Hi, we encounter an issue on ApolloLake platform. Our system includes a HDMI 2.0 port which is DP 1.2 à LSPCON (Parade PS176) à HDMI 2.0. We found that this port cannot pass through HBR audio streams (i.e., Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA) under Linux. However video is playing correctly. And the other native HDMI 1.4 port can pass through those audio formats. We tested this issue under Unbuntu 16.04 and 17.04. And we upgraded Linux kernel to the latest one: v4.12 and KODI 17.3. The result is the same. However, this port can pass through Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD under Windows-10 (using KODI software) without problems
Reproduce procedure: We connect HDMI 2.0 interface in ApolloLake platform to a AVR which can decode Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD. And connect AVR HDMI output interface to a HDMI monitor / TV. You can download the test files through http://www.demo-world.eu/2d-demo-trailers-hd/
Hello Samuel, Could you please attach dmesg with drm.debug=0xe parameter on grub and check if the AVR has any new firmware and update it if applies? Thank you.
Created attachment 132947 [details] dmesg with drm.debug=0xe parameter Hi, Attach file is the dmesg with drm.debug=0xe parameter. And I have checked the AVR firmware is the latest version.

Hello Johnny, It seems that Jani found the probable root-cause of this problem, (In reply to Jani Nikula from comment #4) > (In reply to Joseph Nuzman from comment #0) > > Observation: on all working kernels, audio connection type is detected as > > "DisplayPort".

It looks like DP to the driver. A different approach is going to be taken, working all the problems at once.

Marking as dupe. > > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 101583 *** Please refer to bug 101583 to keep track of the problem. Updates are going to be added in that bug, and new information also will be asked there when needed. Hopefully this will lead to the solution. Thanks for your patience.
Hi, Bug 101583 is not the same issue. We have HDMI audio output. The issue is "DP 1.2 LSPCON (Parade PS176) HDMI 2.0 port cannot pass through HBR audio streams (i.e., Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA) " Thanks

There are some patches and workarounds that may be helpful, while the audio team works on the case. Thanks.
Hi, Not helpful. The patches on this bug is "HDMI audio noise issue". Our issue is "ApolloLake DP 1.2 LSPCON (Parade PS176) HDMI 2.0 port cannot pass through Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD MA under Linux". Thanks.
Sorry, the dupe target was wrong. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 98797 ***
Hi, Bug 98797 DP is MegaChips. We use the LSPCON (Parade PS176) on our system. Not the same issue.
(In reply to samuelchueh from comment #13) > Hi, > Bug 98797 DP is MegaChips. We use the LSPCON (Parade PS176) on our system. > Not the same issue. Actually it is. Jani is getting to the final root cause analysis here. The issue has to do with which output (hdmi vs dp) the drm-tip driver is receiving. It doesn't matter if its the Parade or the Megachips LSPCon, the same issue is experienced with both on Linux. I have been tracking this issue on Plex for some time now. I can reproduce this on any system that emulates HDMI2.0 through a DP controller via LSPCon.

Hi, This issue not resolved. Please don't change the status. We are waiting for the i915 driver solution. Thanks.
We already have a bug on LSPCON audio passthrough issues with i915, and that is bug 98797. There is no evidence the bug depends on the LSPCON vendor, Megachips vs. Parade. The i915 driver has no code to distinguish between the two, there's just a generic LSPCON driver. Please follow-up at bug 98797, and do not reopen, unless you come up with evidence that your bug is different. Thank you. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 98797 ***
