[01:06] hello everyone! === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [07:34] hello === brainwash_ is now known as brainwash [15:23] woohoo, this is fun.:) [21:15] Hello, I was hoping to ask a question about xubuntu and no audio over hdmi. Am I in the right place? [21:17] xubuntu77w: yep [21:17] !sound [21:17] 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. [21:19] When I have done that, I don't see the HDMI as a possible output. Seems to only want to output to internal speaker. [21:25] xubuntu77w: what video card do you have? the hdmi sound goes through the vid card [21:27] I have an AMD/ATI Radeon HD 4200 [21:28] I am still a bit new to linux, so just to be sure I did it the right way, I used sudo lshw -c video [21:28] to get that information [21:29] configuration: driver=radeon latency=0 [21:29] it is a pretty fresh install as well. [21:29] xubuntu77w: When you do `aplay -l`, what comes out? [21:30] **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC662 rev1 Analog [ALC662 rev1 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [21:30] hm, so it does not even find the hardware [21:31] I read somewhere that it might be the video driver. I did try to install the new ati drivers, but that failed saying I did not have the proper tools, that is when i finally threw my hands up and asked here. [21:32] yep, it is video drivers very likely [21:32] there is this information that you need a kernel parameter at boot [21:32] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#HDMI_audio [21:32] with the hdmi cable connected in a terminal run sudo adduser YourUser audio [21:32] I don't know how recent it is, though [21:34] Adding user `animal' to group `audio' ... Adding user animal to group audio Done. [21:35] log out of eerything and log back in [21:36] that will cause me to drop from here, so I will be back shortly [21:37] luck [21:38] Hello, I was just here, and had audio over HDMI issues. I did a full reboot. [21:40] not sure what I was trying to accomplish by logging out and back in, but when I ran the command [21:40] aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC662 rev1 Analog [ALC662 rev1 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 [21:40] so, it does not seem to have helped. [21:42] I don't use hdmi, the best options from the net are to install the right vid driver or set the group [21:44] I went to https://www.amd.com/en/support/graphics/amd-radeon-hd/ati-radeon-hd-4000-series/ati-radeon-hd-4200 and got amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-legacy-linux-x86.x86_64.run [21:45] when I run it using Chmod and ./ It seems to start, but then fails saying I don't have the proper tools, but does not tell me what those tools are. [21:45] so, basically I don't know how to update the video drivers. [21:51] !amd [21:51] Open driver for AMD cards: amdgpu (cards >= GCN1.2 aka GCN 3rd gen), radeon (older cards). Closed drivers: amdgpu-pro (>= GCN1.2) fglrx (older cards, unsupported by AMD in 16.04+). For info on GCN levels, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units . For fglrx info, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/AMD [21:52] !ati [21:53] so. :) basically ati is a pain? [21:54] can be... [21:54] that page you sent looks very promising, I am going to try it now. [21:55] sorry, I did not find it earlier. I swear I looked. [22:02] I am dropping from the chat, thank you for all your help. I will continue working on this tonight, I got to the additional drivers part, which did not work, so I am going to have to try to install manually. [22:02] Thanks again!
