[01:06] <user___> hello everyone!
[07:34] <xubuntu72i> hello
[15:23] <BackTheNerd> woohoo, this is fun.:)
[21:15] <xubuntu77w> Hello, I was hoping to ask a question about xubuntu and no audio over hdmi. Am I in the right place?
[21:17] <well_laid_lawn> xubuntu77w:  yep
[21:17] <well_laid_lawn> !sound
[21:19] <xubuntu77w> 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] <well_laid_lawn> xubuntu77w:  what video card do you have? the hdmi sound goes through the vid card
[21:27] <xubuntu77w> I have an AMD/ATI Radeon HD 4200
[21:28] <xubuntu77w> 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] <xubuntu77w> to get that information
[21:29] <xubuntu77w> configuration: driver=radeon latency=0
[21:29] <xubuntu77w> it is a pretty fresh install as well.
[21:29] <gnrp> xubuntu77w: When you do `aplay -l`, what comes out?
[21:30] <xubuntu77w> **** 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] <gnrp> hm, so it does not even find the hardware
[21:31] <xubuntu77w> 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] <gnrp> yep, it is video drivers very likely
[21:32] <gnrp> there is this information that you need a kernel parameter at boot
[21:32] <gnrp> https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#HDMI_audio
[21:32] <well_laid_lawn> with the hdmi cable connected in a terminal run   sudo adduser YourUser audio
[21:32] <gnrp> I don't know how recent it is, though
[21:34] <xubuntu77w> Adding user `animal' to group `audio' ... Adding user animal to group audio Done.
[21:35] <well_laid_lawn> log out of eerything and log back in
[21:36] <xubuntu77w> that will cause me to drop from here, so I will be back shortly
[21:37] <well_laid_lawn> luck
[21:38] <xubuntu66w> Hello, I was just here, and had audio over HDMI issues. I did a full reboot.
[21:40] <xubuntu66w> not sure what I was trying to accomplish by logging out and back in, but when I ran the command
[21:40] <xubuntu66w> 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] <xubuntu66w> so, it does not seem to have helped.
[21:42] <well_laid_lawn> I don't use hdmi, the best options from the net are to install the right vid driver or set the group
[21:44] <xubuntu66w> 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] <xubuntu66w> 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] <xubuntu66w> so, basically I don't know how to update the video drivers.
[21:51] <well_laid_lawn> !amd
[21:52] <well_laid_lawn> !ati
[21:53] <xubuntu66w> so. :) basically ati is a pain?
[21:54] <well_laid_lawn> can be...
[21:54] <xubuntu66w> that page you sent looks very promising, I am going to try it now.
[21:55] <xubuntu66w> sorry, I did not find it earlier. I swear I looked.
[22:02] <xubuntu66w> 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] <xubuntu66w> Thanks again!
