KDE4 randr + Samsung TV HDMI [SOLVED]

Hello, I have following HW config:
HP laptop with Radeon HD 6370 with HDMI output
Samsung LED TV UE46c6500, native resolution 1920x1080
Laptop display resolution is 1600x900
When I connect laptop with TV using HDMI cable and message saying "new monitor connected " appears. Then I can configure new monitor. So far so good. I can select native resolution of TV and I can see a KDE desktop on TV. But this desktop is cropped. On each side some pixels are missing.I If I align resolution of laptop and TV, desktop is fine, nothing is missing but sound over HDMI stops working.
I want to use TV for XBMC and neither missing information nor missing sound is not acceptable for that.
Questions:
1) how to fix missing part of desktop with native TV's resolution (preferred) or at least audio with different resolution?
2) is there any better plug-play solution for XBMC? I mean I want to connect laptop to TV only when I want to watch movies. It will not be used exclusively for that and I do not want to spend 10 minutes each time I want to run XBMC and then another time to switch back to standard operation.
Thanks!

I'm afraid I'm not understanding this to much but there's a thing or two:
1) you probably want to make your TV as a second extended display (in matter of fact the bullet-proof solution is to switch to TV entirely and switch-off laptop display: make your TV main and only display, this way you won't get hassle with multi-display bugs e.g tearing, main/secondary full sreen issues etc.) I'm afraid that cloning with different resolutions might not work.
2) go and check your HDMI's on back of your TV and look for "PC" signed one, Samsung actually did that on my TV and on HDMI-1 I was unable to set up native resolution, on HDMI-2 which was made as a PC input - everything worked out-of-box
3) I know nothing about audio through HDMI on Linux
About question number 2:
- you mean something like script that will detect hdmi cable, switch your displays and run XBMC? That's probably doable but as soon as you set-up your TV correctly changing display shouldn't take more time than 15s. Just leave a HDMI cable plugged to your TV all the time, go with a laptop whenever you need it, plug HDMI to your laptop, click inside KDE like 2 or 3 times and that's all (you can send krandr icon to tray too so you won't be looking at systemsetting all the time)

When plugging Apple TV into my samsung tv hdmi port nothing comes up. Actually my Sat TV plays on that same HDMI inport

Check these troubleshooting steps:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1551?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Specifically I wonder if the AppleTV may be trying to connect with an unsupported resolution giving a black screen. Try cycling display resolutions using these remote commands in step 6:
If your TV screen appears fuzzy or black (you see no video)
Make sure the television you are using supports the Apple TV resolution requirements. Please see the Apple TV technical specifications.
When you connect power, check to make sure the LED turns on. If the LED is not on, then verify with a known good power outlet or connect something else to the outlet you're using for Apple TV and make sure it works (such as a lamp or clock).
Make sure you're using the correct video cables and that they are connected firmly to Apple TV and to your TV.
Connect the HDMI cable directly into the Apple TV and your television, remove any third party devices or adapters.
Make sure the input setting you've selected on your TV matches the input you have your video cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your TV for more information.
Change the Apple TV resolution by pressing and holding the Menu and Up button for six seconds. The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals. Pressing the Select button will immediately cycle to the next resolution.
If you are connected via HDMI, try unplugging and replugging your HDMI cable.
If HDMI isn't working on an Apple TV (1st generation), try component cables instead (and disconnect the HDMI cable temporarily). Read more about HDMI vs component video.

Overscan in X but though HDMI [SOLVED]

Recently, when my machine comes into lxde, the desktop area is larger than the monitor can display. Best way I can describe this is that I can hardly see the top and bottom panels. I thought that it could be something screwy in a user-level file in ~ so I made a fresh user and tried it but with similar results. Very confused.
Hardware: nvidia GT520 connected to a Samsung HDTV via HDMI (native resolution is 1920x1080).

I just wanted to say thank you for posting this - I had the exact same issue with my onboard Intel graphics card outputting HDMI to a Bush TV and setting the picture mode to "1:1" (instead of the more obvious "16:9") worked perfectly.

MacBook Pro Connecting to a Samsung TV HDMI trouble. Please help ^^

Hi, I have been trying to connect my Macbook Pro to my Samsung TV LE32B530P7W (HDTV) with a MINI DISPLAYPORT to HDMI adapter and then the HDMI cable to the TV, but nothing shows up on the TV (it says no signal), what should I do to make it work?? Do I need to change settings on the Mac? on the TV? Also, the Mac's screen flashes blue as if it recognizes an external screen but the tv says "no signal"....
I have also tried clicking on GatherWindows and Detect Display but nothing happens...
please help XD

I've never heard of that brand, but I can tell you that the StarTech HDMI cable works fine on my 50" LG TV. Not all HDMI cables are created equal, and the HDMI spec is a moving target. When I connected mine, the MBP started flashing, looking for displays, and I switched the TV to that HDMI input while the MBP was looking. It sync'd perfectly. I've also got the genuine Apple DVI adapter, and got nothing on the same TV.

5.1 Surround over HDMI: Solve one problem, another rises up.

UPDATE 1: After a good night's sleep, and after doing a bit more reading on alsa-project.org (big props to this page), I managed to get a much better ~/.asoundrc together. It solves all my problems, and I can do everything I need. I've preserved the post below in case anyone else runs into these issues, and I'll post my solution as a response to this post.
UPDATE 2: Looks like I celebrated too early. Got more strange problems. Screw it, I'm going back to PulseAudio. I just wrote a wrapper script to kill and restart Pulse for applications that really, really need ALSA.
Okay. I've almost completely worn out my fingers trying to get this working. I feel like I'm playing Whack-a-Mole. This is a bit of a lengthy post, but I'll try my best to describe every problem I've encountered in as much detail as I can, followed by the solutions I found, followed by the problems each solution brought with it. By going through everything this way, mole by mole, hopefully it'll be easy to follow along and help me come to a universally working solution.
Summarized Version of Problems:
5.1 surround works only on specific applications which are robust enough to allow me to manually specify audio output options, and only if ALSA isn't configured at all
once I've configured ALSA, sound works on every application, but it's all downmixed to 2.0 stereo from this point on
installing PulseAudio lets me choose 5.1 surround as a default, but brings with it its own problems and drawbacks, namely the lack of passthrough support for encoded streams
Long-Winded Version:
I have my computer connected over HDMI to an AVR with a 5.1 surround speaker system. At first, I didn't have anything configured in ~/.asoundrc (or its global equivalent, /etc/asound.conf). Neither file existed, so everything was running off defaults. I got the name and device number of my card from aplay, ran speaker-test and played a six-channel test file in mplayer.

Everything seemed well, all six channels played from the correct location on both tests, but I did realize that the device number of the card was 3, not 0. A lot of applications that aren't as configurable expect the default card/device to be set properly, and audio won't work in those applications without specifying that in ALSA's configuration. Knowing this, I set the following in my ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.!default {
type hw
card HDMI
device 3
ctl.!default {
type hw
card HDMI
device 3
This, however, ended up causing more problems. Oh, it made sound work on everything by default after that, but only for one application at a time! That surpised me, as I thought ALSA's big advantage over OSS is that it can multitask. Running the speaker-test the way I did earlier turned out fine, but when I tried playing that test file in mplayer, things got weird again. Here's the output from mplayer:

Why the hell is it looking for pcmC0D0p? It should be looking at pcmC0D3p. Did it not get the memo from ~/.asoundrc? Urgh.
I've also tried '-af channels=6' in place of '-channels 6' but the same result happened. It does the same thing without the '-ao alsa' option, I just specified it to trim down the output, so that I wouldn't be copying and pasting all kinds of other errors about not finding OSS or JACK or other things I don't have installed.
If I symlink /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p to /dev/snd/pcmC0D3p, it'll fix the problem, but that feels like one ugly kludge. I'd have to do it again over and over every time I reboot, too.
Not sure if this would help matters or not, but if anyone knows how to change my card's device number from 3 to 0, I'd like to try that as well, but I'm not sure how to do that sort of thing. I'm just guessing it might be worth trying, since everything looks for card0/device0 by default, and that kludge I tried earlier did have an effect, so maybe if we can just switch those device numbers with each other, everything would work smoothly without having to force anything through ALSA's configuration at all. I believe card0/device0 belongs to the Host Bridge... is there a way to have them trade their device numbers for one another's in a safe manner?
I can also get it to play if I specify the device like I did in my first test, using '-ao alsa:device=hdmi', but that defeats the purpose of getting good defaults set if I still have to set everything by hand before I play something. If I try playing the test file without any options, like so:
$ mplayer Nums_5dot1_24_48000.wav
... it will play, but only in two-channel stereo, and the parts that should happen in the center, rear and LFE channels get downmixed into the left and right channels.
I can get it to work in aplay, though! All six channels! Not that I plan on using this as my primary multimedia software.
$ aplay -c6 Nums_5dot1_24_48000.wav
The only solution I found so far that allows me to have 5.1 audio by default is to install the PulseAudio server, which is able to find a sink/source named 'alsa_output.pci-0000_00_03.0.hdmi-surround' and lets me choose that as my default. Only problem with this is that PulseAudio has its own problems.
Aside from the crackling sound issues in some Wine games, Pulse also has a much bigger drawback -- a complete lack of passthrough support, meaning I can't use encoded streams such as Dolby DTS and TrueHD with PulseAudio. I have a Harman/Kardon AVR and I'd like to get my money's worth out of it, so I'd really like to figure out a solution in ALSA without using Pulse at all.
Does anyone know how I can have my cake and eat it, too? I just need 5.1 surround, by default, in ALSA without PulseAudio.
HUGE thanks to anyone who tries to help here. This is really making me sad and frustrated, I've been using Arch for quite a while now and this is the first real big stumper I've come across that forced me to post a thread. Otherwise I've been having a wonderful time.
Edited because I tried something different that removed *some* issues, but the above problems still remain.

Well, I thought I fixed it doing this...
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1138
ipc_key_add_uid true
slave {
pcm "hw:0,3"
format S32_LE
channels 8
rate 192000
period_size 9600
buffer_size 38400
... but then realized it strangely makes applications that run at 640x480 have no sound at all. No idea why the video resolution is screwing up the sound, but that's what's happening, because if I set the resolution any higher, the sound comes back.
I'm going back to PulseAudio, I feel like ALSA is mocking me. I wrote a wrapper script for the few times where pure, Pulse-less ALSA will be necessary for me. Here it is, in case it helps anyone else. I've tested it with XBMC, it turns off Pulse and allows ALSA to pass through encoded streams unhindered. It also works with some Wine applications that have scratchy audio glitches in Pulse.
#!/bin/bash
echo "autospawn = no" > $HOME/.config/pulse/client.conf
pulseaudio --kill &> /dev/null
"$*"
rm -f $HOME/.config/pulse/client.conf
pulseaudio --start &> /dev/null
I'm removing the SOLVED tag because technically I didn't resolve any of my original issues, I more or less gave up on what I wanted to do and found another way to satisfy my needs, but it still isn't as elegant as I had hoped for. In any case, I'm done with this issue for now and the forseeable near-future, but if anyone has anything further to add, feel free.

Samsung TV-HDMI Cable Crackling noise during video play

I have a Samsung Plasma 50inch. Just connected the HDMI cable and audio/video works great except when they're working at the same time. If I watch any movies/videos, there is a crackling noise coming from the speakers. (If I mute the TV, the crackling noise disappears.) Any suggestions on what I should do? New cable? TV issue? I'm currently using a Belkin HDMI cable.
Thanks!

It could be a problem with the cable box. Connect your cable directly to the TV and see if you still have this problem, if you do call Samsung, if it goes away call your cable company.

Samsung and Networking solved

Hi all,
I'm not sure if this was ever solved. Some months ago a lot of people in here had problems with their MIDlets connecting to the network. Well, if you're on the cingular network I do have a solution. (The same works for T-Mobile but I don't have the APN setting).
On your Samsung type in: *#9998*5282#
This will take you to a special menu. Choose GPRS. Then select APN option and edit the content. The NEW content should say wap.cingularExit the menu and run your MIDlet. Works like a charm.

Sounds like Samsung will SEND you a replacement door - free - so you will not be without your phone at all. Now this may also depend on how you approach Samsung.
The $100 sounds like the deductible if you file a claim for replacement of the whole device through Asurion.
You choose - free door from Samsung, refurbished insurance replacement with $100 deductible, or do nothing and complain about it.

Dv-1015ea- no sound from TV via HDMI- solved

hi guys
i had a problem with sound from TV via HDMI from my DV5- 1015ea. i had gone through almost all the threads but the solution was pretty similar. here is how i solved it.
i have windows 7 ultimate 64 bit.
go to device manager and open Sound, video and game controllers
it should bring IDT HD audio CODEC (or appropriate driver/device name,depending on your machine) and
NIVIDIA HD audio (again dependent on your machine).
now right click on each one in turn and just select update driver.
after its done (dont restart your pc yet, even if it asks you to)
right click on the speaker icon/ audio icon on right side of your task bar
open playback devices
a new playback device should be there, called something along the lines "NVIDIA HDMI output" which should have a tv icon next to it
single click on it and select SET DEFAULT just under the icons in the window of playback devices.
now try playing something on PC and you should be able to watch and hear from your tv.
**this was done with hdmi connected to the TV and the tv should be displaying the same as your PC screen.

KDE4 ignores font hinting settings [solved: qt bug, fixed in 4.5]

Full hinting enabled in Gnome and KDE:
Slight hinting enabled in Gnome and KDE:
KDE seems to ignore the hinting settings. It's present in ~/.fonts.conf, also Qt3 apps work fine.
I would like to use slight hinting everywhere, but KDE4 defaults to full hinting anyway
Google wasn't very helpful on this issue, and I found no mention of it in the KDE bugzilla.

OK. That did the trick!!
I enabled root log in and then I was able to customize the theme and get a whole lot of the other settings working.
Thank you!!
There are yet a number of other things that do not work but ... I got KDE to at least not look ugly.

KDE4 and NVidia 8300GS problems [Solved]

Symptons:
Screen Tearing
Desktop Effects not completely working
What changed:
Suddenly, seems all of the Desktop Effects started working proplerly.
What I did:
hwd -xa
nvidia-xconfig
Edited /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Changed Depth from 16 to 24
Added my "1680x1050" to Mode lines
http://pastebin.com/f620a77c7

Scale In

Flip Switch
Note: these are different from the defaults
My only guess is that turning off the Fade effect allowed other effects to start working properly. Weird thing is I didn't manually select Track Mouse or Zoom.
It might be possible that I clicked things in just the right order this time.
Items that work now that used not to:
Explosion
Fall Apart
Snow
Wobbly Windows
Flip Switch
NVidia drivers installed:

IMPORTANT Additional Note:
Noticed that running a diff on current xorg.conf against old backup copies shows that the change
From: Depth 16
To: Depth 24
is the more likely cause of things working now.
At some time long ago, evidently, I redid the xorg configuration and missed that one item.

I have an idea that I will be researching around for more information on.
In KDE, I remember that Opengl was used in a setting instead of NVIDIA's X Rendering (or was it direct rendering...).
With my minor knowledge of graphics cards and rendering, I came up with this:
Opengl's memory management was used in KDE, so it explains how my computer was able to handle both compositing and graphic intensive games. And that X Rendering is not good at(or has any ability) managing memory. So I must find a way for NVIDIA to only use Opengl.
Please correct me if I am making the wrong conclusion!
EDIT: Looking at the NVIDIA server settings again, it looks like it already uses Opengl.
Reading more from many forums, it looks like Xfce's compositing uses EXA for rendering confusing the situation just a little more.

HDMI Audio issue with Samsung Plasma

Hi all,
I have a mid 2010 Mac Mini that I bought for my HTPC. I am unable to get the HDMI audio to work after trying a number of connection possibilities. Here's the setup -
Mac Mini to Samsung via HDMI cable (1.3a) in either HDMI port - no audio
Mac Mini to Samsung via HDMI cable currently working for my uverse service - no audio
Mac Mini to Insignia LCD via HDMI cable in either HDMI port- no audio
I thought it was hardware, so I made a genius appointment and took it in. They gave me a new mini. Same exact issue.
When I switch to SAMSUNG in the sound properties, it tells me "The selected device has no output controls"
Video works fine.
What am I doing wrong? Did I just get two bad boards? This is really freaking annoying.

I have the same issue... perfect image on a Samsung TV UE32EH5300, but no sound. I tried changing the input name to HDMI/PC (and tried all others) with no success.
Altough I noticed one rare thing. I opened Mountain Lion AudioMidi Configuration and selected the HDMI output. Can't move the volume controls because these are supposed to be controlled on the TV. But when clicking at the Speaker configuration and making a test for L/R speakers... each TV speaker (connected by HDMI) reproduced statics.
THEN I'M CONFUSED!!!!... how can I hear sound produced by the computer but can't have the normal audio on HDMI???
Any help???

Text looks blurred on Samsung display

Hi,
So, I have just gotten a Samsung SyncMaster TA550 for Christmas. I have it connected to my MBP13 mid-2012 (2,5GHz i5, 8GB of RAM, Intel HD Graphics 4000) with a HDMI cable and a Dr. Bott HDMI & DVI to Mini Displayport adapter.
The display looks absolutely fabulous as long as watch videos, but text looks like crap, all blurry, and gives me headaches, not matter if it's text I'm currently writing (in pages or online) or the song list in iTunes for example. The problem is: I mainly wanted to use this display for writing. Also the bars in pretty much every programme I've used so far have this strange grey blur to them.
I'll attach screencaps of both text and video on the screen. You'll see the grey blur in the safari window.
I toyed around with resolutions and practically all the display settings in OS X and the display itself - nothing worked. It looks slightly better when I change to 720p instead of 1080p or 1080i using underscan to fill the display, but that's not what we want, right?
Currently it's set back to "Best for display" and a 60 hertz refresh rate.
I thought that maybe the adapter (which wasn't a particularly expensive one) might be the problem, so I have now ordered a HDMI to Mini Displayport cable that had good reviews online. It might take a few days for that one to arrive though, and I was hoping that maybe I could solve the problem without having to use that one.
I hope you'll be able to help me, cause honestly, this is getting annoying.
Thanks in advance,
Sabrina
Strangely the screencap looks good on my MBP's LCD...

I have been switching from PC to MAC for the last couple years. One of the last bones was my desktop computer which had a SAMSUNG 29'' HD monitor.
Last friday I bought a MAC MINI and connected it to the Samsung thru HDMI. I had almost a breakdown when I realized the blurry text from the OS X against the crisp and bright text from the Windows machine. I started to investigate without any luck until I came across this post. Thank you MissKillALot, you save my day! Finally now I have a monitor working like it should, and no more PCs at home!!!
P.S. No wonder people keep ditching Samsung equipment: For the HDMI - DVI PC port to work properly you have to "RENAME" the port from HDMI to DVI PC. Rename? Who thinks that by "renaming" some port it will actually change its properties? Is this on purpose to annoy the user?
