R89-Hardware/Thermal/case issue feedback here

[clarkss12]

Okey,waiting for other guys' feedback...then let me think about the next step..

Appreciate if you can give me the dmesg and logcat...for the first option

Oman, Did you down load the dmesg and logcat I posted for you at my Dropbox?

Not had time to test the new downloaded firware proparly but stock xbmc with hdmi arc transcoding enabled reciever says dolby with 5.1 sound but sound is there only 0.1 seconds every 1 seconds.

DTS is also wrongly shown as DOLBY on my reciever with transcoding enabled.

Without transcoding enabled sound is normal stereo and my reciever does not say dolby or dts.

Did not yet test with SPMC but the with 108 the same settings both HDMI and SDIF give hissing sound only. There is strange different behavior between sound in stock xbmc and spmc!

Both default and hdmi bitstream tested with same result.

EDIT:
SPMC now tested, transcoding enabled hissing sound both dolby and dts.
Transcoding not enabled dolby is normal stereo and dts gives hissing sound.

With stock xbmc MASHUP, DEMON88 1080p videos are not entirely smoth and that could be part of the reason why surround is not working proparly.

With xbmc get green screen when movie has played 10 minutes with some DEAMON88 (Mashup) for example Movie named Heatstroke.

With SPMC same videos runs much smother and conntinues to play after 10 minutes without problems.

OK,thx

are you using the OTG-adapter you got with the box?
I recognized that mine doesn't really fits to the port (try to use it to recharge a remote (minix m1) but lost often the power if I touch the cable)...

Yes, I checked that it fit the OTG port ok, also I had another OTG adapter that I tired, still could not get it to work.

Unfortunately, I can't get my computer to connect to this box...

I tried an app to get the info you need. Here is the Dropbox link for my file. Hope it helps.

Tried both of these suggestions, with my receiver volume maxed out, still no audio.
But on a side note, this update fixed the video problem I had with your 108k4 update.
So, video is great
Ethernet is great
When the audio through HDMI to A/V receiver is fixed, you will have a winner.

Okey,let's clarify the real situation.

1.Select Setting->Sound->Default Output, make your Receiver and TV the max volume,Play a normal video(No Dolby/DTS) via Stock RKvideoplayer/xbmc ,can it sound out?

2.Select Setting->Sound->HDMI Bitstream, make your Receiver and TV the max volume,Play a Dolby/DTS video via Stock RKvideoplayer/xbmc ,can it sound out 5.1?

I just flashed your update (September 4), still no sound from HDMI through Harmon Kardon receiver.

I modify something...will upload the update.zip..

Here is my test result:

Firstly,you should select the right option:


For spdif passthrough,select the second one..
For HDMI passthrough,select the third one..



Select all this audio passthrough options.


Then,

If not passthrough way,no Dolby/DTS can sound out by stock rkvideoplayer

If spdif passthrough, stock rkvideoplayer cant decode DD+ sound..but with xbmc is fine..
If HDMI passthrough,all seem fine..

Pls check it...I dont want push to OTA,just a test zip..

Here to download->update.zip

Put the update.zip to sd card or eMMC via usb OTG..then it will find it..

BTW,the HDMI 2.0 3180*2160 50/60Hz is also added,Talas ,pls check this.

With Minix x8h surround is perfect.

Same here.

[ssspacman]

With Minix x8h surround is perfect.

[goldenrod]

Yes, I get HDMI passthrough including surround sound in XBMC using an S89 and a Fire TV.

[oman]

Yes, my Minix X8-H works just fine, as did the Mk808 stick before it. I tried both "default output " and "HDMI bitstream" without success.

Any way I can provide some useful data for you?

So only you cant get any sound out via AV receiver?

Pls dmesg and give it to me.

I cannot either get xbmc passthrough to work after todays update. Get dolby 5.1 throug sdif with transcoding enabled. With hdmi transcoding not working proparly, dolby flashes all the time and get sound 0.1 seconds every 2 seconds. All options in soundmanager tested without succes. I get sound but it is not dolby 5.1, it is just stereo.

I have not been able to get any audio output from HDMI through my Hardon Karmon A/V receiver, with either of the roms. My other android boxes, even Rockchip RK3188 boxes have no problem. The audio works just fine going straight into the TV. I have not tried the SPDIF port to my receiver.

It's the same for my Onkyo receiver -- no audio through HDMI. It works through spdif, but no surround sound that way, just stereo.

All 3 of you have sound via AV receiver,but no HDMI passthrough?
