my bad!
i edited the WRONG hdmi setting
i uncommented the config_hdmi_boost=4 item, which clearly didn't help
in my research i looked at the online info about other options for the
hdmi settings in the config file and used all three of these:
Code:
--------------------
# ignores edid info
hdmi_ignore_edid=0xa5000080
# pretends all audio format are supported by the display, even bitstream
passthrough
hdmi_force_edid_audio=1
#normal HDMI mode (sends sound even if it thinks it's dvi)
hdmi_drive=2
--------------------
I did the ignore edid just to avoid issues there. And the force_edid
one in the hope that I could bitsream DTS or multi-channel flac from the
LMS. That doesn't work. Multi channel flac ends up being two channel
(not clear if it's a downmix but I think it is, does the LMS do that?).
The DTS (which is in a WAV file) was just white noise.
And of course, the hdmi_drive=2 is probably the only thing that really
made a difference.
I was able to play MP3, WAV 44.1/16 which showed up on the receiver as
44.1, FLAC 44.1, 88, and 96 and those showed up correctly too.
Somewhere I have some 192 files but I couldn't recall where.
This is VERY cool. If it handled multi-channel stuff, that would be
heaven. I think it's perhaps a limitation of the LMS, and not
specifically of the Pi or this software, but it's hard to know.
Anyway, awesome hack. Love this software!
