Core i7, i5 & i3 LGA1156 Processors Thread: Clarkdale Supports HD Audio Bitstreaming! - Page 85

I definitely notice the weird deinterlacing artifacts described. I am also using x64 7MC and native codecs.

I didn't realize that "Intel HD Graphics" meant that SD would look like this...

As far as I know I have WMC set to use all native codecs. The only exception is that I have Media Browser set to use an external player for TS/M2TS files. For those I use MPC+FFDSHOW so that I can have TrueHD and DTS-MA bitstream, and because WMC doesn't support TS streams. But that should not affect TV.

My understanding is to use anything but native, you have to disable either media foundation or directshow but renaming dll's in system32. Right now none of this is done.

That doesn't mean I'm not having audio issues though. The only reason I don't suspect it is that the audio sounds perfect. I have no problems with it. When there are stutters and such, the audio plays perfectly. Only the video is messed up.

Now this I've seen, but it was back on the G965 system on WinXP. Wasn't just analog, though, it was anything 480i except DVD.

Any known remedy - besides don't watch 480i? I usually don't watch a whole lot of SD, but Fox Soccer is only on in SD in my area and lately there has been a bunch of games I wanted to watch.

So you haven't seen this on the Clarkdales? Only reason this is an issue is my HDHR pulls in a ton of digital 480i SD clearQam channels.

I haven't, nor on my wife's GM965 laptop. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, I'm just saying I've not seen it in a while. I recall getting around it with a codec which forced bob, but that resulted in cartoon-like motion artifacts.

Hello, for the weird deinterlacing artifacts, uncheck the option of film mode detection in the video control panel in the media section.

Yes, that did the trick, thanks!

Will that negatively affect any other sources like 1080i HDTV movies?

Hello everybody. Me again. Sorry I've been clogging up the thread with questions, but every time I get past some issue I've got another two that come up.

I finally found the "secret sauce" that gets my Gigabyte H55M-S2H build running. Using Windows 7 32-bit and installing only the graphics and audio drivers available on Gigabyte's website was the trick (sorta). I was still not getting audio no matter what other driver modifications I performed. However, when I let the Intel TV Wizard run I got the beloved "MultiCh" to display on my receiver and sweet,sweet sound to come from my speakers. I know, the TV Wizard is out of date, but it's the ONLY thing that makes audio over HDMI work.

But now I've got a host of other problems.
1) I can only run at 1920x1080 or 1280x720 (the native resolution on my Pioneer is 1365x768 and it supports PC displays at 1360x768). If I try to change the resolution the receiver will not pass the video or audio signal through to the TV. This isn't such a terrible thing, as the picture is only slightly out of focus at 1080p or 720p. However, I think it's related to the next problem:

2) Windows Media Center won't display either a picture or sound. I think (but am not sure) this is probably because WMC is set at 768p. Is there any way to reset WMC? I have tried setting my audio to 2-channel, but that doesn't solve the problem. Boxee works just fine, though.

3) Blu-ray through PowerDVD 8 doesn't work. I can see the FBI warnings perfectly, but the rest doesn't. Sometimes I get a screen that's black and white with vertical white pinstripes running through it; other times I get an out-of-focus image that's got a copy protection watermark on it. I'm assuming there's an HDCP issue here. Any ideas?

Thanks!

This is because you need to install the latest Intel MEI driver from Intel.

Is that for use on Gigabyte boards as well as Intel boards?

I don't use that and I was able to play back a Blu-ray on my GA-H55M-USB3 board.

I'm in a similar situation with my TV. It supports its native resolution with VGA (1360x768) but not over HMDI. With HDMI I'm limited to 720p or 1080i, these modes also overscan the image. What I have done is to run extended desktop with my primary display being my VGA and extended display being HDMI. The VGA goes directly to my display and HDMI output goes to my receiver.

You should install that regardless of board manuf. It's part of PAVP for bitstreaming and blu-ray HDCP playback.

Thanks for the info. Gigabyte provides the chipset .inf files and the HD graphics drivers, but I don't recall the MEI drivers on the board drivers download page.

It's not on their downloads page, but it is on the drivers CD that came with the board, or you can get it from Intel's website if you lookup drivers for an Intel board with H55 chipset. I have PowerDVD8 working now with this very board, with DXVA.

Ahh, I see. I used the disc at initial install and didn't pay any attention to it so that must be why I had no problem with BR playback.

Your #2293
I can't get any heterogeneous setup with a gt220 and H55M-UD2H. Boot is on Nvidia with any setting. Had better luck with 5450 but Nvidia output is better than ATI on my display.

Davin, have a look at these links:

Has anyone had a trouble with Dolby TrueHD with TMT?
Last night, I played "Chris Botti in Boston" ripped iso file with TMT.
While LPCM worked, with Dolby TrueHD 7.1, there was no audio.

Can you help? Thanks!

Also, with any setting, BIOS setup always shows in PCIE, with Nvidia and ATI. Also, I had 5450 in display manager but after S3 - no and never saw Intel with gt220. Discouraging

So no luck with the 24p issue yet? I am on the fence myself to build a new HTPC myself. I own 2 Samsungs that do 24p so I do not want to settle for the 60p setting.

24p works, but it is not the purist definition of 23.976 fps. Rather, it is close to 24.000 fps. Because most BDs are mastered at 23.976 fps, there will occasionally be repeated frames when it is being played back at 24.000 fps. Some people notice it (I can), and it is just one of those annoying little things that can take you a bit out of the movie experience.

Use Reclock for now. It is the best solution.

New video drivers 2102 for W7/Vista released. Testing now.

Anyone know why this driver is only released for Intel boards and not the general HD Graphics?

Typical

When I left the office tonight I thought "should I steal the test rig this weekend" and concluded NO nothing is going to happen over the next four days

Should have known better

Looking forward to feedback as I'm not going back 'til Tuesday!

It'll work just fine for none Intel boards (as always). Don't know why 3rd party vendors take so long to catch up (actually I do but don't let it stop you trying the new drivers).
