I have an HP Prodesk 600 G3 computer with an i3 7100 processor. Additionally, I purchased an optional HDMI port to output True HD audio to the receiver. Everything was fine as long as I watched everything in 1080p. I use Kodi on Windows 10 as a player.
This week I changed the TV from old Full HD plasma to a TCL 55C805. I also have a Denon X2200W receiver. Unfortunately, there was a problem with playing 4k HEVC 10 bit movies. Actually, I don't even know if 8 bit works. Everything works on the TV (kodi on google TV), but the sound is poor, so I'm trying play on HTPC + X2200W, for True HD audio. The TV even has HDMI earc, unfortunately, the receiver only has old arc, so True HD or DTS HD are out of the question. I can only try to send DD and DTS. If I have a True HD audio track, can I only send AC3 to the receiver?
I also read that Android can only send AC3 and DTS, and not True HD. So I wouldn't send this sound via earc anyway.
With HP Prodesk HD, audio worked fine on the receiver, but unfortunately it doesn't play 4K movies. The screen goes blank until I turn off the movie, then the Kodi menu returns. Full HD Blu-ray works fine.
i3 7100 is Kaby Lake, so it should probably run 4k HEVC 10 bit, including HDR10 and Dolby Vision. This model had HDMI as an optional port that connected to the motherboard. I have this HDMI and 1080p works OK, including Dolby True HD and DTS HD. Everythings on Windows 10 wth kodi. I couldn't handle HD audio on Linux.
Unfortunately, I don't know what port it is, whether 1.4 or 2.0. Is there any way to check this? The question is, is it HDMI's fault? Maybe mine is only 1.4, and HDR requires 2.0? Or maybe it's just the HDMI cable's fault? Or maybe Kaby lake does not support Dolby vision and HDR 10?
Is there any way to solve this, or is it some hardware limitation?
