How do you select the profile in pulseaudio, if not by right clicking the speaker icon in the top panel, like was explained in preceding messages? > due to the way hdmi works you do not get volume > control on your computer. it passes a constant signal which the end device > uses to control volume. likely the device is muted by default. The sound control on the TV is the same whether the input is TV or HDMI(3, here). Would you believe I didn't mute the sound on the TV to complain there is no sound? >> > So, one needs to ensure the output is configured correctly. >> >> The only relevant configuration I see for sound is under the hardware >> tab. Anything analog gives an output on the computer, anything digital >> gives no output. In both cases, there is no output on the TV. No comment about this? If this is the way to do the configuration, then you shouldn't suggest I should configure pulseaudio. If it's not you should correct. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
