I am wondering Raymond if it would be advantageous to bring in someone from the ASLA and PulseAudio group; if there is such a group, to get involved at some point in this issue? I am not complaining, you have been a excelent help so far. I would imagine that you have other issues that you are working on and I feel that I may be holding you up from helping with other user's issues.
It looks to me that this is a ongoing issue for many years between the two packages and Ubuntu being stuck in the middle of this. I have been seeing a growing amount of posts in reference to this HDMI issue, especially with the release of 13.10. I did a Google search earlier on using this search method and the issue is trending quiet a bit. Ubuntu 13.10: HDMI issues I will be happy to keep trying your different suggestions here. I do have quite a bit of time here to work on this and feel that solving this issue once and for all will help other users. I am a former Broadcast Engineer of 30 years and now disabled due to a worsening back injury that I sustained when I was younger. I will give you a heads up though, I am mainly a hardware person and not coder or script developer. So please escuse me if I may not grasp something that you suggest right away. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249705 Title: HDMI output not available in 13.10 Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hello, My issue here is with the HDMI output, it is non existent. I have had no issues with earlier versions of Ubuntu from 10.x, 12.04 LTS and 13.04. Even the original distro which was originally on this HTPC, Susse. I have researched all avenues for a remedy to my issue including #ALSA, #Pulseaudio and #Ubuntu IRCs. Some have mention it is possibly a kernel issue. I do have audio via S/PDIF which is stereo only. I did not upgrade the existing version; which most would, I have done a clean install of Ubuntu 13.10. Everything is working fine except for my audio issues. HDMI output is not showing in either ALSA or Pavucontrol. On the previous versions of Ubuntu I had many options of Digital 5.1 surround ouputs including HDMI. All that is available now for surround sound is analog options. In the Sound configuration panel I only have Digital Output (S/PDIF)Built-in Audio and Analog Output Built-in Audio which are only Stereo, HDMI is now missing in 13.10 I have tried so many apparent fixes in various forums which included editing confg files, uninstalling and reinstalling Alsa-base and Pulseaudio. I am surprised that I have any sound out of the S/PDIF Coax or Optical now. Thank you for taking the time to look this over. I am not 100% sure this is a bug , but by all the research, suggestions on the IRCs and not having this issue on previous versions, I am leaning towards it being a bug. If you need any further information please let me know and I will respond asap.
