hi wasser,

this rom is for Rockchip 3188 - a different SoC than Minix X8, which is Amlogic

both boxes made by minix though. Different architecture

so no.

Pass through using spmc only produces static on my setup but works on wasser xbmc with the same setup. Maybe I should try it again to see if I can get it to work

SPMC may be able to process 5.1 and DTS but it only outputs a PCM data stream,
which rather defeats the object of the exercise

I agree with ngoal, setting passthru to be active and only static mush comes out.
The Wasser xbmc works perfectly

We just need to get the Sound Manager to remember its previous setting
Passthru, and we are home and dry

UPDATE - Minix Neo X7 - wasser firmware 1.0.4 - KitKat Android 4.4.2

I have SPMC working with passthrough (dd5.1 and dts) on SPDIF using the wasser rom 1.04 as a base on my X5. Also the rockchip stagefright works very well in the latest SPMC.

I tried SPMC 13.3 yesterday on a UT2 with Wasser 1.25 - No joy for me on passthrough. Just motorboating. But as I understand, tell me if I'm wrong, you need a hacked libmedia.so file. Where the @#$% do you get that?

I have the XBMC release of Gotham 13.2 Beta and it will pass it but the 4+GB file I test with stutters when it's activated.

I'm looking for a combo that will work.......

1.2.5 is a jellybean rom which probably doesn't have a libmedia.so that enables passthrough in XBMC. The 1.04 X7 ROM is a KitKat ROM that has the libmedia.so that enables passthrough.
In your case you can pick a libmedia.so from another 4.2.2 ROM (that does have a libmedia.so that enables passthrough) and replace it (don't forget tot set the permissions back)

No definitely not working on X7
Have tried hdmi and spdif passthru and all I get is static mush
with DD5.1 and DTS

Back to the drawing board

Thanks karel! Now, you had to know this was coming, what JB ROM has a hacked libmedia.so file?

Otherwise

I wait for slow old non-responsive Ugoos to give Wasser what he needs to get his ROM done
Or I can try flashing 1.04 to my UT2 (not sure how well that would go)
Don't really care what version of Android as long as it works with my UT2s (I have one that has the "T" chip)

Got a better option, I'm open to try anything that will work.

Feel free to PM me as I don't really want to hijack this thread from the X7

Looking at SPMC code, noticed that koying do a test to see if it is a minix device and only than activate the minix passthrough hack.

if (StringUtils::StartsWithNoCase(CJNIBuild:: HARDWARE, "rk3" ) && StringUtils::StartsWithNoCase(CJNIBuild::MODEL, "neo-x" )) // Minix
stream = CJNIAudioManager::STREAM_VOICE_CALL;
}

So i think you need the right model on build.prop to get passthrough on SPMC.

Your 100% correct. I just modified my build.prop back to original and passthrough is now working. Thank you, I now have spmc working 100%.

Could we modify the code or remove that line? Maybe change "rk3" and/or "neo-x" to " " ?
I don't know enough to even know what file that is contained in so I'm just taking a wild guess.

Hi All, I want to take backup of wasser ROM with current configuration. I searched for CWM recovery for kitkat in freaktab and did not see any useful info. Can someone guide me? Thanks.

Anyone can guide me pls for ROM backup with CWM or TWRP? I have seen procedures for JellyBean based ROMs. However, I've not seen anyone tested it on kitkat ROM. Thanks.

Probably easier to just modify your build.prop. use build prop editor available on playstore and backup your old one.
