Stories similar to [ubuntu] HDMI - no video

Hi. I've banged my head against this one for a few days and I'm about to give up. Any help greatly appreciated.

Fedora 17. Nvidia geforce 210 which has VGA, DVI and HDMI outputs in a Dell Optiplex 755. Using latest nvidia driver (310.19). The VGA port works fine. I can connect the DVI port to a TV and nvidia-settings will show that the TV is detected.

I hope someone can help! I bought a brand new computer (Intel® Pentium(R) CPU G2120 @ 3.10GHz × 2 with Intel® Ivybridge Desktop graphics), running Ubuntu 12.10. The graphics card has both VGA and HDMI output. My problem is that I cannot connect to my Dell monitor with only the HDMI cable. The HDMI cable goes through 'n DVI adapter into the Dell monitor.

I have a three month old Serval Professional from System76 I wanted to connect my laptop to my televisions LCD monitor.

I'm currently running on Ubuntu 11.10 when I connected my HDMI cable to the HDMI port and logged into Ubuntu the desktop appeared to show various red lines and would not go away.

HDMI not working since update 49 weeks 3 days ago

I am new to using Ubuntu and I have no idea why this happens;

Before used the HDMI output to a Sharp TV. Worked perfectly with Ubuntu 11.10, upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 (Linux 3.2.0-25-generic) and stopped working, the display connected via HDMI it says "incompatible signal, check the device configuration," which never appeared in 11.10. I use a Dell Inspiron 1525 Laptop.

I've been using my Zenbook's HDMI port for watching movies on my TV a bit. Everything worked fine, until I wanted to turn off my screen whenever the HDMI cable was plugged in.

I did this in the settings under Screens menu.

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.

I have a Sony 40" HDMI TV and I connected my Bonobo laptop to it via the HDMI port but I could find the signal. Do I have to do something to enable the HDMI video? After searching within this forum and google I could only find how to enable the AUDIO and NOT the video.

Any help/direction would be appreciated.

Regards.

Audio over HDMI? 18 weeks 1 day ago

Hi everyone, not sure where else to turn.I have a monitor that has built in speakers and a webcam (an asus, if wondering).I've tried everything to get audio working over HDMI (it is detected by alsa, but not pulse audio), and I can't raise the audio volume from alsamixer, and it is NOT muted. It is detected in paman as an INPUT device, not output device.
