With the new 1.0.23 release my hdmi audio has started working but requires quirks that I was hoping could be fixed Alsa info output: http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=ddc2fa39034c4a5c14a9d7c6b82cad9e16e82001 Here is what I figured out. Off a clean boot of the system the following devices, hdmi:1 plughw:1,3 plughw:1,7 plughw:1,8 don't work until I use "plughw:1,9" for even a second. After I use it the rest start working. A problem with this is that Pulse Audio does not allow me to choose and just uses hdmi:1 so I have to use 1,9 then my sounds start working. Also when using mplayer I get full 5.1 surround sound using AC3/DTS passthrough and 2 channel for everything else. Which is normal for the current driver. I have my mplayer config setup to use plughw:1,9 but would like this fixed so that in later releases everything just works which will be easier for others. Plus I don't know what the following errors mean so it would be nice to get rid of them by using hdmi:1 One last note mplayer here is some mplayer output from a 5.1 channel ac3 using plughw notice the strange errors that show up. *note even though it says 2 channel I get the full 5.1 to my receiver and it is fine. mplayer video.mkv -ao alsa:device=plughw=1.9 -afm hwac3 ========================================================================== Trying to force audio codec driver family hwac3...
