Title: Panda: hdmi audio only on 2 channels Status in Linaro Texas Instruments Landing Team: New Status in Linaro Multimedia WG project: Confirmed Status in Linaro Ubuntu Evaluation Builds: Confirmed Bug description: Installed the linarotv image 20120114-2 and hwpack_linaro-lt-panda-x11-base_20120106-1 on a Pandaboard ES with linaro-media-create. After boot installed ubuntu-omap4-extras-multimedia. HDMI connected to a Yamaha RX-V1800 audio-video-receiver and from there to a 1080p plasma. Verified multichannel audio with xbmc. xbmc settings: Audio output: HDMI Speaker Configuration: 5.1 Audio output device: Defaults (ALSA) Passthrough output devive: hdmi (ALSA) 1. when passthrough is enabled AC3 sound in videos does not work 2. when passthrough is disabled only 2 audio channels are transmitted to the AVR (AVR display has indicators showing which channels are in use) Crosschecked with alsa speaker-test (speaker-test -c6 -t wav) with same result: Output correct for front left, front right and center (the latter only because the pro-logic decoder in the AVR puts sound equal to left and right onto the center) but rear sound is played with low volume on the front speakers. Situation remains after update/dist-upgrade on Jan 21. 20:45CET. Attaching the EDID sent by the AVR in case the audio capabilities are used by the driver (EDID is recorded with SwitchResX on a MacBook).
