I'm trying to get HDMI audio on a Geforce GTS 450 to work on Centos 5.5. I have the latest NVidia binary drivers and ALSA 1.0.23. Uner Windows 7, it just works as the default sound device after installing NVidia drivers, so I know the card can do it. With ALSA I don't get any devices at all: aplay -l shows no devices but -L shows something: aplay -L front:CARD=NVidia HDA NVidia Front speakers surround40:CARD=NVidia HDA NVidia 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=NVidia HDA NVidia 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=NVidia HDA NVidia 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=NVidia HDA NVidia 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=NVidia HDA NVidia 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers hdmi:CARD=NVidia HDA NVidia HDMI Audio Output I have also an Audigy PCI card (emu10k1), the above output is with that card disabled (only snd-hda-indel module loaded, no snd-emu10k1). With both cards enabled, I get devices for emu10k1 (and it works). Here is what I have is /proc: /proc/asound/cards 0 [Audigy2 ]: Audigy2 - SB Audigy 2 ZS [SB0350] SB Audigy 2 ZS [SB0350] (rev.4, serial:0x20021102) at 0xb400, irq 66 1 [NVidia ]: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia HDA NVidia at 0xe3ffc000 irq 177 /proc/asound/devices 0: [ 0] : control 1: : sequencer 4: [ 0- 0]: hardware dependent 6: [ 0- 2]: hardware dependent 8: [ 0- 0]: raw midi 9: [ 0- 1]: raw midi 10: [ 0- 2]: raw midi 11: [ 0- 3]: raw midi 16: [ 0- 0]: digital audio playback 18: [ 0- 2]: digital audio playback 19: [ 0- 3]: digital audio playback 20: [ 0- 4]: digital audio playback 24: [ 0- 0]: digital audio capture 25: [ 0- 1]: digital audio capture 26: [ 0- 2]: digital audio capture 28: [ 0- 4]: digital audio capture 32: [ 1] : control 33: : timer 36: [ 1- 0]: hardware dependent 37: [ 1- 1]: hardware dependent 38: [ 1- 2]: hardware dependent 39: [ 1- 3]: hardware dependent So there are some devices for card 1, but they don't show up in aplay -l and I can't play anything onto them. snd_hda_intel is loaded, I don't have any special options for it. In DMESG I get this: hda_intel: Disable MSI for Nvidia chipset but no error messages (or any other messages about hda_intel). snd-hda-codec-nvhdmi is not loaded automatically. I can modprobe it, it loads with no errors or messages, but nothing changes. Can this card work under ALSA? -- Fedor G Pikus (fpikus@xxxxxxxxx) http://www.pikus.net http://wild-light.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn how Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC) One Node allows customers to consolidate database storage, standardize their database environment, and, should the need arise, upgrade to a full multi-node Oracle RAC database without downtime or disruption http://p.sf.net/sfu/oracle-sfdevnl _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
