Guys I got no sound going to my relitively new HD Flatscreen tv.

hi,

did you check in sound settings that the correct output is set to hdmi?

PatH57, yes, there is no such thing there. The only thing that IS there is the first one that I see in your pic. the one that is highlighted, why would this be? Seems as though they should both be there as this is a common task?

let's take a look

Code: Select all

inxi -Fxz

[pcpunk]

Here ya go, thanks for the help!
I noticed one other thing also, when I was playing with the picture functions in the player window I accidentally pushed something that gave me FULL screen! but don't know what I did and could not replicate it lol. It was not the "Full Screen Button" either lol. that only gives about 80% screen ya know, like Non HD stuff.

ok no hdmi detected, that's the intel driver

post back

Code: Select all

aplay -l

and

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install pavucontrol

it may just give it the kick to come out of hiding

PatH57, Before I do this, do they work together...because I did the Pavucontrol before and it did nothing by itself. So what is this doing, installing a driver for this? and then installing the pavucontrol to make use of it? Just trying to follow the intentions.

[PatH57]

Hi,

aplay will just list the hardware.
pavucontrol is just a better software then alsa and detects more cards.

We are not touching drivers for the moment.

On the sound preferences screen, have you tried changing the profile setting?

I only get one entry on the hardware tab but in the list of available profiles there are a number of HDMI options. So I can select one for HDMI output. Unfortunately only HDMI or Analogue Sterio can be selected at one time. I haven't yet found a method of using both simultaneously or automatic switching.

Russell.

@pcpunk

Open this file:

/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf

And add this line to the bottom: (if it's not there)

options snd-hda-intel model=generic

save and reboot.

I also use the applet here to switch quickly
