That's right, internal DVB-S or Netflix app deliver sound to the AVR via that link just fine.
So maybe you're right and the TV can't handle 5.1 PCM from its HDMI input.
My AVR claims to have ARC implemented, so I need to give it another try. Maybe that's a solution.
Otherwise I'd need to replace the AVR with a newer one which can handle HDMI 2.0.
Hi everyone,
I refer to this kind of setup
LE8.90 (Intel NUC) => TV (HDMI 2.0) => AV receiver (via optical connection, could not get ARC to work)
It's setup like this as my AV only supports HDMI 1.4/1080 and I want to have implement 4k this way.
Viewing video files is ok and audio is passed through this chain just fine.
I know that streaming Live TV from a tvheadend server prohibits pass-through and that Kodi needs to decode.
But 5.1 sound does not get through to my speakers.
I did an additional test with a file where I disabled pass-through manually. Same here, no 5.1 at my speakers.
If I connect LE via HDMI 1.4 to my AV and stream TV this way, 5.1 sound is ok (still, no pass-through obviously).
Any suggestions how to trouble-shoot?
Interesting. Another PSU didn't do the trick.
So maybe something with the COM port is odd.
Still wainting for the FLIRC dongle, but otherwise I won't bother anymore.
Thanks for your support, guys!
Hi, thanks for the very valuable input! Much appreciated.
(Very) Randomly a key stroke is interpreted correctly, so the assumptions make sense to me.
Given especially the fact that the case includes a picoPSU like PSU which I wouldn't trust too much.
I will give a try later (latest tomorrow) with a different power supply attached.
I've been using the IR-Einschalter for years, so it's still Rev 4. Most probably I'll go for a FLIRC for this setup, though.
So, here is output of ir-ctl -r from a single button:

timeout 60000Hi, I am using this one: index.php (sorry, German)
I assume in the end it's pretty simple TSOP, ir-keytable recognizes it as serial home brew.
I assume +5V is fine as this unit also takes care to power on the system (as a remote function to the power button) and this depends on standby power.
I will post the raw data later when I am back home.
It's 8.2.5 and 9.0 alpha, tried both.
I am wondering if anyone has successfully implemented a serial IR receiver on this particular mainboard?
I have/had several other x86_64 hardware in use with serial IR receivers, using MCE remote controls. In the past, I configured lirc manually, now I am pleased to use the integrated new approach in LE.
What I did: installed the same IR receiver, LE installation and remote control as in one of the working systems.
ir-keytable -t doesn't show any events recognized.
ir-ctl -r does show pulses and spaces, but also timeout events (which I haven't observed on the working system).
I wonder if there is something special about the COM port on this mainboard?
