Ive been doing some poking about to see if it is possible to get HDMI audio working via the HDMI output of my ABIT iL-90MV. It is currently my belief that the xf86-video-intel driver does not support HDMI Audio on the i945GT chipset?
I'm utilising (II) LoadModule: "intel" (II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//intel_drv.so (II) Module intel: vendor="X.Org Foundation" compiled for 1.6.5, module version = 2.9.1 on 2.6.31-gentoo-r6 Although video works fine via HDMI Ive confirmed that the driver itself does not detect my HDMI output presumably this is something to do with the EDID process? Specifically the is_hdmi flag is being set false during check hdmi. If I manually set the SDVO_AUDIO_ENABLE flag and the is_hdmi flag there is no change. I can however trick the Alsa patch_intelhdmi into giving me an HDMI audio connector, this of course does not work. What Im trying to establish is whether or not its going to be practical to get this working i.e. how much work is involved and if its not too bad whereabouts in the code to start looking and perhaps some hints on what needs changing. If someone could shed some more light on this it would be appreciated, I can of course post additional details as required.
