Makes sense. I just broke my xrandr config that it doesnt work correctly it happens from time to time and it's really irritating to fix. What I just need is basically clone mode. But kde doesnt see screens that are offline and if I put amplifier on, it shutdowns my pc screen. Before I had an issue that I am on desktop, but most of the working applications are on the other desktop. This was easier to fix, mostly just opening and closing amplifier and it started to work correctly.

With HDMI the audio data is interleaved in the video vertical and horizontal sync periods. So if you don't have video you don't have any way to submit audio either. What the driver properly does is providing a dummy video signal so that audio can be transfered anyway. Most likely just a clone of the desktop picture. Please provide you're xrandr --verbose output.

I have this connection using r9 290 --> hdmi --> speakers And dvi --> pc screen. xrandr (that broke my config again) see this external amplifer as a display which is it not. Kde/mint/upstream should fix this so it would be more correct. Hdmi channel is just sending audio data to amplifier. And it feels like that ati is using more clock cycles to provide the picture and the audio than it should. Is there anyway to prevent this in future? _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
