Now that i know the sound is working over the HDMI cable, I does one take all the mixer output and redirect it to the right "channel", in my case, plughw:0,3. The must some kind of way to redirect all the sound through that mixer, or line, or whatever you call it. Anyone could help me here ?Here was the info that helped me get the sound over HDMI. > [root <at> localhost usr]# cat /etc/modprobe.conf > alias eth0 r8169install scsi_hostadapter /sbin/modprobe ata_piix; /sbin/modprobe ahci; /bin/trueinstall usb-interface /sbin/modprobe uhci_hcd; /sbin/modprobe ehci_hcd; /bin/true > alias eth1 r8169alias ieee1394-controller ohci1394# Sound Cardalias snd-0 snd-hda-intel# ALSA portionalias char-major-116 snd# OSS/Free portionalias char-major-14 soundcorealias sound-slot-0 snd-0 > > # card #1alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-ossalias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-ossalias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-ossalias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-ossalias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss[root <at> localhost usr]# cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec > > > > Codec: Chrontel Chrontel HDMI > > Codec: Realtek ALC888[root <at> localhost asound]# cat pcm > 00-02: ALC883 Analog : ALC883 Analog : capture 1 > > > 00-01: ALC883 Digital : ALC883 Digital : playback 1 : capture 1 > 00-00: ALC883 Analog : ALC883 Analog : playback 1 : capture 1 > 00-03: ATI HDMI : ATI HDMI : playback 1 > Finnaly, I read the following bug report on alsa and the late post directed me to the right commands to test the sound output : https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=3654It made me discover "speaker-test". By using > "speaker-test -D plughw:0,3" I got static noise in my speaker. > From there, I tried the mplayer command : " > mplayer -ao alsa:device=plughw=0.3 somefile.avi" and got the sound. Dirk, On mandriva 2008, the sound was working just fine with the included release of Alsa, however, I might suggest you try the following modified version of the drivers by realtek : http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=14&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=falseBy the way, they seem to have a new version dated from May 15, 2008 ! To make them work, I didnt used the auto-install they give but untarred the "alsa-driver-hg2008****" archive and compiled those driver and followed the steps in the README for the modprobe tweak. I would suggest trying that.Hope it helps, i'll try to check the mailing list more often. Philippe-A. Lemelin.On Sat, May 17, 2008 at 2:14 PM, Dirk Tamme <dirk.tamme <at> gmx.de> wrote: >
How/where did you get the "Chrontel HDMI Codec" from? I have the same chipset (but in on an nvidia based board), I can see the hdmi port in aplay, but can't get sound to output via it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
