Christiaan and Christian :-), Rafal,
what's the status of the HDMI RS690 audio patch? Is it finished, or are you guys still fiddling with it?
No need to hurry, I just don't want to have this dropped on the floor, and maybe you guys are waiting eagerly for this to be committed ;-)
Can't tell you anything about code itself, I don't know much about drivers programming. However can more-or-less sum up current (last-known?) status: 1) AFAIK tested only on one RS690 (do you have some RS690 to test it? guess would be nice) 2) Works for sending "normal" sound as well as pass through (both AC3 and DTS). Earlier reported problems were caused by kernel modules for alsa. 3) Doesn't cause regressions on M82 (RV620) 4) I still wasn't able to test second version of patch for regressions on RV635 :/ I'm fighting with my Seagate 7200.11 "black serie" which switched itself to some /emergency/ mode. 5) Last time there were sill some audio drop outs on RS690. Christiaan van Dijk noticed some interesting clocks relations: http://lists.opensuse.org/radeonhd/2009-04/msg00290.html If there were some more interesting discussion since (5) I wasn't included ;) I'm very interested about that part:
Another side effect is noticeable in the video playback; playback is very smooth with the lower resolution. In the 1920x1080 resolution playback is not smooth.
I belive I also experienced that. Playing some movie on my notebook (1600x900) was smooth, but not anymore after switching to 1920x1080 HD TV. I have to test that, measure somehow. Will post if I notice something. -- Rafał Miłecki -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
