| mvinsc | hey, i have a vid card / audio prob. can anyone help? | 16:21 |
|---|---|---|
| holstein | !audio | 16:21 |
| lubotu1 | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 16:21 |
| holstein | mvinsc: whats up? | 16:21 |
| holstein | i usually install and try pavucontrol | 16:21 |
| mvinsc | ok... i can't get the proprietary ati drivers to work | 16:22 |
| mvinsc | the open source driver won't play audio through HDMI | 16:23 |
| mvinsc | when i install fglrx unity crashes | 16:23 |
| holstein | i wouldnt expect audio to work through hdmi | 16:24 |
| mvinsc | i got it the work with xubuntu with the ATI driver | 16:24 |
| mvinsc | i just don't understand why fglrx worked in one but not the other | 16:25 |
| holstein | mvinsc: yeah? | 16:26 |
| holstein | mvinsc: 3d support.. | 16:26 |
| mvinsc | yeah... Radeon 5450 | 16:26 |
| mvinsc | HDMI doesn't show up in sound settings | 16:27 |
| holstein | i would check for and apply upgrades | 16:28 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 16:28 |
| holstein | i would use pavucontrol | 16:28 |
| holstein | from the terminal, running "aplay -l" will list all the system devices | 16:29 |
| holstein | if you dont see it in aplay -l, it wont be working | 16:29 |
| mvinsc | card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] | 16:30 |
| holstein | so, its possible to send audio to that device, in theory | 16:31 |
| holstein | what would i do? check for and apply upgrade | 16:31 |
| holstein | i would run pavucontol and alsamixer and trust none of the labels.. i would tweak *everything* | 16:31 |
| holstein | i would try live CD's and see if a newer/older alsa/kernel version supports the device out of the box | 16:31 |
| holstein | i would not let using unity effect my decision (personally).. i would just use XFCE | 16:32 |
| mvinsc | ok.. thanks i'll keep messing around with it... | 16:36 |
| mvinsc | the only reason i want to use unity is i love my wobbly windows | 16:36 |
