Quick update... I was running Pulseaudio Volume Control and noticed for the first time while in the [Playback] tab some activity when I click the left or right speaker test in the Speaker Testing for HDMI / Displayport. When clicking the Left or Right Test button " libcanberra " show as the playing device libcanberra: Front Left or libcanberra Front Right. Also there is audio showing in the pop up level indicator. Now of course, there is audio indicated, but nothing heard via HDMI on my receiver or directly to the TV when the receiver is bypassing when turned off.
This is probably due to al the items that were added when following the steps in the #52 comment -- 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: Unknown 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.
