Clover General discussion

[tluck]

well. i tried this on my Dell but something is not right.

 

It can load BootChime in shell and sound works - sets/plays sound properly when i select Speaker.

 

but i get this with Clover  (on latest 4859)

so it tries use embedded sound with same message

 

Note: F7 gets no sound after bootchime works?

Question: 

is there a way to set display Menu ratio X:Y ?

my native screen is FHD 1920x1080 (16:9 = 1.778) 

but i have to boot with 1280x1024 (1.25) or 1024x768 (1.333)

so everything looks squashed.

 

I am using Clovy - so it may be adjustable? - I see scale multipliers but not sure for non-uniform x vs y.

Hi

 

I don't understand why Clover shows only 2 devices on my system: Nvidia, Intel Pointer... Where is Realtek ALC892! Is this normal. Thanks.

 

No idea... This is what it looks like in my case. And...believe it or not, option nr 3 seems to be Realtek ALC 892 according to DPCIManager.

Don't confuse the high definition audio controller chipset with the high definition audio codec chipset.

[SavageAUS]

 

me too. but 8000hz sound is not good. similar electronic sound. f7 test sound with bootcamp theme, same too(electronic).

in my case i can listen good quality with only 44100hz.

so, clovy theme sound is not good for me. because it has 8000hz

 

EDIT1.

when play clovy theme sound.wav in itunes, sound quality is not bad. it doesn't have electronic sound.

i think clover force to change frequency? 8000 hz to 44100hz? in this process, generate electronic sound?

i don't know exactly. i didn't see it in detail.

I too am experiencing the same electronic sound. But sounds fine in iTunes / preview.

I haven't had much success with this boot audio so far but with 4859 it's now playing back the built-in sound fine. However I want it to play back a custom chime.

 

I'm using the embedded theme and put the sound.wav into the theme folder but it defaults to the built-in one. Is it not possible to replace the chime for the embedded theme or is this a bug?

Did you name your custom sound....sound.wav and replace the built in one?

Ok. With bootchimecfg.efi, I"ve got sound on green rear Line out. But with commits 4859: no more sound with first Line output select in audio output parameters .

You are right, this is a bug will be corrected.

 

There is the same issue with Audio Tuning: Clover don't save changing HDALayoutId after restart on my system.

Despite the explanation of Apianti, I do not understand why there is no ALC892 in the devices.

The issue should be debugged. First I want to see your boot.log.

 

@All

Sound 8000Hz has a bad quality but I include it into release because of space.

If you want a better quality place sound.wav 44100 into your theme folder.

Embedded theme is an exclusion. It has no own folder to download files and so embedded sound can't be replaced. Use other theme or build own clover with own sound.c sources. Beware the size!

Clover uses square pixels in any case of vector themes. Screen will be any ratio and background will be scaled in the same ration in X and Y then cropped.

can we play boot sound with 8000hz like itunes?
i remember when clover first include audiopkg source, sound is no problem. isn't it right?

I think iTune also converted sounds because sound card has own abilities

Playback:

     Stream cap: 0x00000001
                 PCM
        PCM cap: 0x000e0560

Do you try PlayAsync to false parameters in config.plist.

Yes,, 

 

[Slice]

Test please the follow change in StartupSound.c, line 193

  - Status = AudioIo->SetupPlayback(AudioIo, OutputIndex, OutputVolume,
  + Status = AudioIo->SetupPlayback(AudioIo, AudioList[OutputIndex].Index, OutputVolume,

I am not at home now...

Ok. I do that and report.

 

EDIT: Works fine. Thanks

You can try this 4859 version with modified StartupSound.c by  @Slice  for testing

I edited those lines (Line 193), then rebuild ./makepkg.

I can confirm,. it works.

Sound testing in GUI CLOVER works too

AudioDxe is working fine with r4860, thanks @Slice

Still, I'm just bit confuse; do we need to always clear NVRAM first for any "Startup sound output" option changes via GUI?

Ok, thank you. And I just realized that "F7" for Startup audio test; is working either. I believe it sounds like a guitar.

[tluck]

FYI: with r4861 now the sound chime works on my Dell 4800. cool.

[SavageAUS]

Does not work on my X299 clone.....and I tried all of these options......using Clover 4861
 
Now, I added nothing else, no BootChime stuff, just selected the options and rebooted, each one.  Do I need to do something special?  Do I have to use a specific Theme? (because I just used my standard Buttons theme).  My computer uses a Vega 64 and normally plays it's output on my HDMI, but for this test, I connected a speaker to my green port on the rear of my computer (which, in my computer is seen as internal speakers).  I tested to make sure I got sound, and then went through the rebooting I described earlier.   Three of the HDMI/AMD outputs locked up the computer entirely (only a power off or reset would restore control). 
 
I did use the SVG option, didn't make any difference.....
 

You need to have the sound file (named sound.wav) in the theme folder that you are you using to hear the sound. The wav file also must be converted properly or you can copy and paste the one supplied in the Clovy folder to your current theme folder.
