This topic is about the lack of Audio HDMI Out during LiveView.I have noticed in my short amount of research that there are multiple models that do not have Audio out during HDMI LiveView. It was mentioned in this thread about 600Ds & 700Ds

This is a topic that interests me because of pre-existing HDMI Capture Devices. At an upcoming event a buddy and I will be rigging an Streaming Broadcast by using a Panasonic AG-AC90's clean HDMI output
https://www.atomos.com/cameras/panasonic-ag-ac90 paired with a simple "Elgato Game Capture HD"
https://gaming.help.elgato.com/customer/en/portal/articles/1492979-elgato-game-capture-hd-manual-and-user-s-guide. Have been running work flow tests with my little Canon T5/1200d using ML "Clean Overlay" when I noticed this trend of Liveview HDMI out lacking audio.
Points of note for the engineering: Using my 1200d for reference.
- HDMI Audio Output is capable while in the movie playback.https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART151185
- Sound Recording Menu(SRD), is a pre-existing gui interface for guidance.
- Microphone needs to be activatable; using similar actions as Idle, halfshutter or button press.
- Activated microphone is based off of pre-established SRD preset.
- Audio Meters are already a Feature http://wiki.magiclantern.fm/userguide#audio_meters
- Relying on external HDMI capture eases strain on system.
- Don't understand why an additonal product (see atomos) is needed when the obstacle is a microphone activation command.
Or is this a risk of a Feature being to Close to Canon Code?
