http://unix.stackexchange.com – When I try playing video using the command: omxplayer -o hdmi sound will not work unless I also include the -r switch. The only problem with this is when the video is done it leaves a black screen up and I am unable to use the device until restart. Anyone have any ideas? (HowTos)

Stories similar to OMXplayer and HDMI audio on the Raspberry Pi

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.

I got a new TV and I get no sound through HDMI from my arch htpc.However, I don't think the problem is the TV because:1) Audio from other hdmi sources works2) When i connect the htpc to a monitor through hdmi and restart, the audio works.

I have a laptop with an ati radeon 4200, on 12.04 everything worked fine, since upgrading to 12.10 I cannot get sound over the hdmi. When I switch to hdmi audio the video speeds up to about 2x. I can use the speakers in my laptop and watch video via hdmi with no problems.

Things I have tried: Various tutorials to install the amd/ati drivers, all of which resulted in low graphics mode...

Hi,

The MK802 / 808 mini pcs have HDMI output for both audio and video. I have a TV without HDMI. It has DVI and RCA. I can get video by using hdmi with a hdmi->dvi connector, but have no idea how to get audio. Is there a solution?

Thanks!

I just bought a asus z77 lx motherboard with an i5-3570k. Everything is running so fast and smooth, but the audio only detects and hdmi device.

When I'm playing a video or something that uses sound, the volume bar goes up, but nothing comes out of my speakers (attached through the rear audio port....that much should be obvious though since the only hardware this detects is the hdmi audio out.

Ive got a strange problem here. I have a video card running with hdmi and it's plugged into my tv. The sound works fine when I first boot up. But when I turn the tv off and back on, the hdmi sound no longer works and is not an option in the sound menu. It won't work unless I reboot. Any ideas on keeping it on regardless of whether or not the tv gets turned off?

[ubuntu] HDMI Loses Audio 50 weeks 1 hour ago

Hi. I've done some poking around and while I found some threads with HDMI audio issues, none seemed exactly like what I'm experiencing, so I wanted to ask for some help.

My system is a: MythTV Box running 12.04 / .25myth. It's connected to an HDMI receiver that then transmits both audio and video to a 47" 1080p tv.

Hi,

I am having some problems getting sound to work over the HDMI interface on my laptop. I have tried going to System/Preferences/Sound to try and change the settings to HDMI but there are no HDMI options to choose from. How do I find out if HDMI sound is supported by the nvidia drivers I am using? I had a look at this thread;

I've got a brand new build and an updated install of 12.04. I was having trouble with installing Radeon drivers from the 'Additional Drivers' application, so I followed the directions here: http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Precise_Installation_Guide to download and install the drivers and Catalyst directly from AMD. Video works fine now, but I'm having no luck with audio.
