[x86-64] No DTS-HD MA on Intel NUC

It works great with the right HDMI port!

OMG - what a waste of research and testing time !!! Even in the manual there is no (fu.....) info that there is any difference in the two ports...

Thanks a lot!

What staff? I thought this OSS? And yes, everything here is a personal opinion, that is a given.

If there were a staff , no one would pay for it. Which is why this consumer/media stuff is being dropped by Intel and MS, see NUCs and Media center.

The intel bugs dating back to 11gen nucs? hd audio used to work but no more, since what, le10? Maybe it's back now? Everytime someone comes up with these old bugs, it always boils down to lacking support from Intel media people and Linux.

Afterall the nucs are HW-wise in a different league than the raspis, fully living room compliant devices with IR, mechanically sturdy and classic design. It really was a pity seeing these go.

I understand the devs fully, e.g. dropping the live-UHD playback issue after a blame-game for a year or so on github. Just admit that it's not worth the time and effort, that is absolutely OK. I'm not spending the time and effort either anymore.

That being said, I am just happy and thankful if anyone does pop up with a solution to problems at least on the more supported platforms, as long as they still work, but again, this is OSS, and no one is to blame if it doesn't fit your needs. Use the source, I'd say, but I've done that for now professionally for >45y in different areas, and know how long it takes to get acquainted with a different set of libraries, media stuff being not exactly a small set of specs. So, no, I'm not learning this (in the remaining time I have left )

I know of about 6 NUC11 users that never got their NUCs working until I mentioned this. I was one it the early days that just put my new NUC11 aside waiting for a LE fix until I stumbled on someone had ‘fixed’ it by simply using HDMI 1.

The reason I use NUCs is speed!

I have a couple of AMlogic players (Ugoos AM6B for Dovi FEL) but scanning my large Music library takes about 20 times longer than using a NUC with an NVME SSD (my recent NUCs have 2.5GBE Ethernet too and by network is 10GBE so that helps of course.

I do some Kodi customisation so testing needs rebuilds and rescans.
