Hi all !

I already reported this problem here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49055 

I was also in emailing on this problem with Intel developer Wu Fengguang.
It is probably an Intel driver problem.
His last email (back in may) was:

"Hi Attila,

Sorry for the delay! During the time I consulted another Intel
developer but still remain clueless on this problem. I'll try to
reach the Windows driver developers for help..

Thanks,
Fengguang"


I'll try to ping him if there is any newson this.

Cheers,

Attila

Hi Paul,

thanks a lot for your reply. I am not using Pulseaudio, just plain
ALSA. These are the software versions I am currently using:

Linux: 3.5.0 (always on latest stable)
Alsa: in-kernel driver, alsa-lib 1.0.25 (always on latest stable)
xf86-video-intel: 2.20.0 (always on latest stable)

I do not think these matter, but I'll include them nonetheless:
xorg-server: 1.12.2
libdrm: 2.4.33
mesa: 8.0.3

I am not using a Live-System. This is a Gentoo Linux system, booted from UEFI.

This is what is already working:
* 3D acceleration
* Sound (except from this very issue)
* DTS/Dolby Digital passthrough
* 7.1 LPCM

This is what does not work:
* DTS HD/Dolby TrueHD pass-through/bitstreaming through HDMI 1.3

The driver even recognizes the audio formats supported by my AV receiver:

I am not sure if this is a regression. I do not have any other Intel
systems I could use for testing (like Sandy Bridge or earlier), only
my Ivy Bridge build with a HD4000. I can only say that DTS HD
passthrough works in a similar Linux system with a NVidia GT 430 using
the command above, so it can neither be the cable's nor the receiver's
fault.
