EDID Override Thread - Page 69

The problem I'm experiencing is an odd one. When I play games or browse the web, the video on the LG is perfect. When I try to play tv (Ceton InfiniTV4) or watch a blu-ray, the screen displays the image, but moved over ~10%, with a black bar to the right. If I turn off the receiver, then turn it back on, it fixes the problem with TV, but not with BluRays (stops playback and says that the system isn't HDCP compliant).

Troubleshooting I've tried:
Updated firmware on AVR and drivers/software on GT430--no improvement

Connected GT430=>LG plasma via HDMI--worked perfectly, no image shift.

Called Onkyo to see if there's a setting I don't know of--that was fruitless and caused me to reset my receiver's firmware for no good reason.

The reason I'm thinking it is something to do with EDID is because it's only when dealing with HDCP sources, so I think the system is checking something and getting a bad value in response, then adjusting the viewable portion in response.

Is this related to EDID? This issue is causing my wife to doubt my HTPC project, and it's otherwise a wonderfully fast machine (I'll post full specs in the show your build thread when I've finalized the SATA wires and zip-tied it all) that I'm sure will last for years.

OK, try the attached EDID override. As always, 2 channels applies only to LPCM. Just set your application to send a compressed audio stream.

By "set your application to send a compressed audio stream", did you mean set my audio decoders to s/pdif passthrough? Or is there another setting I should use?

Yes, s/pdif passthrough. Check that AC3 & DTS are listed on the "Supported Formats" window for the HDMI audio device.

They're not.

I think you're saying that I should hook up both the HDMI and the DVI out, with the HDMI to the TV and the DVI to the AVR, or vice versa, right? Then I route the audio through the wire to the AVR, and the video through the other cable? Would it be easier to just run a Toslink to the AVR and the video through DVI or HDMI to the tv?

My problem is my tv says it can only output 2 channel sound when connect with a hdmi device..

But this is what i want to try, i will try to get the tv detected as 5.1 as i think the tv will just pass 5.1 to my receiver and then i can get the full surround experience..

Can you make this EDID override so i can detect my tv as 5.1 ?

Great work btw..

here is the file http://www.2shared.com/file/5yINBITM...UE40D6505.html

It should work for you.

2 channels = 2 LPCM (uncompressed) channels,

i. e., S/PDIF has not enough bandwidth for multichanel LPCM .

But if DD or DTS are listed under the "Supported Formats" window for the HDMI audio device properties you can perfectly passthrough a multicchannel compressed audio stream (DD or DTS).

Then set your application audio to output 5.1 DD (I don't think DTS will work for over the Samsung) and it should work.

If DD and DTS are not listed under "Supported Formats" check the EDID override installation procedure (see my sig.).

Here is a picture under coded formats it now says DTS and DD i suppose that what its been done with the override..
But still only 2 channels show..
So i cant understand how i can play surround.

Now, for 5.1 DD to work the application (i. e. a video player) must send of course a 5.1 DD audio stream. It must accordingly be set to NOT decode, or just passthrough, the DD audio stream.

What application are you using?

Anyway, when I was in ATI land, it came up as DVI on the monitor, picture was sharp, just no audio. Got sick of the low ram in my old PCIe and onboard ATI solution to get 2 outputs, so got a nice new evga nvidia 210 card with a gig on it (so now aero should stay running for more than a day)

Anyway, the screen came up as HDMI with a shockingly fuzzy make you go blind picture. But I had audio, which I wanted all along but never bothered to look into on the ATI card as I was lazy.

A edid override from somewhere else sorted it out, and now the 1080 mode came up along with a heap of other PC modes, whereas before I only had 2 modes - 1024x something and something even worse. However choosing those aweful modes gave me a sharp picture (but small) and audio.

So, is there a chance that combining 2 EDID blocks would give me the 1080 mode showing as a PC mode, so not blurred to hell by the nvidia card/driver for whatever reason, and also get stereo audio to the TV as well. I want it for skyping since using the big stereo for that means that everyone can hear my calls
