HDMI crackling with NVIDIA GeForce 550ti HDMI

linux-howto

https://bbs.archlinux.org – I've searched around and have not been able to figure this out. I actually started working on HDMI audio on an older 200 series card previously. I was hoping it would work with a completely new card and build, but the problem still persists. Using aplay it sounds and plays fine:aplay -D plughw:1,7 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wavHowever using VLC and I get crackling. I had a 200 series card that did the same thing on a different computer and never solved it. In Windows audio works flawlessly, I say this to show it's not a hardware or cable problem. Anyone have any experience a (HowTos)

NVidia HDMI audio output 16 weeks 1 day ago

I'm trying to get HDMI audio output from a ION system but I'm running out of ideas.

After the install process (12.10 server, xorg, alsa, nvidia-current) I immediately un-muted channels in alsamixer and run

xbmc@htpc:~$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC662 rev1 Analog [ALC662 rev1 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 ca

Ok, so I think I have done my home work. I bought this card for price, because it is silent, and to add HDMI.

I have not had any video issues, just audio. I disabled the onboard audio. So my only audio device is the hdmi. I looked in /proc/asound/card0 to see eld#1.0 is the valid EDID. So I added options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 probe_mask=0x102 to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf.

I kind of solved it. I just changed so that ALSA uses hardware instead of pulse and it works now.But aplay and alsaplayer still don't work. I get this error in aplay:aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav aplay: main:696: audio open error: Device or resource busy

Hi,

I've just set up Ubuntu running on what I hope to be a media computer. Video over HDMI works fine but audio does not. I'm using the onboard HDMI port on a Asus F1A75-M motherboard.

Hi all,

I'm trying to build an Ubuntu XBMC machine and I'm having problems with HDMI audio. I've installed a spanking new version of 12.04 and done a full update. I've also installed the current recommended NVidia drivers which seem to work fine. However I don't get audio over HDMI. In fact I get a constant static style hiss from the speakers.

hmmm. so I plugged in a TV with an HDMI cable and got video! awesome! but oh no, there's no sound! This is from a laptop with an ATI Radeon card built in. Analog audio works and plays out from the laptop's speakers. But selecting the HDMI card doesn't play audio out the TV speakers. I know the hardware is good, because it works in Ubuntu, and so linux can do it.

Hello,

I've bought a tv a few days ago, tried to connect my laptop via hdmi cable to it - worked perfectly, I just had to choose right audio device output as hdmi and it worked with no issues.

So I've tried to connect my desktop computer to the tv using hdmi cable - video works with no issues, but there's no sound.

I have an GT520 graphics card and I am trying to get the sound working with my XBMC setup and I'm having trouble.

Things I have completed:

aplay -l

List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

then

lspci

01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation HDMI Audio stub (rev a1)

and

alsamixer

which is set to unmu

I'd like to use my Geforce 9800GT's HDMI audio as a separate sound device. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10.
