[FIXED] PlayBook HDMI (or USB) support

[luckyone]

I also see "/dev/snd/pcmPrefferedp" whether or not HDMI is connected.

In addition, when HDMI is connected:
1. The sound is coming from the PB speakers
2. Adjustment of the Gain (volume) has no effect on the volume of the music

Luckyone! Thank you very much for these details.

Neutron very 1.64.2 plays audio and video through HDMI on Playbook!

Settings shows DRV is /development/snd/pcmC1D1p

Well done.

Yes, HDMI Audio has been fixed with 1.64.2. Thank you Dmitrty. I am glad I bought the App.

Are you planning to port this App to BB10? It's a great player.

Hi Guys!

Indeed, these are good news to hear, at last HDMI issue is solved. This device '/dev/snd/pcmC1D1p' was hiding from the audio devices list of Neutron audio engine and thus could not be connected when needed.

Neutron audio engine supports true multi-channel output and thus if you have some 4.1, 5.1 audio source then it will be playing back as needed.

> Are you planning to port this App to BB10?

Yes, BlackBerry 10 is supported initially. Actually BlackBerry 10 is built on top of PlayBook OS and is fully compatible with apps developed for PlayBook OS. I am the owner of Dev Alpha 10 with BlackBerry 10 on it, so Neutron is already ready for the official release of BlackBerry 10 device.

Works well and sounds great with PlayBook version 1.67

I have ver. 1.71.1 and DRV is "/dev/snd/pcmPreferredp"
When I plug in the HDMI cable NP turns off.
Please help

What if you connect HDMI and start Neutron, will it work ok?

[alblock]

When I plug in HDMI and then try to start NP it won't start. Just jumps up and shuts down.
Thanks Dmitry

Sorry for the delayed reply (vacation). Ok, I will try to check what can be the problem.
