5.1 audio over HDMI?

So far I've only been able to get 2.1 audio over HDMI using a variety of apps playing mkv files with AC3 or DTS. Has anyone been able to output 5.1 audio? I'm trying to figure out whether the problem is a tablet limitation, the apps I'm using, or my admittedly ancient receiver.
Apps tried:
BS Player Free
Dice
MX Player

Surely someone out there has taken note of whether 5.1 audio is being output from the TF700. In fact, I'm hoping it's my receiver's fault that I'm not getting it. Gives me another reason to upgrade. :silly:

I was not aware the 700 could do that???

I'll see if I can find a cable for it and hook it up to the ol' 3311ci tonight.

How can you tell which one it is using? I'll test when I get hone with my setup

On my receiver I have a display that shows what speakers are in use, as well as whether it's using PCM, Dolby Digital, or DTS. YMMV

Bump to see if anyone has tested this yet.

I have not yet. Did you enable libffmpeg for Dice player?

It's not a tablet limitation

Hi !
I've seen a test review on the net that was stating that they used an mkv with AC3 and it was working ... check your decoder, I know it is working

Thanks for that. I should finally have time to test with libffmpeg on Dice tonight.

Still not working even with the Dice plugin. My receiver is over 10 years old and is getting audio from an optical split on a Monoprice HDMI switch, and does support Dolby Digital and DTS, but will only play 2 channel PCM from the tablet.
Can anyone else try to confirm first hand that 5.1 works? I'd really like to know if it's the tab or my ancient receiver.

Yes it does
It even outputs 7.1 with Spotify premium on my Onkyo TX-NR808.
I've not tried for movies but I guess it should not be an issue.

I haven't gotten this to work either. I use Handbrake to convert my video. Did anyone get this to work?

Camera Recording Audio Out of Sync and Flickering

Hey,
Today I was really tired and needed some sleep in class, so I recorded my maths class if I needed it later while I slept. I recorded it in 1080p so it would be easier to read the stuff on the board. But when reviewing it I noticed the longer into the video I watched the more out of sync the audio became, until eventually it looked like she was miming. Also there was some flickering sort of thing going on, I don't know if this is normal since I'm no expert on cameras.

How long are ur videos?
Sent from my HTC EVO 3D X515m using xda premium

I have some of the same issue, mainly the video flickering. I've used VLC and the stock player but both without any success. I watch a lot of stuff in 1080p with both video players without any problem so it doesn't seem to be an issue with the player. I have also noticed that regardless of the lenght I have the same problem and that if I transfer the video to a different system the video plays fine (even through a web brouser). So I tried to disable all the syncs and autoupdates and increased the preformnce to the maximum but without any improvements. When I first got the tablet everything worked flawlessly. Is it an update issue?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Do all TF700s have bluetooth lag or not?

Both my original and exchanged units from Amazon have Bluetooth audio that lags behind video by at least a second. This phenomenon is not experienced on my Galaxy Tab 10.1 or my Galaxy Nexus. Turning off wifi does not help. I sincerely hope this can be fixed.

What content are you using to check for the lag?

Try any MKV with BS player. It lags the most for me.

Try a HW accelerated video player like Dice Player. Or try to connect by HDMI to your media output device.

I have the same issue with my Nexus 7 and others do too. Playing videos with YouTube seem fine, but playing my own videos with MX Player, and I just tried Dice player too, have audio lag with bluetooth. Those videos also work fine on my Galaxy Nexus over bluetooth.
Seems like either something with Tegra 3 or ASUS.

For me Bluetooth lag exists for all types of video including YouTube.

I just tested on my C6O device and I have no bluetooth lag on netflix, I think this is a QA issue.
Edit: Tried with some avi and mkv files and I do hear a half second lag. The effect is most pronounced on BS Player, Dice Player is a little better. I hope this is just a software issue :/

same for me :-/

I've always had bluetooth lag, even on my my TF101... I just assumed thats just the way it worked....

The reason I asked about the content is that I get zero lag watching Netflix, but horrible lag watching YouTube. But I have found YouTube to lag sometimes even when watching my desktop PC with wired speakers.

I get no noticeable BT lag on anything, I didn't on my Prime either. I'm a night owl and have multiple sets of BT headphones and that I use with various devices and in my experience some headphones are MUCH more lag prone than others. There are TWO components where lag can be increased the sender and the receiver (any system that involves transmission of signals will necessarily have lag (even reality has lag, think thunder and lightning) the question is, is it noticeable). Everyone seems to blame the transmitter but the decode and reconstruction of the signal at the receiver can cause lag too. Get a known good set of phones as a first step if at all possible when trying to determine if the sender is laggy.

Same here I use my BT headset to listen to movies or streaming shows from Netflix, Hulu, Hbogo. Works great with no lag or buffering. Even when I'm in my bedroom and router is in my living room

I am using LG HBS-700 earphones. Using these same earphones I do not experience audio lag with my Galaxy Tab 10.1 or my Galaxy Nexus.

I've heard so much good things about that headset! I actually have that saved on my cart ready to purchase! There is a white color too but $20 bucks more expensive. Glad to hear that it works great on our Infinity's.

Yes! Getting mine delivered tomorrow! Now I have two! That way I wont ever be without a BT.

one thing i noticed with my bluetooth headphones, is that when playing Temple Run, the game wont tilt.

I hate to exchange mine over this. My second infinity has a much better screen. But the lag is unacceptable. What might be causing this variation among tablets?

workaround
I too have the bluetooth headphone problem. I have been able to rectify this by using XBMC to watch my videos with as i can offset the audio. I find by offsetting the audio ahead around .6 seconds does the trick.

HDMI out, no sound

I don't know if this is an Android specific issue that simply needs a setting changed that I'm not seeing or if this is an issue with my new TF700T. In any case, I'm not getting sound via HDMI out. I didn't have this issue with my TF201 or my first TF700T. Any ideas?

If I can find my HDMI cable I'll let you know, as I haven't tried it yet... if it's a "setting" issue that you discover, please post what you did to correct it

Yesterday I hooked up mine with HDMI to our TV --- unless it is just me, I might have found a quirk
at first I had no sound, and wasn't able to get sound by turning up the sound on the tablet....... I was running BS Player testing a movie -- I often have my sound turned down/off ..... and I found I had to turn my sound up BEFORE launching BS Player ...... then I got sound no problem.
don't know if that is your problem or not....... but that's my experience

I've had no problems with sound on hdmi. I have read about cable problems. If your problem comes back you might try a different cable. Run a youtube test to see if its a program quirk.
I just doubled checked to make sure. YouTube sound just fine.

Yeah, I tried several programs, including youtube, to no avail. One thing I didn't think of at the time was that it may be a TV handshaking issue. The only time I ever use my tablet (and my previous ones too) for HDMI out was in hotel rooms. So of course we're talking about a different TV every time. This was the first time I tried with this tablet. I will try again soon with another TV.

I've tested on two different tvs. My Samsung adjusted to screen size when in the right mode. Acer tv masked part of picture and i was unable to change. This masking, i believe, is caused by infinity's screen resolution, sound on both. Lets hope jb includes hdmi screen adjustment settings.

I think what you're referring to is overscan. There should be a setting on the TV for that.

Thanks,
What i called an Acer is actually a cheap Philips with no overscan settings.

connect ps3 to infinity

Is it possible to connect ps3 to our infinity? (Trough HDMI?)

Hell no!! I wish but its impossible because the infinity doesnt support HDMI IN, just OUT

Is it possible to transfer movies from the Infinity to the PS3 and vice versa?

Only if the infinity were formatted as a fat32 drive, and you had the same file structure that the ps3 does. basically not worth the hassle. you could get a micro sd/usb converter and just transfer stuff that way. Of course this is assuming the infinity recognizes fat 32 file structure.

You can stream movies from the infinity to your ps3.

BubbleUPnP, connect to the PS3 DLNA, click video, play with your favorite player. Easy as pie. It's a safe bet that Android can play back anything a PS3 is willing to serve up.
