Radeon HDMI Linux Audio Might Be Restored Soon

[HokTar]

This is on my TODO, but it's more complicated than earlier DCE and I still have sth to improve on earlier DCEs. Next month maybe.

Sounds fantastic! Thanks for the update and I wish you all the best for your work!
Brilliant, cheers mate!

I thing that's a typo

About HDMI audio, I have it enabled on my HD4890, and it doesn't cause any issues at all.

"MAY" not= "WILL".
A lot of it has to do with the equipment you have attached to the HDMI. For example, the Toshiba TV I have plugged into my Radeon 4200. If I change inputs on the TV, say to my satellite box, and then back to the radeon, then I get this awesome pink/purple mode (mismatched YUV vs RGB mode). It only works properly again after a full reinitialization of the connector, either by turning the TV completely off and then back on again, or by restarting the HTPC.

Please report this! Unfortunately we (developers) don't have access to every possible hardware and we need sometimes help of users. Just use bugzilla, or even dri-devel malinglist in domain lists.freedesktop.org.

What are the problems with passthrough? I didn't try DTS HD, but the rest seems to work fine.

Proprietary driver will only passthrough normal DTS and Dolby digital - DTS MA and Dolby TrueHD don't work, See http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=570

Already did... YEARS ago. Got told... "turn off hdmi audio". Screw that, soundless HTPC is kinda useless.

What about linking to that report? I probably missed that or couldn't help back then. I can try now but not without your help.

Zajec,

No. that bug is related to bandwidth limitations and underflow to the display controller.

I tell you what... I'm going to wait on the RS780 UVD support and run a complete upgrade on that machine, and at that point, I'll see if the problem persists. If it does, I'll be in touch with you at that time.
