Kikat - Wasser Firmware for Beelink R89

[bloodgnome]

Sadly i don't have any AV receiver at home. could it be that this issue only appears by using ac receiver? I really want to fix anoying issue, but i need a simple testcase which allows me to reproduce this issue!

Thanks,
Wasser

Hi Wasser,

I installed Catlog and will post the crash logs as soon as they occour.

As for the Audio-Mute Bug: I don't have a AV Receiver the R89 is connected directly to my TV and still the audio mute bug happens every now and then.

[bloodgnome]

Could you please post the logcat from the crash so i can have a look?

Thanks

Hi Wasser,

here are 3 Catlogs:

https://mega.co.nz/#!LtlyQLBK!AnB5y94uSnIjjjcqW6KItK7h6f0-lB-s5YVtTIEo1HE

2 from Youtube (After the End of a Video) and one from that Magine App.

It seems to happen when a current youtube vid ends...and on magine if you exit to the desktop. Hope this logcats help.

Greets and thanks for all the support.

Is there someone who can upload v2.0.8 to google drive since the download link has been down for a few days now?

The easiest way to replicate is to use HDMI bitstream output using an AV receiver.
Open Youtube and play a stereo video . Don't stop or pause it
Right click on a mouse to exit Youtube while the video is still playing.
Open SPMC with passthrough correctly set up
Play a DTS MKV video. Make sure that your receiver detects the 5.1 DTS audio
Let this play for an hour
Pause it
Wait an hour (If an hour doesn't work let it sit overnight)
Right click on the mouse to exit or swipe up with the mouse and hit home
Go back to Youtube and the audio will be muted since Youtube doesn't use passthrough.

Unfortunately all of your roms have had the muting issue on stereo audio feeds. The muting doesn't affect the 5.1 DTS passthrough audio HDMI bitstream in SPMC or MX Player. The muting only affects stereo audio like Youtube, Pandora, Vevo, iHeartRadio, PBS kids, Youtube Kids...

I was also able to reproduce this with SPIDF passthrough too. FYI when I use SPIDF or HDMI bitstream audio output none of the normal Android OS beeps and sounds ever heard. I doesn't bother me but just an observation.

I haven't tried yet to replicate the muting issue with my R28 hooked directly to my TV via HDMI or SPIDF. I've always used a Yamaha or Pioneer AV receiver.

I don't know if this helps but when the RK3188 roms had a similar muting issue some fix was made to allow the default output to handle HDMI bitstream.. You had to know to pick the default output and not choose HDMI bitstream.

I personally think its an EDID detection bug....... but theres no saying im right

Is it possible to stop making the enter key equal left click/tap screen.

Does v2.0.8 work with the Tronsmart Orion remote?

I think you may be correct. My brand new Samsung TV and fairly new Yamaha receiver has never had the muting issue. I can put any of my Tronsmart R28 boxes on that Yamaha receiver and it never has the muting problem. My older Panasonic TV's and older Yamaha and Pioneer receivers always have the muting problem.

I have watched the muting issue happen in the middle of a Youtube video. I've been in the middle of adjusting the audio and had the OS mute it on me in the middle of a Youtube video and not at the end of a song.

could someone please give me a simple testcase how i can always reproduce the audio-mute bug?
Does this bug happen in my previous firmware? if not which Firmware version?

It's really strange that i cannot reproduce it

Thanks
Wasser

Can you fix the EDID and see if that fixes the issue? EDID only works on one of my TVs and monitors. The TV that EDID works on never has the muting issue. (FYI this was Lawless' idea).

Hi Wasser

The guys from Open hour discovered the below:

Edit:
- HDMI Bitstream doesn't have sound or getting white noise. After investigation, we found out this happen to DTS/DTS-MA HD/AC3 when Frame Rate Sync option is enabled. It happen in both Native Player and SPMC as well.

We found out when frame rate sync try to switch the HDMI output, it could cause HDMI bitstream lost audio sometime. Already feedback this issue to Rockchip.

I think that this could be the problem that we face (random mute or white noise).

To all you guys that have the same problem please disable the frame rate sync from android and spmc and give it a try.
I change it for the weekend and since then the issue wasn't appeared again.

I use wasser 2.0.8 with spmc 14.02.
my connectivity is Tronsmart R28 meta -- HDMI 2.0v cable --> AV Receiver (Philips) --HDMI cable 1.4v --> TV (Philips Cineos)

Is it possible to stop making the enter key equal left click/tap screen.

if you go into settings and language and switch of hardware keyboard i think thats correct it stops it classing the enter key as a left mouse click. Trust me its just a setting thats need changing and the keyboard still woks

Can you fix the EDID and see if that fixes the issue? EDID only works on one of my TVs and monitors. The TV that EDID works on never has the muting issue. (FYI this was Lawless' idea).

I know you can inject or spoof a fake EDID. Im pretty sure its and EDID detection problem because if i move the box to another tv it will mute and if I change input on my amp and then back to the box I lose sound until I go back to the sound settings

You can also get little inline boxes that do this for you

How do you disable the frame rate sync in Android? My SPMC frame rate sync was already disabled by default and still had audio muting issues.
