Audio stopped working with HDMI
Hi all,
few days back all of a suddent sound stopped coming from my raspberry PI. I am running XBian Beta 1.1. I connected a second with same disk, it is still the same issue. Reinstalled xbian and copied only userdata from old disk. No change. Is it possible that cable could have damaged. I don't have any other HDMI source or cable right now to test what went wrong. In system sessings. Audio Ouput : HDMI Speaker configuration : 2.0 Boost volume on downmix : Yes Output stereo to all speakers : Yes Dolby Digital (AC3) capable reciever : Yes DTS capabale reciver : Yes Contents of config.txt ====================== initramfs initramfs.gz 0x00a00000 arm_freq=840 core_freq=275 gpu_mem_256=128 gpu_mem_512=128 sdram_freq=400 over_voltage=0 disable_overscan=1 disable_splash=1 hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080 hdmi_group=1 hdmi_mode=16 hdmi_force_edid_audio=1 hdmi_drive=2 Thanks Deekshit M |

Re: Audio stopped working with HDMI
just a question,why do you have Dolby D and DTS enabled when you using only HDMI 2.0 ??? Guess you play sound from your TV stereo speakers so you shouldn't have those enabled

RE: Audio stopped working with HDMI
So it's not just happening to me then?
I didn't report it here as I have a couple of other issues on the go, but I can confirm that I have experienced the exact same thing. One minute it's working well for days, then nothing. The only solution is to power off the pi for 5 minutes ( and all attached equipment) and then restart it all. I have not found any hardware issues that account for it, but unplugging the HDMI from the pi when this happens causes a strange sound from the speakers. Normally there will be a 'click' or 'clunk' sound, but when the sound has stopped it's like a whistling sound that starts high in pitch and rapily goes lower (it reminds me of a balloon quickly deflating when I hear it). Maybe a capacitor discharging on the board (or off board)??? After resetting it can be days or weeks before it happnens again. Can you tell us more about your set up? (you can add it under your user profile to save re-typing it every time you post). Strange....One for the X-files! Skywatch. |

But it can be any device in your connection or even the cable or a bad PSU for RPi. I would start there, try to change the HDMI cable an if not than test the rest ~~~~>>>Please always follow rules and read before you post<<<~~~~ |

I am not sure at this point if it is an issue with my TV or cable. I don't feel HDMI cable can cause problem only for audio. So, it could be either TV or my XBian setup. Sometime back, my TV was showing only 720p resolution. This solution helped me to get 1080p. I got the solution for resolution problem from http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=21445 |

RE: Audio stopped working with HDMI
OK,thx for the info. Now try to remove all those hdmi_ lines and leave or add just these
Code: hdmi_group=1 And I have not asked if you use any AV Receiver (5.1 DD or/and DTS decoder) connected to your TV over Toslink or SPDIF (Digital Optical or Coaxial output). If Yes than your XBMC Audio output settings Also make sure you have your TV Audio settings right, means you have to have Digital Output ON/Passthrough !!! If no than you would have your sound just from TV speakers. Quote:Audio Ouput : HDMI If No than your XBMC Audio output settings Also make sure you have your TV Audio settings right, means you have to have Digital Output OFF !!! If no than you would have no sound at all from TV speakers. Quote:Audio Ouput : HDMI ~~~~>>>Please always follow rules and read before you post<<<~~~~ |

I don't have any receiver connected. RPi connects directly to TV. I didn't not find any option to change HDMI audio in TV. On RPI when I run 'tvservice', it shows me that my TV supports DTS and AC3 passthorugh |

RE: Audio stopped working with HDMI
OK, here should be a manual for your telly
read page 124 and make sure you dont have set the External Speaker ! You have to use TV Speaker option ! ~~~~>>>Please always follow rules and read before you post<<<~~~~ |

(23rd Aug, 2013 07:11 PM)dmantampfl Wrote:yes your telly supports both DD and DTS (where when used with internal speaker or even with extended wireless speaker connected to your TV) the DTS will be downmix to 2.0!Thats the limit of built in sound processor which can decode DD to 5.1 but 2.0 in DTS format!(23rd Aug, 2013 06:19 PM)rikardo1979 Wrote: OK,thx for the info. Now try to remove all those hdmi_ lines and leave or add just these So you may leave the XBMC Audio output sett to HDMI 5.1 with external decoders ON and your telly should take care and downmix all to 2.0. So its much better in your case as the RPi CPU do not need to be used to downmix the sound so it should work much smoother Hope it all make sense how I trying to explain ~~~~>>>Please always follow rules and read before you post<<<~~~~ |

RE: Audio stopped working with HDMI
Thank you very much for the link. My TV does not have such an option. May be a firmware upgrade is needed.
On RPi I changed the above settings. Still no audio. Looks like issue with TV ? |

RE: Audio stopped working with HDMI
does your TV has the optical connector at back? If it does, and Im pretty sure it does than you have to have such option.maybe a different place in menu maybe a different name but it have to be there somewhere.
