Silicon Mini and HDMI sample rates

Brian,

It cannot be that HDMI protocol should support only 48KHz. That does not make much sense, especially because we have now a lot of different (and better) formats than this one. Nearly all of AVRs support nowadays 24-192 and many support also DSD, etc. So it is a huge limitation imposed now by Apple without clear reason, because the older Macs could do more.

The world is full of stuff that doesn't make sense but is still true.

This is one of those. By the Way I did feedback to Apple today through the community forum and the feature request forms.

Brian,

Great that you posted this issue to Apple - that is probably the only way how we can make at least a little pressure on them to change something ....

Just tried the 11.3 beta.
No go, all of the sample rates other than 48k have no PCM output formats.
I even separated the amp (alone on HDMI) from the monitor (usb-c out) and it didn't help (and the Mac didn't like that very much at all, it still thought the AMP was a monitor_

LilyAarseth:
Perhaps the only hope is when/if support for dGPUs will be added through TB3 and thus requiring non-apple drivers/chipsets. But that solution is quite expensive and not worth it even if it ends up being an option. Apple really screwed up here, still hoping it gets resolved sometime.
