Hi Anssi,
Hi,
Just wondering how Microsoft documentation fits into this discussion:
"Representing Formats for IEC 61937 Transmissions"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd316761%28v=vs.85%2...
"Microsoft-provided HD Audio class driver supports PCM, AC3, DTS, AAC, Dolby Digital Plus, WMA Pro, MAT(MLP) formats. The GUIDs for the compressed audio formats that are not supported by the HD audio class driver and can be implemented by third-party solutions are listed in the following table. "
CEA 861 Type SubFormat GUID Description 0x08
00000008-0cea-0010-8000-00aa00389b71
KSDATAFORMAT_SUBTYPE_IEC61937_ATRAC
Adaptive Transform Acoustic Coding (ATRAC) 0x09
00000009-0cea-0010-8000-00aa00389b71
KSDATAFORMAT_SUBTYPE_IEC61937_ONE_BIT_AUDIO
One-Bit Audio 0x0d
0000000d-0cea-0010-8000-00aa00389b71
KSDATAFORMAT_SUBTYPE_IEC61937_DST
Direct Stream Transport (DST)—lossless compressed DSD (Direct Stream Digital).
And knowing that IEC 61937 from HDMI 1.3 also supports above 6.144 Mbps...
Is there a doubt that above information is correct, and that DST/DST can be carried over 61937 in Microsoft HDA class driver, in this example, by "implementing a third-party solution" as described in this table?
I think the One-Bit Audio and DST formats are just misnamed here and can't be carried over IEC 61937 (ATRAC can be) - the IEC 61937 specification does not cover One-Bit Audio or DST.
I think the "third-party solution" refers to a driver implementing support for a non-HDA-spec HW feature which allows One-Bit audio / DST / raw packets to be transmitted (in a similar way "EPT" (Encoded Packet Type field in Pin Widget Control 7.3.3.13) allows setting HBR or ASP packet transmission).
Thanks, Andrej Falout

That setting will still not allow you to send One-bit audio or DST packets. The stream will still be encapsulated in either ASP or HBR packets, depending on the value of the EPT field (Encoded Packet Type, 7.3.3.13). > > On Thu, 2015-01-01 at 06:37 +0200, Anssi Hannula wrote: >> 01.01.2015, 04:07, Yang, Libin kirjoitti: >>> Hi, >>> >>>> -----Original Message----- >>>> From: Anssi Hannula [mailto:anssi.hannula@iki.fi <mailto:anssi.hannula@iki.fi>] >>>> Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2014 11:45 PM >>>> To: Xuebing Wang >>>> Cc: Yang, Libin; alsa-devel@alsa-project.org <mailto:alsa-devel@alsa-project.org>; Lin, Mengdong; ; Takashi Iwai; ; >>>> Wu Fengguang >>>> Subject: Re: [alsa-devel] DSD over HDMI: audio data packetization >>>> >>>> 31.12.2014, 17:38, Xuebing Wang kirjoitti: >>>>> Anssi, Libin, >>>>> >>>>> Thank you very much for your help. >>>>> >>>>> If L-PCM audio data packetization is done by hardware, is it possible >>>>> to implement DSD over HDMI on Intel integrated graphics?
