I brought the original test equipment back to the setup so I can see the video and pink bar again. The symptoms remain the same (unexpected size, pink bar, and no audio).
Can you tell me which test equipment are you using?
I am using an XRGB-Mini Framemeister as the sink device for testing which isn't "real" test equipment but does show details of the video and audio mode (which the monitor I have does not do).
The normal setup of this laptop has a small "audio splitter" as the sink, which among other things includes HDMI input and output ports and an S/PDIF audio output.
These devices can be connected together in various ways and the results seem to be consistent in any configuration.
It is very consistent: pink bar <=> no audio.
My suspicion is that the audio problem is just the wrong video mode on the sink side messing things up, but I have no way of confirming that (that I know of).
Hmmm, my first thought was that audio is being configured first because of the phy lock wait time, I've seen this happening before.
Lets try this:
- Disable all alsa clients (e.g. pulseaudio, ...) so that no one
tries to configure audio.
- Plug out/in the cable until the issue appears
- When the issue appears use aplay to play audio through the HDMI
output
- Repeat several times with different audio rates and with no
resample (you can use the plughw interface in aplay).
OK, I will give it a try later this evening.
