No Audio HDMI ATI

[cnewton2k]

Having spent quite a while reading i now understand that i will not be able to bitstream HD audio to my reciver with my ATI gfdx card.

At present i get no audio at all.

Do i need to manually install some drivers?

I have a ATI 6450 can anyone give me any suggestions on what to do?

Cheers

You are going to have to set a custom audio device, IE plughw0,1-9.

1337 way to do it:

ssh into the box and run:

aplay -l

you should see an output like this:

Code:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC662 rev1 Analog [ALC662 rev1 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC662 rev1 Digital [ALC662 rev1 Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 8: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Then you need to play a file to see which device outputs audio for you:

download a test file (google for front_center.wav you will find it)

Put this somewhere on your HTPC and run the following test: (from ssh)

aplay -D plughw:0,3 /path/to/your/Front_Center.wav

Non 1337 way to do it:

Take a shot in the dark and set your audio devices to plughw0,1-9. Set them try to play something then move onto the next one.

If you run into a wall please post the output of aplay -l from ssh.

aplay -D plughw:0,3 /path/to/your/Front_Center.wav

[lrusak]

did you try plughw:0,3 ??

[cnewton2k]

i dont understand what that is?

Do i type that in when it comes to custom audio device?

plughw:0,3
