That's right, with current git I don't have to use Option Audio true anymore. However I still need to use Option "HDMI" "DVI-D 1" on my M82 with PANEL, VGA and HDMI outputs.
Is this possible to make audio working in future without this hack? I don't mean HDMI outputs only but also cards with DVI outputs that are able to transfer audio.
Rafael, this is not a hack. I doubt that we want to enable audio indiscriminately on all tmds based outputs, as even our dell monitor refuses to sync to its claimed preferred mode when there's audio on the same signal. When edid handling is extended, some things might start happening automatically, but even then you still should need to force audio on displays that do not advertise this.
Ah, I didn't know we have any known situation of mode setting broken by enabling audio (in HDMI). I had to miss some mail. Do we know if your case is caused by some driver issue that can be fixed or is this hardware bug? Do you have any plans of investigating that? :) -- Rafał Miłecki
