HDMI Audio with Stereo Profile

deisi · 2019-01-06 13:55:37

HDMI Audio only works if I use a a 7.1 or 5.1 Digital Surround HDMI profile in pulse audio. This is okay, but I only have two speakers and I wonder what is going on here.

My Setup

[benutzer@serv ~]$ uname -a

Linux serv 4.14.88-1-lts #1 SMP Thu Dec 13 16:16:08 CET 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux

extra/pulseaudio 12.2-2 [installed]

And I use gnome 3.30.2

I also tried current 4.19 kernel. But I see the same

PC is connected to a Denon AVR-X2400H via HDMI

I changed default sample rate of pulse audio in ~/.config/pulse/daemon.conf with:

default-sample-rate = 48000
; alternate-sample-rate = 44100

the rest of pulse audio setting is default. I added some sinks and stuff but should not play a role here I think.

Observations

If I select output:hdmi-stereo: I have no audio. Also video gets stuck and doesn't play. However this only happens if alternate-sample-rate = 44100 is set. Once I removed this, video was playing but still no sound.

If I select either output:hdmi-surround or output:hdmi-surround71 sound works, although it works better If I select output:hdmi-surround71 output:hdmi-surround leads to dropouts and at some point delay between video and audio. Same happens for output:hdmi-surround71 but only after some time and it can usually be fixed by changing profile or rebooting. This issue is one of the reasons why I want to understand what is going on here because system works but is not reliable.

Here is the pactl list sinks of the broken stereo setup:

If alternate-sample-rate = 44100 was set, this also was set to 44100 in the stereo profile unlike in the case of the below given 7.1. profile. Here it was 48000 no matter the alternate-sample-rate.

So there are quite some differences between the profiles but I cant really make sense of it. In particular the description of the also output up on changing the profile confuses me.
If the description says HDMI, it doesn't work, if the description says analoge-stereo it works, even though the profile I selected was called 7.1.

Here is also some debug log of pulse audio if I switch to the broken stereo profile during streaming something.

And this I: [alsa-sink-HDMI 0] alsa-sink.c: Increasing minimal latency to 1.00 ms and on block repeats with increasing times I think forever.

Another observation I made is with the AVR-Receiver. Within its setting I can check its audio settings and if profile is 7.1 it correctly get the sample rate of 48 KHz and shows a Format of 3/4/.1 and I assume this is the speaker setting, so it is indeed a 7.1. signal. If I have the stereo profile running, the AVR-Receiver just says unknown in all these fields. So I guess it either gets no signal or doesn't know what to do with the signal.

So anybody has an idea what is going on here?
