[Bug 919378] Re: Panda: hdmi audio only on 2 channels
The hw supports multi-channel HDMI out (which isn't going thru TWL,
fwiw).. but from what I can tell the upstream hdmi-audio driver does not
yet. I think there are versions floating around in the past which have,
but there is a lot of hdmi related cleanup still ongoing between dss
hdmi, and asoc.

Title:
Panda: hdmi audio only on 2 channels
Status in Linaro Texas Instruments Landing Team:
Won't Fix
Status in Linaro Multimedia WG project:
Confirmed
Status in Linaro Ubuntu Evaluation Builds:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Installed the linarotv image 20120114-2 and hwpack_linaro-lt-panda-x11-base_20120106-1 on a Pandaboard ES with linaro-media-create.
After boot installed ubuntu-omap4-extras-multimedia.
HDMI connected to a Yamaha RX-V1800 audio-video-receiver and from
there to a 1080p plasma.
Verified multichannel audio with xbmc.
xbmc settings:
Audio output: HDMI
Speaker Configuration: 5.1
Audio output device: Defaults (ALSA)
Passthrough output devive: hdmi (ALSA)
1. when passthrough is enabled AC3 sound in videos does not work
2. when passthrough is disabled only 2 audio channels are transmitted
to the AVR (AVR display has indicators showing which channels are in
use)
Crosschecked with alsa speaker-test (speaker-test -c6 -t wav) with
same result:
Output correct for front left, front right and center (the latter only
because the pro-logic decoder in the AVR puts sound equal to left and
right onto the center) but rear sound is played with low volume on the
front speakers.
Situation remains after update/dist-upgrade on Jan 21. 20:45CET.
Attaching the EDID sent by the AVR in case the audio capabilities are
used by the driver (EDID is recorded with SwitchResX on a MacBook).
