Need help to transfer 5.1 audio via hdmi

Hi, guys!
This is my first post, I would like to apologize for my bad english.
Today I received my new Mini DP to HDMI adapter and, after a little configuration, I was able to make it work properly with my mac.
But, after all my work, I noticed that the audio transfered was only stereo, not 5.1 as my home theater can handle.
So I searched some forums for a bit and noticed that I could try to change my configurations in "audio and midi configurations" (this is a portuguese translation, I'm not sure how is the program's name in english). Once there, I saw a lot of choices for audio via hdmi, like stereo, 5.1, 6.1 etc, but only the first was availabe, all mutichannels were disabled.
Is there any way to make these choices available?
Can this be a limitation of my Mini DP to HDMI adapter?
In the item description, it says that it does transfers "uncompressed audio such as LPCM" and
"compressed audio such as DTS Digital, Dolby Digital(including DTS-HD and Dolby True HD)".
Thanks in advance!
Cheers from Brazil

As far as I know there is no way to carry more than stereo over HDMI.
I know very little about this subject and have no experience with it myself, but I've been aware for some time of this adapter:
http://kanexlive.com/products/iAdapt51.html
I take the description to mean that 5.1-channel digital audio can be carried by HDMI, and if the mini-Displayport doesn't output an audio signal that rich, the Kanex adapter should be a useful alternative. I've posted the link in reply to many queries in the past, but I don't recall whether or not anyone has posted back to say they've tried the adapter and tell how well it worked for them.

    The other HD Audio device is likely to be the Realtek ALC880 8-channel High Definition onboard sound. This is a bit of a decision point. If you plan on always using the AMD High definition Audio as your default ouput through an HD TV with HDMI out, then you can disable the Realtek HD audio device. Once that is done then restart the PC. Go to the Control panel and select sound, now sellect the AMD HDMI out and right-click and select it as the default. There should now be a green checkmark next to it. Now you can select Configure to test it.
    Kind regards,

  • Need help with transfer routine.

    I am doing this enhancement in BW 3.5 version.
    There is an object in ODS - > ZPATHNM (Pathname)
    It gets data from ZPTDIR object.
    Now, 0MATERIAL infoobject has text data. For PATH type materials it has descriptions like pt/dat/fafg.2.0 , pt/dat/ovg.2c ... so on.
    The content after pt/dat/ for example fafq.2.0, ovg.2c is available in ODS object ZPATHNM (Pathname)
    Since I have to extract PATH material numbers. So I created another object ZPATHMAT and mapping it to ZPTDIR.
    I have to write a transfer routine when the 0MATERIAL text description had description beginning with pt/dat/ and the text after pt/dat/ is equal to data in ZPATHNM. i should get material number in ZPATHMAT.
    This is the transfer routine, I have written between ZPATHMAT  and ZPTDIR . This is working fine.
    Data : ZDIRNAM type String,
                ZCONT1 type string,
                ZCONT2 type string,
                ZMATERIAL(18) type C.
    ZDIRNAM = TRAN_STRUCTURE-ZPTDIR.
    IF ZDIRNAM is not Initial.
    Concatenate 'pt/dat/' ZDIRNAM into ZCONT1.
      Select single MATERIAL
        into ZMATERIAL from /BI0/TMATERIAL
    where TXTMD = ZCONT1.
    RESULT = ZMATERIAL.
      ENDIF.
    Now there is another requirement, where I have to create one more object, ZPATHDES. This object should get Material description for path type materials from 0PROD_HIER text table.
    This object, 0PROD_HIER is an attribute of 0MATERIAL.
    So the logic to get the material description into ZPATHDES, is when the material number in 0MATERIAL is equal to material number in  ZPATHMAT (generated from above routine), I should get description (TXTMD) from text table of 0PROD_HIER (/BI0/TPROD_HIER) into this ZPATHDES object.
    I able not to connect this logic in the code and it is throwing errors.
    I need help in coding.
    Thanks.

    Very hard to understand the logic in a thread. Can you please write your code, which is throwing errors? May be that will help us.

  • Need Help! No Video Just Audio With .AVI Files

    i got quicktime for my iPod, just only for that cause i think that quicktime really *****... i searched this whole site for an answer. i found something i thought would solve my problems with .avi files but my .avi files are mpeg-4 layered, and there's only a descent answer for indeo files? or something like that. i really need help cause i want to convert an ordinary .avi file to iPod extension... please please help!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There is no single codec for movies that have .avi extensions. AVI is a container format, not a specific type of file. An AVI movie may use one of the Indeo codecs or one of the various flavors of DivX, among other possibilities. You'll have to find out what codec was used for the movies you want to view to determine what you need. Note that not all codecs for the various .avi movies are available for QuickTime.
    If you want to try "hit and miss", you can try the codecs at http://www.divx.com/ and http://www.3ivx.com/ and see if one of them will work for you

  • Need help implimenting PLUS ldf in c++ via XMP sdk

    I'm apparently suffering major brainstem bitrot and generating lots of brain coredumps, and I need help.
    I'm using the XMP toolkit sdk 5.1.2 in c++ under gcc on Debian to impliment embedding PLUS ldf licensing metadata (reference: http://ns.useplus.org/LDF/ldf-XMPReference ) into images.
    I have no problems generating compliant plus ldf xmp in code for everything EXCEPT for single line detail entries like "<rdf:type rdf:resource="plus:LicenseeDetail"/>" in several places in the ldf specification, viz:
    <plus:Licensee>
       <rdf:Seq>
         <rdf:li>
              <rdf:type rdf:resource="plus:LicenseeDetail"/>
              <plus:LicenseeID>http://plus-id.org/AAA-987</plus:LicenseeID>
              <plus:LicenseeName>ABC Advertising Agency</plus:LicenseeName>
         </rdf:li>
       </rdf:Seq>
    </plus:Licensee>
    I can generate the appropriate text in memory then parse that to get an appropriate SXMPMeta and merge that, but I would really like to be able to properly generate the proper xmp in code, and would really appreciate any help preventing further brainrot!
    I'm certain it's both simple and trivial, but I now can't see the trees because of the forest ... Thanks

    Hi,
    I'm not a XMP expert but I've been working for some years with Semantic Web technologies. My understanding is that XMP is a subset of RDF (one of the main pieces of the Semantic Web) so I will try to make my contribution to this problem from there.
    Consequently, looking at your problematic piece of XMP:
    <plus:Licensee>
       <rdf:Seq>
         <rdf:li>
              <rdf:type rdf:resource="plus:LicenseeDetail"/>
              <plus:LicenseeID>http://plus-id.org/AAA-987</plus:LicenseeID>
              <plus:LicenseeName>ABC Advertising Agency</plus:LicenseeName>
         </rdf:li>
       </rdf:Seq>
    </plus:Licensee>
    I can say that it isn't valid RDF so it shouldn't be proper XMP. This can be confirmed looking at the example for the property plus:Licensee available from the specification (http://ns.useplus.org/LDF/ldf-XMPSpecification#Licensee):
    <plus:Licensee>
       <rdf:Seq>
          <rdf:li rdf:parseType="Resource">
             <rdf:type rdf:resource="plus:LicenseeDetail"/>
             <plus:LicenseeID>http://plus-id.org/AAA-987</plus:LicenseeID>
             <plus:LicenseeName>ABC Advertising Agency</plus:LicenseeName>
          </rdf:li>
       </rdf:Seq>
    </plus:Licensee>
    I have marked in bold where the problem is. Your piece of XML is missing the rdf:parseType="Resource" construct. I will explain why this is necessary from what I know from RDF. RDF is based on a graph model. There are resources, which correspond to graph nodes and represent the things the RDF metadata is talking about, and properties, which correspond to graph edges and represent the attributes and relations used to say things about the resources.
    In RDF the convention is to use lowercase names for properties. This doesn't seem to be the convention in XMP so we must take a closer look at the XMP piece in order to identify what parts correspond to resources and to properties. From the LDF specification we know that plus:Licensee correspond to a property so it should link to a resource, in this case rdf:Seq (more specifically it is an anonymous resource (no id provided) of type rdf:Seq). Your example should have some additional markup before plus:Licensee, surely the resource that represents the licensee about which we are specifying the licensee using the plus:Licensee property.
    Now, if we continue from the resource of type rdf:Seq, there is the rdf:li property (lower case as it is directly reused from the RDF specification). The problem now is that if we look directly inside rdf:li property we find rdf:type, plus:LicenseeID and plus:LicenseeName. It is clear that rdf:type (lowercase) is a property and from the LDF specification we can see that the other two also correspond to properties. Therefore, there is the problem. We have a property (rdf:li) pointing to three properties (rdf:type,...) so we are breaking the graph data model: nodes (resources) are connected through edges (properties) that link two nodes.
    This is not the case for the example in the LDF specification. The rdf:parseType="Resource" constructs is a shortcut for:
    <rdf:li>
       <rdf:Resource>
             <rdf:type rdf:resource="plus:LicenseeDetail"/>
             <plus:LicenseeID>http://plus-id.org/AAA-987</plus:LicenseeID>
             <plus:LicenseeName>ABC Advertising Agency</plus:LicenseeName>
       </rdf:Resource>
    </rdf:li>
    It basically says that the following properties should be parsed as being connected to an anonymous resource. In order to make it clearer, it is helpful to look at the graph behing that markup. For instance, you can use the RDF2SVG service and render the graph behind the example from the specification (which I have make available from a custom URL):
    http://rhizomik.net/redefer-services/render?rdf=http://rhizomik.net:8080/html/~roberto/tmp /ldf-simple-example.rdf&format=RDF/XML&mode=svg&rules=http://rhizomik.net:8080/html/redefe r/rdf2svg/showgraph.jrule
    I hope all this makes it clearer.

  • Outputting Lossy Dolby Digital & Lossy DTS 5.1 audio via HDMI - Dv7-4074 Win 7 64bit ATI HD 5650

    Hi Everybody
    I'm trying to output lossy DD & DTS 5.1 soundtracks via HDMI to my HDTV then to my AV receiver via optical. Two channel LPCM works fine. I checked for updated drivers for both the ATI HD 5650 AV Card and Win 7; says both are current versions. I'm using the HP MediaSmart program for blu-ray/dvd playback with Windows 7 64bit. Any help would be appreciated.
    Steve

    Thanks for the quick reply.
    I don't even have the HDMI-Passthrough option in Mediasmart--Audio. It won't give it to me.
    In Win-Control Panel-Hardware & Sound It says ATI-HDMI output limited to 2 Channel only no compressed formats available.
    Is there a driver/setting for Win 7 or ATI or Mediasmart to work through this issue. I know there is some small change i need
    to make for this computer to be setup.
    One would think that to configure this "entertainment" laptop wouldn't be so frustrating.....
    I've got no problem with my connection from the HDTV to my AV Receiver. I currently have X360-viaHDMI-HDTV-viaOptical-AVReciver. The HDTV has a optical output for bitstreaming lossy multichannel audio and 2 channel lpcm. I'm only looking
    for lossy multichannel sound; i know you need hdmi to the recevier for lossless multichannel lpcm/dts master etc.
    Mediasmart is  version is 4013727
    Any additional help will always be appreciated

  • 5.1 Audio via HDMI

    Does the Apple TV support 5.1 audio out via HDMI (either bitstream or PCM)? I have it connected to my Receiver via HDMI (which passes the video to the receivers HDMI out) and I have a few movies from the iTunes store that have 5.1 audio - but the sound is coming out as 2 channels only. Do I need to run the Optical out instead? Is the optical output the only way to get 5.1 audio?
    Cheers,
    Chris

    I think you might be having the same issue I had - essentially there's a handshaking issue between the Apple TV, and the surround sound receiver. The Apple TV will only send the digital signal to the receiver if the receiver and the TV are both switched on before the Apple TV. If you turn things on in the order of:
    TV
    Receiver
    Apple TV (Bring it out of standby)
    You should get digital sound! The XBox360 has exactly the same handshaking issue - the same workaround works for the 360 too.

  • No audio via HDMI (dv9700t CTO)

    HP Pavilion dv9700t CTO Entertainment Notebook PC / Windows Vista 64bit
    I have set the default audio device to the "Realtek Digital Output" device. I get no sound.
    I upgraded the audio drivers from the HP support site. Still no sound via HDMI. (microphone quality was reduced to the point of being worthless)
    I upgraded the drivers again with drivers from the Realtek website. Still no sound via HDMI. (I regained microphone functionality) 
     The reciever that I am trying to connect to indicates that there is no audio signal being sent to it from that source (my laptop). I have even tried connecting directly to the tv. That did not work either.
    Its almost as if there was no connection between the audio hardware and the HDMI port.

  • Need help on transfer of license

    Hi all,
    I am planning to purchase Creative Suite cs2 and Studio 8 from a vendor in USA via amazon.com. Well I am purchasing these pretty old applications because I am on a tight budgegt and I am getting a good bargain. I stay in India and need to transfer the licenses in the name of my company (individual license installed on a single machine). Need to know if  this is possible and what will be the process involved, because I do not want to end up buying the software and then find out that they cannot be legally transfered due to old version or any other issue.
    Regards,
    Alok K

    Error: Activation Server Unavailable | CS2 or older products, Acrobat 7
    Pretty much al lyou need to know. The rest is really irrelevant at this point - since there is no activation involved, no real transfer of license happens one way or the other.
