[ubuntu] 5.1 audio over HDMI

linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – Hello, running 12.10 amd64 on a ASUS M5A88-M Motherboard with a built in RS880 [Radeon HD 4250] graphics card. I've got a nice 5.1 surround sound AV receiver which only accepts HDMI, so I'm not interested in any other way to play audio other than HDMI. I've built a home theatre PC, so having the graphics on the MoBo cuts down on space, power and fan noise. I really can't fit a graphics card into the tiny, quite little box I've built. Stereo sound and display work great in ubuntu, but I cannot find anyway to get 5.1 audio playback of DVDs. Ubuntu sound settings only shows stereo configura (Hardware)

HDMI Audio problem 37 weeks 1 day 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'd like to use my Geforce 9800GT's HDMI audio as a separate sound device. I'm using Ubuntu 11.10.

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.

Audio over HDMI issues 24 weeks 3 days ago

Hello!

I hope someone here will be able to help! I'm having a problem with audio over HDMI with mythbuntu 12.04 64bit and only stereo sound works. I decided to build a new machine so I've only been working with this a few days and this is all new to me.

My Setup: * MSI z77ma-g45 mobo with: HDMI out, core i3 cpu with integrated HD4000 graphics, and realtek ALC892 sound on board.

Sound - no HDMI output 21 weeks 4 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.

When I drive the audio output on my ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 Graphics using the Sound Settings to my HDMI output for some strange reason it causes Flash video to speed up with no sound.

5.1 surround sound for 12.04 50 weeks 3 days ago

I am very new to Ubuntu and linux as I have used windows only until yesterday. I am attempting to send my audio signal to my pioneer reciever using a single digital optical cable which is plugged into my M2N Sli Deluxe motherboard. I am sending video with a Geforce 8600gt video card through HDMI. That card does not support audio through 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.

HDMI Audio in Gnome3 F17 37 weeks 6 days ago

Hi,

finally I've managed to get 'a display working' and in addition the displays looking exactly the way I want them!

Now another issue has arrived; my displays have built in speakers which work via audio 3.5mm stereo cable or HDMI digital input.

The HDMI digital input was working fine while I had Fedora 15 installed but now with the upgrade it is gone :(

The normal procedure I use (wo
