You appear to also have a seperate dedicated audio processor for HDMI out. To find out which subdevice routes audio correctly out your HDMI port, with MPlayer try something like: mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=1.3 where 1 is the card number, and 3 is the subdevice number as indicated by your above aplay -l output. You will want to ensure you have Xorg up and running/your machine connected to your TV in order to test this properly. > > I would not want sound ONLY from HDMI--I want it always to come out BOTH > sound processors--the one on the mobo for local use on my desk, and the > other for the TV when I have it switched to HDMI1.
