Not too long ago I upgraded my home theater system with a blu-ray player. This no longer worked with the HDMI on my old receiver, so I upgraded that too. I upgraded the video card on my "stereo computer" to an Nvidia 220 with HDMI output. With this combination I am able to watch NASA HD in Dolby Digital. No analog connections. No ground loop noise! VLC player can pass the Dolby Digital or DTS signal to the receiver for full surround sound. Fedora 14 (updated) with the current Nvidia driver is reported to support HDMI audio output. By installing the XFCE mixer I am able to activate iec958 1 which outputs an audio bit stream over the HDMI connector. Unfortunately, selecting HDMI audio under Sound Preferences does not break the silence. The receiver does not have the option of taking video from the HDMI output with analog audio. No tape monitor. No external processor loop. This problem will become more widespread as HDMI output becomes the norm, not the exception. Is there a reasonably simple way to get Fedora to speak over the display adapter's HDMI output? -- Chuck Forsberg WA7KGX N2469R caf@xxxxxxxx www.omen.com Developer of Industrial ZMODEM(Tm) for Embedded Applications Omen Technology Inc "The High Reliability Software" 10255 NW Old Cornelius Pass Portland OR 97231 503-614-0430 -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
