HDMI Audio problem 41 weeks 10 hours ago

I got the HDMI adapter, and it works really well. You do have to attach the power cord from your Note to get it to work, but on the plus side it does charge your note while watching HDMI output.

One problem though. Under "Settings/Accessory/HDMI Audio Output" you can select "Stereo" or "Surround".

I have two different sound devices for output: "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" for headphones "High Definition Audio Controller Digital Stereo (HDMI)" for speakers

For example: if I open a music player and start a song, it plays out fine from speakers. But when I try to control volume it controls "Internal Audio Analog Stereo" instead of HDMI.

I have enabled "simultaneous output" in PulseAudio Preferences, I run pasystray(pavucontrol for volume), and want to use both HDMI-output as well as internal output in different application at the same time, but sound configuration (both pavucontrol and phonon) only lets me activate 1 device at a time (by selecting card profiles).

I am working on setting up an HTPC running Ubuntu 12.10. I have been searching for hours for a solution to get 5.1 surround sound working through HDMI, to no avail. I do not know a lot about audio standards or how they are managed in Linux.

it used to be that when I plugged in my laptop to an hdmi cable that he hdmi sound output automatically showed up under the all settings, sounds, output tab. Unfortunately, it didn't automatically start sending sound through that but it wasn't a big deal to pull up the sound settings and click on that output so that sound would start coming out of the TV.

Hi,

Each time I use the HDMI output to connect my laptop and my TV everything works fine except the sound output. I have to go to sound preferences and change there the output to hdmi so that it works.

Hi everyone,

I have some HDMI output problems. My Acer laptop is connected to external Samsung monitor via HDMI, the monitor itself has a speakers output (3.5mm PL jack), I think this is commom setup for this things.

On my F18 I currently have an original alsa drivers installed, without Pulse Audio(I removed it when I tried to set up my LifeChat lx3000 headphones microfon to work with skyp

Sound - no HDMI output 25 weeks 3 days ago

Sound problem, no HDMI output Hi all,

Ubuntu 12.04 desktop 64bit ASUS mobo M5A97R2.0 audio Realtek ALC887

I have been struggling more than a week unable solving the sound problem via HDMI output.

On sound setting -> Output HDMI/DisplayPort disappears on "Play sound through"

I have another HD on this PC running Fedora 17 desktop 64bit. There is no problem on sound output via HDMI.

I just spent hours to configure the sound to work with HDMI. My last problem is, when I start playing sound the TV screen goes on and off, like when you change the resolution. When I stop playing sound, 3-5 seconds after, the same thing happen. I feel like everytime I play/stop the sound, the HDMI connection needs to be resetted.
