HD 4000: Passthrough for HD audio formats

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Paul,

thanks a lot for your reply. I am not using Pulseaudio, just plain
ALSA. These are the software versions I am currently using:

Linux: 3.5.0 (always on latest stable)
Alsa: in-kernel driver, alsa-lib 1.0.25 (always on latest stable)
xf86-video-intel: 2.20.0 (always on latest stable)

I do not think these matter, but I'll include them nonetheless:
xorg-server: 1.12.2
libdrm: 2.4.33
mesa: 8.0.3

I am not using a Live-System. This is a Gentoo Linux system, booted from UEFI.

This is what is already working:
* 3D acceleration
* Sound (except from this very issue)
* DTS/Dolby Digital passthrough
* 7.1 LPCM

This is what does not work:
* DTS HD/Dolby TrueHD pass-through/bitstreaming through HDMI 1.3

The driver even recognizes the audio formats supported by my AV receiver:

I am not sure if this is a regression. I do not have any other Intel
systems I could use for testing (like Sandy Bridge or earlier), only
my Ivy Bridge build with a HD4000. I can only say that DTS HD
passthrough works in a similar Linux system with a NVidia GT 430 using
the command above, so it can neither be the cable's nor the receiver's
fault.
