EDID Overrides to solve bitstreaming issues for ATI 5xxx's - Page 104

WOW...there is a lot to read here...came across this thread from another forum trying to figure out why everything works in my setup other then Dolby TrueHD...seems this is the answer.

I have an ATI 5450 connected to a Denon 988 via HDMI...

My projector is a Panasonic AE7000U projector.

Sounds like I can solve a few problems with a custom EDID...can I pass through 3d and get Dolby True HD to work??

If so..what do I need to post? Seem like a realtime EDID capture is necessary...

Any and all help is truly appreciated!!

Next - I need to read all the info on installing and capturing the EDID info!

Tulli...

THanks for the response, but I'm confused. When I read your post linked to your signature, I seems to mention the exact problem I'm having...

I get all audio formats bit streamed to the Denon 988, except Dolby TrueHD.

The way I read your posts...the custom EDID will make a change to allow the system to bitstream the TrueHD audio.

I have the latest version of the codecs installed and used the latest version of MakeMVK to create the files.

I'll check the LAV settings...

Thanks,
eric

I do have the latest version of the AMD drivers, just updated today. Same results both before and after.

I'll go back and do some more checking on this....was hoping this was going to fix the problem!

Thanks

Thanks, works great!

Hello guys

I have a Pioneer PDP-5070HD and a Denon AVR1610 and I just got a new HTPC running XBMC which I like to leave on all the time and at random times when I turn off my Denon AVR1610 and then turn it back on hours later I have no signal from the HTPC at all. And even unplugging and replugging in the HDMI cable does not fix it. The only way to get a picture and sound back is to to a hard reset to the HTPC.

My HTPC has a AMD Radeon 6320 video card which also does True HD and DTS HD.

Could someone here point me to the correct EDID file that I would need and also how to install it?

I actually ordered a HDMI Detective Plus yesterday which I understand should fix my issue with losing the signal however then I remembered seeing this thread and was hoping it could save me the $85 that I just spent. I canceled the order for now just in case you guys can fix the issue for me

The HTPC HDMI is plugged into the Denon and the Denon HDMI is plugged into the Pioneer.

It is just driving me nuts when I turn on my Denon and Pioneer and there is no signal coming form the HTPC


Also If leave XBMC running with a video playing and turn off my Denon 1610. When I turn my Denon back on XBMC crashes to my desktop and I have to restart XBMC.
Also if I use the option "Use full screen rather then true full screen" in XBMC when I turn my Denon back on the video is running but really really slow!

Hope you guys can help

Thanks

Are you pretty sure the Gefen HDMI Detective would fix my issue?

Wonderful news!!

Thanks

Hey would you happen to have good setup advice for the Gefen HDMI Detective? Taking into account the hardware I have?

My setup HTPC HDMI is plugged into the Denon 1610 and the Denon 1610 HDMI is plugged into the Pioneer 5070.

Thanks for the info

Hi Tulli,

Another techie (me!) needs your help.

"No compressed formats found", 2 channel device visible for my SONY TV (KDL60EX720), connected via Windows 7 64 bit to my Sony AVR.


HTPC (Nvidia Geforce GT 430 HDMI) --> Sony AVR (STR-DH520) --> SONY TV.

Problem:

HTPC handshakes only with the Sony TV. No settings work to get it to handshake with the AVR (Should show SONY AVAMP, or something similar). This limits me to 2 channel audio, and no Dolby Digital decoding.

Tried installing Moninfo.exe, attempting EDID override. Sony TV shows 2 channels in EDID info, not sure how to modify it and dump it back into my HTPC to trick it to output 5.1 over HDMI.

Your help on where to start would be graciously appreciated.

I looked around this thread but I didn't see it (it's a long thread) - is there a link to a procedure for making the mod myself? Thanks.

Thanks for the info!

Although I'm beginning to suspect my issue may only be solvable with a Gefen HDMI detective. HTPC goes to sleep, I power off AVR, then wake up PC before I power on the AVR, and 50% of the time the PC refuses to see more than 2 channels of audio - other times, it goes into an infinite loop of detecting the AVR then detecting the monitor, then goes back to detecting the AVR again, over and over once every 3 seconds!

Hello

I've been looking for a solution as to how to get surround sound from my TV to my reciever, and EDID came up and eventually this thread.

I'm running a laptop with Mobility HD5650 connected to a Samsung UE46d5005 via HDMI and my Yamaha RX-V461 connected to the TV via toslink.

When i bought the RX-V461 it was a tricky bastard with its shiny "HDMI" label but it was ONLY passthrough as I've painstakingly learned and thus the toslink configuration.

My thougt was that if I could trick the computer to send multichannel sound to the TV, the TV would then bypass the audio to my reciever and voila!

So I am having a hard time getting my reciever's edid (duh) to make the custom .inf file, although I did try and make one with my TV's EDID and the EDID from an Yamaha RX-V6xx with no luck.

Am I even looking for an EDID here?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi everybody
I'm a new French member.
First of all i want to apologize for my bad english. Be sure i'll do my best to be as clear as possible...
I've got for a week my new onkyo txsr 608, and a gtx 560 ti 448 with a sony vpl-hw 20. I would like to bitstream all audio from my computer to my onkyo receiver. It works well for dolby digital and DTS, but it doesn't work for dts-hd and true hd. My receiver plays DTS instead of DTS-HD A french member of another forum says me it can be the edid which is "bad"(he find the solution here for his receiver ). I use mpc-hc with lav filter and ffdshow (well configurated with the help of topic on a french forum). If you think my problem can have some issues there...
A french member who thank you....

When I check the "Supported Formats" tab for the HDMI audio device properties, DTS-HD and Dolby true HD are not listed.
My receiver is not set to passthrough of my vpl hw20.
Ffdshow is set to bitstream all audio.
Thanks Tulli

Yes 1080p is native resolution. ok thank you. I'll try to do this.I'll do that this afternoon or tomorrow morning. It's not easy to understand the english instruction for me.

I manage to capture my edid for vpl-hw 20 and my onkyo txsr 608. I send you both. Thanks a lot.
