Po-Hsu Lin, the requirement for radeon.audio=1 on all AMD cards has been so since: Author: Alex Deucher <alexdeuc...@gmail.com> 2011-06-06 16:39:16 Committer: Dave Airlie <airl...@redhat.com> 2011-06-08 05:14:41 Parent: 62fff811d73095bd95579d72f558f03c78f7914a (drm/radeon/kms: fix for radeon on systems >4GB without hardware iommu) Child: 18367c0ec73671fbfea35f13ae52d39437c53eb5 (Merge branch 'drm-radeon-urgent' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/airlied/drm-2.6) Branches: master, remotes/origin/master Follows: v3.0-rc2 Precedes: v3.0-rc3
drm/radeon/kms: disable hdmi audio by default The current RE'd code causes blank screens and display problems on a lot of systems. So disable it by default for now. It can still be enabled by setting the audio parameter to 1. E.g.: radeon.audio=1 Fixes: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38010 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27731 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35970 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26195 and many other reported problems. Signed-off-by: Alex Deucher <alexdeuc...@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie <airl...@redhat.com> I'm not aware of an initiative to quirk on a per hardware basis enabling hdmi audio by default. It seems this was preventative as too many collateral damage reports were being filed with it enabled. The WORKAROUND is now explicitly documented in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver . Given this, what would you like the end game for this report to be? ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #38010 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38010 ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #27731 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27731 ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #35970 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35970 ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #26195 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26195 ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1186879 Title: AMD Radeon HD 6250/6480G, No HDMI audio output with radeon driver by default Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: CID: 201203-10697 Asus X55U (12.04.2) By default the radeon driver has no HDMI audio output.
