I'll give this a try!Several users have reported problems with mini-HDMI adapters. It seems it's a lot better to use a dedicated mini to fullsize HDMI cable.
The issue is related to the ESD clamps on the CEC line. Many ARC devices use this channel to talk to the TV. The solution is to cut a trace on the pcb for earlier units. It is pretty dicey and requires skill with an xacto knife. By the way, the first Raspberry Pi rev has this same problem.Just noticed on a recent My Life In Gaming podcast that someone is having an issue with using the UltraHDMI with an HDMI switcher box. I believe the issue may be directly related to why the UltraHDMI causes issues with the Audio Return Channel of an AVR.
Yeah, I've had a few panels of bare pcbs made but haven't stuffed them yet. They will probably be reflashable with UltraSave.Hi Marshall:
Are you still working on and planning to release stand-alone firmware update 'carts'?
Cheers!
So the issue's only on earlier units? So the only two options are to replace the UltraHDMI with a newer one, or to have someone make a highly precise cut? Is there any way you can send a skilled modder (RetroFixes?) instructions on how to perform this repair? I would gladly pay someone to make this cut! Thank you for responding!! )The issue is related to the ESD clamps on the CEC line. Many ARC devices use this channel to talk to the TV. The solution is to cut a trace on the pcb for earlier units.
