Hi

I cant get speaker-test to play audio through HDMI

$ uname -a
Linux asrock 2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Tue Dec 16 15:12:04 EST
2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

$ aplay -l

$ speaker-test -D hw:0,3

speaker-test 1.0.18

Playback device is hw:0,3
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Channels count (1) not available for playbacks: Invalid argument
Setting of hwparams failed: Invalid argument

I think I've unmuted the HDMI
$ amixer
...

Maybe I'm missing a driver update for Nvidia ION ? but I dont really
want to go breaking things by downloading the wrong s/w.

$ yum list installed | grep -i nvidia
kmod-nvidia.i686                         177.82-1.fc10.7               installed
kmod-nvidia-2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686.i686  177.82-1.fc10.7               installed
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.i386                 177.82-1.fc10                 installed
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i386            177.82-1.fc10                 installed

"Nvidia audio not working over HDMI" seems to be quite a common theme
but I've yet to find any definitive solutions. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.

thanks
Robert
