hello, i tried to make hdmi audio work on my laptop but so far i failed. hdmi audio works fine on the same setup on windows, so it is not hw issue. maybe someone can help me to make it work on linux. my setup is acer aspire 8943g (gentoo linux, kernel 3.0.1, latest alsa drivers from git, also tried kernel-provided alsa drivers) with fujitsu p27t-6 display connected with hdmi cable. here is more info to the sound cards and alsa: # lspci -nn | grep Audio 00:1b.0 Audio device [0403]: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio [8086:3b56] (rev 06) 01:00.1 Audio device [0403]: ATI Technologies Inc Juniper HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5700 Series] [1002:aa58] # lspci -s 01:00.1 -v 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Juniper HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5700 Series] Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 038c Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 49 Memory at f8120000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 3 Capabilities: [58] Express Legacy Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [a0] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [100] Vendor Specific Information: ID=0001 Rev=1 Len=010 <?> Kernel driver in use: snd_hda_intel Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel # aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC670 Analog [ALC670 Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC670 Digital [ALC670 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 # aplay -L null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) default:CARD=Intel HDA Intel, ALC670 Analog Default Audio Device front:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC670 Analog Front speakers surround40:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC670 Analog 4.0 Surround output to Front and Rear speakers surround41:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC670 Analog 4.1 Surround output to Front, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround50:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC670 Analog 5.0 Surround output to Front, Center and Rear speakers surround51:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC670 Analog 5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers surround71:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC670 Analog 7.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Side, Rear and Woofer speakers iec958:CARD=Intel,DEV=0 HDA Intel, ALC670 Digital IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output hdmi:CARD=Generic,DEV=0 HD-Audio Generic, HDMI 0 HDMI Audio Output alsamixer displays for card1 switch S/PDIF which is unmuted. command "speaker-test -Dplughw:1,3 -c2" issues no error but no sound goes out of display speakers. at this link http://bbs.archbang.org/viewtopic.php?id=441 there is a similar card that works fine. i am complete noob to hdmi so there can be something obvious that i am missing. i would appreciate any help to make hdmi work for me. miroslav ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ FREE DOWNLOAD - uberSVN with Social Coding for Subversion.
