EDID Override Thread - Page 12

post #331 of 2795
after I read all 11 pages forum here, very informative, thanks to everyone.
manage to resolved major issue but still left mirror issue need some advise here.

My Details & workaround:
1. HTPC(HD4850) -- Yamaha663 -- Dell2407 Monitor - failed
2. Update latest ATi 8.12 & try both ATi Realtek 2.09 & 2.13 - failed
3. use the EDID from RandomFoe in 1st post without modify - viola work !!!!

Issue now:
1. Receiver only show Stereo PCM even playing HD content video.
2. From Control Panel Sound, Show Microsoft HD but not ATI Realtek.
3. From Control Panel Sound, only have Stereo selection, DTS, Dolby Digital & WMA PRO all failed to playback, 48HZ too. DVD Quality Selection Gray out.
4. Try WindowsMediaPlayerClassic, 2 Channel PCM
5. Try PowerDVD8_Ultra, worse, totally no sound out: Audio Setting, HDMI & PCM, try also AC3 - failed.

anyone can figure out is the EDID INF file issue or the Driver issue?
How to get 7.1channel out by PCM?

I believe the success of what you're suggesting will heavily depend on the particular combination of components being used. In my case, the EDID that my surround sound processor seemed to be supplying to my ATI card wasn't allowing me to use 720p resolutions which I want for Windows desktop use so things are big enough to see from a distance (I switch to 1080p when watching videos, DVD's, etc.). Grabbing the EDID from the TV directly and then from the surround sound processor directly should be a bit more reliable in most cases as you're then sure to get the correct capabilities for each device and have no worries about the middle component coming up with the correct combination. I suspect that having a video processor in the surround sound processor only complicates things as it obviously has its own set of supported resolutions.

In short, overcoming the "detected as DVI and therefore no HDMI audio" problem doesn't involve "fixing" broken EDIDs (in most but not all cases). It does however require ATI's EDID detection process to be bypassed.

The "detected as DVI..." is only one of the issues that this EDID override solution is intended to resolve and certainly isn't what my post was responding to as I recall.
post #333 of 2795
seem like PowerDVD Ultra having issue in HDMI out Audio that no solution.
going to uninstall it try Arcsoft TotalMedia Theatre. or any other better player?
or perhaps Arcsoft TotalMedia Theatre also same boot with PDVD ?
anyone can share with me?

Yep. It relies on the AVR correctly passing on the capabilities of the display in a combined EDID which it should do in "pass-through" mode but I guess not always and if pass-through isn't enabled or a video processor is used it's a different matter as you suggest.

I can see why you had to use this method. As an aside, it's lucky that the first block from your display contained the DTD for 720p otherwise this method wouldn't have solved the problem and you'd have been into the realms of building a custom EDID . It does seem odd that your processor will happily accept 720p and output it correctly but doesn't advertise support for it. There ya go. It's an imperfect world

Agreed, but it is one of the main uses people are finding for it. Maybe I shouldn't have quoted you (sorry) it's just that I've been meaning to dispel the myth that you ALWAYS have to do this for a while now and your post provided the perfect opportunity.

No offense intended.

My HTPC still loses the EDID info at times when I switch inputs on my surround sound processor or turn it off. I've ordered an HDMI Detective Plus which I hope will solve the matter for good.

I have the Intel G35. I will try to create an inf and see if that helps. Thanks for the pointer to the HDMI detective plus.
post #336 of 2795
the problem I have now is I create the EDID override load it into the reg (ie install the inf), still get only stereo.
If I then check the EDID_OVERRIDE in the registry, it looks like the complete data gets bumped into EDID_BACKUP.

In other words I load a correct inf, then use moninfo to check the registry where the data strings (2x128 bytes) should be. The correct data for the monitor and the receiver is there, but it is under EDID_BACKUP. The EDID entry itself under EDID_OVERRIDE has removed the 2nd 128 bytes for the receiver for some reason.

I can even delete the EDID entry under EDID_OVERRIDE and rename the EDID_BACKUP to EDID, then I reboot and it gets bumped back to EDID_BACKUP.

In short my PC for whatever reason wont allow me to put the correct data in the registry.

strangly last night when I uninstalled the ATI driver all together, then used generic VGA driver I could set all the audio to whatever I wanted. So I guess that points to some problem in the ATI driver.

Am waiting on getting a DVI DETECTIVE and see how that goes.

Just thought I should also turn of the ATI polling process, can't remember the name.
post #337 of 2795
I don't know how to explain this, but I will try my best. I know this thread deals with EDID Override so you can have sound via HDMI. However, I haven't even made it past my video settings.

I just got the Onkyo TX-SR806 today. In preparation for this, I created a .inf file based on the instructions in this thread. As far as I can tell, the driver worked and the monitor was recognized as EDID Override. However, this was when I plugged my HDMI cord directly into my TV. When plugged directly into the TV, ATI CCC recognizes the monitor by its model number. My TV (Maxent MX-58HPT51) has a native resolution of 1360 x 768 and will go up to 1080i. On my HTPC, while viewing Vista's desktop, the only way to see anything is to set the resolution at 1360 x 768. When I run VMC, it is set to run at 1080i which looks fine.

Fast forward to today. I plugged everything into the TX-SR806. When I started the receiver, my monitor looked like crap. I have the receiver set to "Through," but it keeps trying to force 1080i on Vista's desktop which is causing me all sorts of problems.

I also noticed that when the HTPC is plugged directly into the TX-SR806, the monitor driver changes to "Generic Plug and Play Monitor" (not EDID Override) and ATI CCC recognizes the monitor as TX-SR806.

I realize that 1360 x 768 is not necessarily a supported resolution with this receiver. However, for my use, I don't need upscaling or any of that fancy video crap. I simply want my 1360 x 768 resolution to pass through the receiver with audio.

Am I correct that once I have the TX-SR806 plugged in, I need to update the monitor driver to EDID OVerride? Also, if I am able to update the driver (which contains the EDID settings for my TV), will I be able to run 1360 x 768 through this receiver?

Please tell me I am not SOL. Even though this receiver adheres to standard NTSC TV resolutions only, surely there is a way to override this.

Please help. I have 30 days to figure this out before I decide whether to send it back.

post #339 of 2795
This is a great thread! Plenty of good information.

I am replying to this thread because I have the same problem sort-of. I cannot pass video through my 5805 via hdmi on a HD4870. I do have audio. Without moninfo data, which I cannot get because of no graphics, how do I get the EDID data? Or maybe someone has a different fix? What I do know is that the receiver has hdmi set up to pass through the receiver, I tested with my sat receiver and I get graphics direct to my hdtv. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Paul

What does that mean - exactly? If you mean you get an error message saying "ERROR: no graphics cards found." then you probably either (a) aren't using the latest version and/or (b) didn't install the program properly. Try again.

Do you mean no picture when you're PC is connected through your receiver? If you get a picture when connected directly to your TV, then you should be in business. Do the following:

1) Connect the PC directly to your display and use Moninfo to capture the EDID information. Save this info in Notepad or another editor of your choice.

2) While still connected to the TV, make sure that Moninfo is the application that has focus.

3) Now connect the PC directly to your receiver with the monitor disconnected. It doesn't matter that you can't see what you're doing.

4) Wait 15-30 seconds for the EDID information to update and press F5 so that Moninfo will get a fresh snapshot.

5) Plug the PC back into your display and save the Moninfo data.

6) Use the steps described earlier in this thread to create your custom EDID inf driver and install it as your monitor.

Keep in mind that you still might have issues with the EDID info getting lost / reset when you switch inputs on your receiver and turn the receiver off and on. If you do, disabling the "Ati External Event" service (if using an ATI video card) ~might~ resolve it (it didn't in my case). If that still doesn't do the trick, you may need to use an HDMI Detective Plus so that EDID changes get blocked and the computer always thinks it's connected to the same thing regardless of what your receiver is doing.
post #342 of 2795
Thanks GSR. That is exactly the information that I was looking to receive. I now have the AVR data to create the file.

I will more than likely have additional questions and appreciate the help.

FYI, the card is an ATI HD4870x2 into a Denon AVR5805 to a Sony LCD.
I will report progress back.

Thank you,
Paul
post #343 of 2795
Well, I had no problems with modifying the driver. An exercise in how not to get carpal tunnel! Anyway still no graphics through the AVR. I'll start a new thread.

Thanks,

post #346 of 2795
This was really a very helpful thread. I was not able to get any sound from my HK AVR 255 connected to ATI 4550. But with this information, i can get sound through my receiver.

I have just one more problem to solve and that is i can not get DTS/Dolby digital to pass to the AVR. I can get PCM 7.1.

Any ideas if it is possible with ATI 4550 and how ?
post #347 of 2795
Well I have through this thread numerous time and while it could be better orginized there is a lot of helpfull info. I have been trying to get HDMI+Audio out from my 4850 and a 4350 that I have without success. I have installed 8.12 Catalyst with the RealTek HDMI drive. I have also edited the edid info file and installed it.

I am currently running Windows 7 beta 7000.

This TV has Optical Out which sais it will let any audio coming to the tv pass thru. I can get Audio from my cable box, but nothing from the PC.

One other note, I notice numerous comments about adding 0x to each of the 128 entries from the moninfo program. Just curious why nobody has suggested using the save inf file then loading the info file and copying the same info that already has the 0x in it. Secondly, why wouldn't it work just to direct the device manager under monitors to this extract inf file. Anyhow neither way has worked for me.

Lastly, prior to finding this thread, I had called ATI and was told that this issue is supposed to be resolved in February. Being as how it has been around for quite some time I would not hold my breath.

Anyhow any suggestions would be appreciated. BTW, I also tried the 1st post file.

Here is my tv code

What are you not getting? Your HDMI audio just won't recognize that the Vizio can accept Dolby Digital, or it does recognize that but the Vizio isn't passing it on? I had the former problem and had to use AC3Filter to get around it because I'm on XP and the workaround is for Vista and later only.

Don't know if you used that data verbatim, but I see two problems with it: one, there are numerous spaces in the middle of the hex digits, which can't be good. Perhaps it's an artifact of the way you cut and pasted. Regardless, that EDID tells the HDMI device that you only have 2-channel Dolby Digital. Of course that's nonsense, but the hex string:

23 11 07 03

is pretty convincing to an unsuspecting HDMI audio driver. Changing it to 5.1 channels with

23 15 07 03

should improve matters, and I think you'd just have to change the checksum byte at the end to BE instead of C2.
post #351 of 2795
Thanks for responding. The spaces in the data I supplied I think is just from the forum itself because it looks ok in the inf file.

I think it is more than that though, because my tv still shows up as DTV and now HDMI like everyone is posting it should do.

I am going to try your changes here in a few minutes and I will post my results.

Thanks, and to answer your other question, I don't think I am getting any audio at all. Windows 7 is reporting not connected for the ATI HDMI Driver.
post #352 of 2795
So I made the changes you suggested and it didn't appear to change anything. Interesting though I ran moninfo and I noticed something different in the real time read

I noticed the second set of numbers changed. In particular the last hex number changed to D2. Anyhow I am going to try it to see what happens.

If I changed the surround part the 23 11 07 to 23 15 07 what should the last hex be?

Thanks

The EDID override worked a treat for me on my denon 2809 (just upgraded from a sony DG-910 which didn't have any problems by the way).

However it's reverting to thinking it is a DVI device if I go in/out of sleep mode. Any solutions to this issue, and any way to reset it using eg a batch file/application (hdmimon didn't work) without resorting to a reboot?

i have the setup: laptop to the dvdo edge (a videoprocessor) that splits the hdmi signal into video and audio. the audio should go to the yamaha 663 (european version if there is any difference) and the picture to my sanyo plv z700 beamer. should i put in the videoprocessor as monitor 1 and the yamaha data for line 2? what i find confusing is that my yamaha data says nothing about audio setup like i´ve seen it in other users data:

In order for CCC to see your 780G's HDMI output as an HDMI and not DVI you MUST set that accordingly in the BIOS. Go into your BIOS and look for an HDMI-related option. If it is set to output as a DVI connection then CCC will see it as a DVI connection and thus won't allow the Pixel Format setting. However, if you set it to output as an HDMI connection then all is well.

I had the exact same problem over this past weekend on the same motherboard.

I noticed the second set of numbers changed. In particular the last hex number changed to D2. Anyhow I am going to try it to see what happens.

If I changed the surround part the 23 11 07 to 23 15 07 what should the last hex be?

If it was D2, it should now be CE. Basically, if you increase one value (11 to 15), you decrease the checksum byte by the same value so when totalled together the bytes all equal zero.

Hey guys

I have the 2 channel stereo issue over hdmi on my HTPC ...will the EDID fix work for me?

Specs:
780g mobo (hdmi to receiver, hdmi from receiver to 720p projector)
5.1 speakers
Marantz 720p projector
Pio VSX1018 receiver.

I've already reloaded the Realtek hdmi drivers, etc but can't get around the 2 channel stereo sound.

The CCC displays my monitor as 'generic'.

Thanks

PS: If this will work, does anyone have the EDID info for the Pio 1018 and Marantz projector?

Hello, I applaud the work of all who posted here. A damn shame the whole HDMI spec if you ask me, but that is a whole other story. My question for the powers that be is as follows:
First I realize this fix is for Vista nd I am running XP - I can fix that. But what I really want to know is if my issue is likely due to the same factors (EDID info). I have a asus M3A78-EM mobo with a Sony STR-DA5200ES and a KDS60A2020. When I connect HDMI direct to the TV I have full 1920x1080 60hz, when I connect the HDMI to the STR-DA5200ES I get no output to the TV from the HDMI out of the receiver.

Is this likely the same issue and I should follow the steps recommended?(After changing os to Vista)?
post #359 of 2795
Okay....ran the ute and got results for both my projector (connected directly to PC via hdmi) and my Pio AVR (PC connected to AVR).

Edited using notepad and saved the file. When loading it, windows tells me it encountered invalid data (I suppose a typo error somewhere).

Here's my final version for my sources:
Marantz VP4001 projector
Pio VSX10108 receiver

Can someone please take a look to see what I'm doing wrong?

Highly appreciated.
