qwebirc94327I was wanting to know if its possible to have the display coming from one graphics card and the sound from another. I have been trying to get it to work but with no luck. Before I try further I thought I might ask if its even possible with mythbuntu20:23
qwebirc94327The display is DVI monitor (HDCP compatible) connected to ATI card and I wanted the integrated nvidia card to provide the sound via hdmi20:24
qwebirc94327Is it theoretically possible? Or am  wasting my time?20:24
rhpot1991qwebirc94327: most likely depends on your tv/receiver20:26
rhpot1991and if it can take sound from one and video from another20:26
qwebirc94327I have a seperate receiver I'm using for surround sound. And I have a monitor connected for the picture.20:32
qwebirc94327The monitor only has DVI input. So is connected to ATI discrete graphics card20:33
qwebirc94327(HD6450)20:33
qwebirc94327the chipset of motherboard has 9400m integrated graphics with nvidia hdmi output20:33
qwebirc94327Having messed around with it for half a day I get the feeling that it is something to do with X20:34
qwebirc94327and the xorg.conf20:34
rhpot1991qwebirc94327: should be able to do your x out of the dvi20:36
rhpot1991and then in mythtv you'll need to setup the audio device20:36
rhpot1991and figure out which one corresponds with your onboard hdmi20:36
rhpot1991and just run your wires accordingly20:36
rhpot1991with hdmi you want to make sure the device isn't muted in alsa-mixer too20:37
qwebirc94327I can get a picture fine from the dvi (amd HD6450) connection20:39
qwebirc94327I can also get sound from the optical cable20:39
qwebirc94327in the alsa mixer everything is unmuted and turned high20:39
qwebirc94327I think it is something to do with the fact that the x server is running the fglrx driver. So even if nvidia,hdmi (hw0,3) is chosen in mythtv no sound comes outd20:40
rhpot1991ya not sure how ati sound works20:41
qwebirc94327How to enable fglrx and nvidia in xorg.conf? I think this will be the answer20:42
qwebirc94327If it is at all possible!20:44
tgm4883qwebirc94327, I've heard of people doing it20:44
tgm4883I've not done it though20:44
rhpot1991in theory is feasable20:44
rhpot1991your mixing of ati and nvidia is prob gonna be rough20:44
qwebirc94327yeah not good plan eh?20:45
qwebirc94327Well if you think its still possible I'm gonna keep trying. I refuse to resort to windows!20:46
rhpot1991qwebirc94327: I'd question why you are using ati at all20:48
qwebirc94327Been reading loads online and I think even mixing nvidia and ati in windows is causing people headaches20:48
qwebirc94327Is there anyway to seperate the nvidia audio drivers?20:49
