I needed only a kernel update and the right settings for my AVR.

Settings we did on my AVR:

CTRL:HDMI set to off
Passthrough set to off (was grayed out anyway after first change)
Audio Output set to AMP instead of TV+AMP

Thanks fritsch for the great help!!

A little bit off topic:

During kernel update I get

W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8168g-1.fw for module r8169
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/rtl8106e-1.fw for module r8169

At the moment I recognize no problems. Should these warnings concern me?

Concerning the firmware:
sudo mkdir -p /lib/firmware/rtl_nic
sudo cp /lib/firmware/rtl816* /lib/firmware/rtl_nic/

The firmware location seems to have chaned. Normally when installing 3.9.0 kernel on 12.04 updating the linux-firmware package should also be done.

Edit:

Code:

cd ~/

wget http://ubuntu.mirror.cambrium.nl/ubuntu//pool/main/l/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_1.106_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i linux-firmware_1.106_all.deb
