Description Andy Furniss 2015-07-17 09:46:50 UTC
I have so far not managed to get any HDMI audio from my TV via R9 285.

I can get HDMI sound when connected to a monitor (with cpu load)

With other h/w this TV has recently been OK with a bit of messing around eg. extra run of xrandr + cpu load for R9 270x. RS880 and rv770 worked without the cpu load.

Added complication since getting a new mobo I sometimes get i2c edid read fails on the TV - but then it's not always and the rv770 produced them and worked and the tonga always works for sound with the TV in windows.

I noticed that for the TV the eld does not match what edid decode reports - it only shows one sample rate and shows "Fl/Fr C" when it's only 2 channel. TBH I don't know what eld said historically with different h/w.

edid-decode and eld for TV attached.

Patch to add tonga audio pciid

Forgot to say - the behavior is the same with or without my audio pciid added to kernel. 

Of course I don't know if the patch is right for amdgpu h/w (I did also test without the _NS but it made no difference).

Tv edid decode

I checked "Linear PCM, max channels 1" and it's an edid-decode issue the specs say it's stored -1 and the edid-decode code just reports what's in the data when it should really add one.

Another difference I notice between TV and monitor.

Results playing the same file in the same (well sort of I guess) mode.

If I poll the status like 

while true
do 
cat /proc/asound/card*/pcm3p/sub0/status
sleep 1 
done

I notice the TV has a different trigger time (what ever that is!) from the working monitor.

TV =

hw_ptr      : 3248362
appl_ptr    : 3260160
state: RUNNING
owner_pid   : 711
trigger_time: 8886.763851145
tstamp      : 0.000000000
delay       : 11721
avail       : 279
avail_max   : 279

monitor =

hw_ptr      : 1137764
appl_ptr    : 1149600
state: RUNNING
owner_pid   : 493
trigger_time: 2439.504907490
tstamp      : 0.000000000
delay       : 11643
avail       : 357
avail_max   : 357

I'll attach edid and eld from monitor.

Hmm well more messing around shows the it's variable on the monitor just got -

tv eld ubuntu fglrx

I do get sound from the TV with ubuntu 15.04 and fglrx (with cpu load).

The eld still doesn't quite match eded-decode as only 16 is listed as sample size but it is different from my OSS setup in that it just lists 

speakers		[0x1] FL/FR

rather than the eronious extra "C" in the tv - eld I previously attached.

debug/test diff

I played a bit more round this eld thing and it seems there is a bug - but it looks like it's the same for older radeon dce as well, and "fixing" it doesn't get me sound on the TV - it does of course make /proc/asound eld look saner.

The difference between my monitor and the TV is that the monitor has a speaker layout block and the TV doesn't. So the monitor hits the the "if" in the attached diff and the value of sadb[0] is 1. 

The TV hits the else and gets allocated a value of 5 which is commented as stereo, but according to the edid sections of CEA B and D stereo is 1 and 5 is just like I see in /proc/asound  Fl/Fr Fc.

Of course it's not a bug at all if you read FL/FR FC as stereo OR mono ...

Whatever it seems to be nothing to do with the issue here anyway.
