I'm looking for a point in the right direction. I initially thought I was having drivers issues due to the incredibly bad ATI drivers for my recent computer build (12.6, 12.7, 12.8 none work well; currently on 12.8).
I run a Win7 64bit OS with an XFX radeon 7970 video card on a ASUS P8Z77V Deluxe motherboard that is supposed to support the lossless codecs of my BR and HD DVD collections with no down sampling in the chain at up to 192kHz. If I was just using integrated graphics on my i7-3770k and the hdmi out of the motherboard I doubt I'd have issues, though I have not tested it.
My preferred setup is PC - Yamaha RX-V3900 - LG 46' LE5400.
I plan to bitstream audio to the receiver for decoding (though I'll need a software solution as the free powerdvd10 bundled with my BR drive only supports LPCM; which is fine for now). Since I'm fairly certain I get better video processing with the 7970, I have HDMI set to passthrough on the receiver with no scaling. Audio is set to amp, not amp-tv.
My initial issues were the usual video drop outs when switching between inputs and devices and the 10% underscan reset in CCC. However, now the PC will not even boot correctly unless I'm directly connected to my monitor (system errors, blue screens, or other odd behavior that doesn't allow win7 to boot when connected to the receiver). Due to the boot issue, I can no longer start the computer connected to the receiver; I have to connect to the tv directly and then swap the hdmi cable from the PS3 after booting up. While this worked a few times, it was a pain. Now, after the cable swap I no longer get audio...it appears to be a handshake issue that causes a constant switching loop and the amp won't select an audio format. Is it possible it's as basic as a conflict between the realtek hd audio drivers and the 12.8 catalyst drivers? Though I've installed it, no realtek ATI HDMI driver appears under device manager (I'm sure it used to).
When I ran MonInfo I also got this odd result:
Model name............... LG TV
Windows description...... Generic PnP Monitor LG TV
Manufacturer............. LGE
Plug and Play ID......... GSM0001
Serial number............ n/a
Manufacture date......... 2010, ISO week 1
Filter driver............ Monitor
EDID revision............ 1.3
Input signal type........ Digital
Color bit depth.......... Undefined
Display type............. RGB color
Screen size.............. 160 x 90 mm (7.2 in)
Power management......... Not supported
Extension blocs.......... 1 (Unknown - 0x00)result:
The monitor is 46 or 48' yet registers only 7.2 inches! Connected directly, native resolution is 1920x1080p. When I ran it again through the receiver I get "Native/preferred timing.. 1280x720p at 60Hz (16:9)." This is odd b/c the receiver should also show 1920x1080p.
I guess my question is whether these problems sounds familiar to anyone? I'm willing to try the EDID override, (or the Gefen HDMI detective, if I have too, ugh) but the thread seems to apply mainly to denon, onkyo and sony receivers (though the initial post by RandonFoe was a Yamaha rx-v series receiver). If the override still works for Yamaha can someone please let me know or link to an .inf file thats worked for them?
If this didn't deserve it's own thread, sorry, I'm just at wits end and didn't expect to drop $2k on a 4k-ready paperweight...sigh.
