Installed a hd 5450 card to replace onboard hd 3200.


connected it with hdmi to receiver pioneer VSX-919, and hdmi to tv.


When the htpc is started, theres a light on the receiver that its connected.

When turning on the tv the receiver dispalys hdcp error and no picture.


connecting hdmi straight to tv and it works.


any ideas?


Used:

1 hour just to fit the card in the small case.

1/2 hour to find out why there was no picture with hdmi\\dvi before reading the manual that onboard must be disabled.

45 min. to find a vga cable to get into bios.


And now this

Which motherboard do you have?

Are the latest drivers installed?

 

[johnxxsmith]

I have the gigabyte GA-MA78GM-US2H (rev. 1.0)


New drivers (use a program to detect those)


Luckily i had teamviewer and input director on it the first time i tried it. So i knew it worked after messing with that card.

Strange, usually Gigabyte boards are smart, meaning you don't have to disable onboard video. In my Asus, I simply plugged it in and it took it from there, even though I believe the manual states that the onboard should be disabled.

Did you try switching different inputs on your receiver?

Also, do you have AnyDVD?

What do you mean by 'New drivers (use a program to detect those)'?

I dont have anydvd hd yet, but isnt that just for playback?


I tried again and it worked, then a reboot and not.


I think it must be the receiver, but have no clue.

Did the onboard video chip work over HDMI through the receiver?

 

[johnxxsmith]

The onboard hd 3200 worked fine with the receiver. Searched and


HD 3200 is HDCP compliant, and 5450 is HDCP-capable.

 

[walford]

Thbe 5450 should not be checking the receiver for HDCP complience unless you are palying something like a Blu-Ray disk which requires HDCP when using HDMI.

I imagine the HDCP capable and HDCP complient mean the the same thing.

Have you tried different powerup sequences such as TV, Receiver, and then PC? I ask since apparently you got it to work once.

 

[johnxxsmith]

Now its working, when i turned on the tv first then receiver. No idea if that will last.


Tested a dts-hd file and receiver showed dts-hd mstr.
