Wakeup from sleep no longer produces a blank screen.


BTW, i rolled back to the generic monitor driver before installing 8.12 and also used a driver cleaner.

Well happy at the moment, hope nothing shows up later.

Also for me the HUGE issue was waking from sleep when AVR/TV were off. I would then turn them on and get blank screen. Is that what was happening for you?

Thanks.

A couple of things is noticed on the way when wanting to make sure edid override was having no affect.

1. Rolling back the driver to generic monitor left the edid override value in the registry.
2. Uninstalling the generic monitor from device manager and rebooting was effective at clearing the changes from the registry.

OS: VISTA 32 ULT.
DRIVERS: Catalyst 8.12 / REALTEK 2.09 / ATI HDMI 2.09

TV: Philips 32PFLl7762D/12
RECEIVER: no receiver

The TV is left as a primary monitor connected through HDMI-HDMI cable (the mobo have hdmi out.)

Result: Device not plugged in under HDMI in playback devices.

As the problem persist despite the new drivers suppose have to try the EDID override procedure

Moninfo is giving the foll info:

Do I understand it right the in my case have to put the first 4 rows of the real time data in HKR,EDID_OVERRIDE,"0" and the second part in HKR,EDID_OVERRIDE,"1 ", so to look as foll:

Thanks in advance for the help and advise!

As I see it, the EDED info which is in my registry includes only the first 4 lines of raw information. Dosnt this mean that there is no information that the PC can transmit the audio stream to the attached devise - in this case the TV? And as a result the HDMI devise is reported as not plugged in?

well.. I`ve a Denon 1909 and HIS ATI HD4850 (his support doesn`t exist!) i connected the 4850 to the receiver with dvi-hdmi adapter and hdmi-hdmi cable, no matter what dvi port on the graphics card, or hdmi port on the receiver I use, i can't get audio from the card.

with or without monitor plugged to the receiver.

I tested various drivers versions, modifying EDID like posted above, and no solution, the denon is still detected as dvi device, with hdmi realtek driver i can get the "realtek hda audio output" audio controller but doesnt work!!

tried everything.. im soooo tired...

any with this config working? can send me any help!?

i bought this card for de hdmi audio, and receiver with hdmi hd audio decoder for playing games good and also for htpc but it refuses to work good

Ok, assuming you have it saved as an .inf file, this is what you do:

Open device manager, right click on the monitor (should be 'generic pnp monitor' or something like that) and chose 'update driver'

in the box that comes up, there's 2 options. the "search automatically" and "browse my computer". Click on "browse my computer"

In that window you'll get an address box and below an option to "let me pick from a list of drivers on my computer", choose the 'let me pick' option.

IN that window you'll click the 'have disk' option. Once that's opened you'll click 'browse' and then locate your inf file and hit open and then ok.

Once you have done that, in the box you should see something like MS EDID overide. choose that and click next. WIndows will install the new driver (make sure you click the 'install anyway' box when it comes up!) and you should get audio.

maybe I write a bad inf or some, later will post my edid info and my .inf, maybe is something wrong, but last time the denon was detected as dvi and no audio detected on it.!

merry christmas too, and thanks for help =D
I'm avoiding format, much programs for reinstall

Looks ok, just make sure each line is one continuous line when you paste them into the .inf, ie no unwanted line breaks/carriage returns or spaces.

Do not try to modify that EDIDOverride.zip file, just use it like it is to update your GenericPnP Monitor drivers, reinstall REALTEKATIHDMIAUDIO, reboot & you'll see in CCC a SamsungTV as HDMI Device and that's it!

HDMI is not recognized

SO the 8.12 does not "repaire" the HDMI bug and introduced a new bug with totalmedia

Really a good job from ATI

I have a Sony 55A2020, Onkyo SE-674 and a just bought (have not even received it yet) a HIS H467QS512P Radeon HD 4670. Am I going to be without audio over HDMI unless I do as axell and others have posted?

If you were in my situation, would you just send the card back to newegg and buy a nVidia?

But its my impression that this workaround that is posted should be relatively simple, probably will only take about 15 minutes of your time, and then won't have to be touched again.

NVidia's cards by the way still require an internal header from your onboard audio to the video card for the audio, as far as I know. ATI's implementation of HDMI audio might not be the greatest yet (mostly because of drivers), but as far as I'm concerned NVidia's is a step backward from that.

I used the posted info somewhere on avsforum for the info for the AVR1909 and used moninfo to get the parameters from my Westinghouse LVM-37W3, and its working great. My only issues were a problem with my Media Center setup which was easily fixed, and guessing which of my two monitors, both of which showed as Generic PnP monitor, was the one connected to the receiver. Looks like I guessed right that the top one was my primary monitor.
