[00:00] <qwebirc50725> My setup has a ASUS Xonar DG card connected to my NVIDIA GeForce 9400 card for HDMI output.
[00:00] <qwebirc50725> Everything was working in both the myth frontend and in other apps (chromium). I was also able to play sample sound files using aplay. Now, nothing works.
[00:02] <qwebirc50725> Prior to the update, my /etc/asound.conf file had one line: "pcm.!default "plughw:0,1""
[00:03] <qwebirc50725> I tried removing that, rebooting, and testing again. No dice. I've also been through all of the devices listed by aplay -L, trying, for example: aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Noise.wav -vv -D plughw:0,1
[00:05] <Shadow__X> qwebirc50725: did you make sure its not muted in alsa mixer
[00:07] <qwebirc50725> Ahh, yes, Shadow, I did. Of course, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to un-mute (SPDIF?), but all are unmuted.
[00:08] <Shadow__X> you could plug something into the audio ports to see if its just going to the wrong port
[00:09] <qwebirc50725> Yes, I did not do that.
[00:11] <Shadow__X> also if you are using multiple audio things disable then to decrease complexity
[00:11] <qwebirc50725> Multiple audio things?
[00:12] <Shadow__X> audio cards, isnt the asus xonar dg an audio card
[00:13] <qwebirc50725> Oh, yes. I guess there would be a motherboard audio, too...
[00:13] <Shadow__X> you have to keep th at in mind
[00:13] <Shadow__X> when testing
[00:13] <qwebirc50725> Right, well, in alsamixer, I see only one card--the xonar dg.
[00:14] <Shadow__X> you can switch to different ones iirc
[00:15] <qwebirc50725> Right, F6, but it only listed the one.
[00:15] <qwebirc50725> So there is no audio coming out any port (I have speaker-test running).
[00:17] <qwebirc50725> Ahh, but if I use -Dsurround51:CARD=DG,DEV=0, I *can* hear audio on the analog ports of the Xonar card.
[00:17] <qwebirc50725> So the card seems to be working, at least partially.
[00:25] <qwebirc50725> But I still can't get sound to come via the hdmi ports, as it was before 2 this afternoon. Ugh.
[00:25] <qwebirc50725> This is why I hate linux updates and used to almost never apply them.
[15:39] <qwebirc50725> Hey! Does anyone know if there are any X11 conf files that relate to HDMI audio?
