I did try that but after installing drivers and rebooting the graphical environment would not come up so i'd just have a black screen. I also couldn't swtich to the other terminals (Alt+Ctrl+F1, etc.). So the proprietary drivers did not work for me.

Identical output diagnostics. I have a different model of the hp slimline. s5360f. I had a fresh install of karmic koala. My workaround was to install the proprietary ATI/AMD FGLRX Video drive. My best guess why this worked is that the hdmi audio is integrated into this video card. Goto System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers. It was the only driver on the list for me. This is only a workaround, I would prefer not to have to use proprietary drivers. -- No sound from Radeon HD 4650 - HDMI Output https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/501203 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This bug has been automatically assigned to the alsa-driver package based on instruction provided in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems for creating a bug but not sure if it is an alsa-driver issue. This is a fresh install of 9.10 on an HP Slimline s3100e PC with a HD Radeon 4650 card. I can get video out of HDMI with no problem but I can not get audio out of HDMI. aplay -L returns the following: ---------------------- hdmi:CARD=HDMI HDA ATI HDMI, ATI HDMI HDMI Audio Output null Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture) pulse Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server ---------------------------------- However, I noticed in other peoples posting that first line of the the aplay -L output normally has a DEV=0 at the end. My output does not. Don't know if this is a problem. aplay -l (lower case L) shows the following: ------------------------------- **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 -------------------------------- Also, alsamixer screen displays the following: ------------------------------------------- Card: HDA ATI HDMI │ │ Chip: ATI R6xx HDMI │ │ View: [Playback] Capture All │ │ Item: IEC958 │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ ┌──┐ │ │ │OO│ │ │ └──┘ │ │ │ │ < IEC958 > │ ------------------------------------------------------ As you can see it is unmuted however, i can not increase the volume here. It stays at 00. Some other posting I have seen is creating a file called /etc/asound.conf and added the following lines: pcm.!default hdmi:HDMI pcm.iec958 hdmi:HDMI Tried it (even rebooted) and it didn't work. And yet another solution was to created a file called /etc/modprobe.d/hda_intel.conf and add the following line: options snd-hda-intel model=auto probe_mask=1 This also did not work (even after reboot). I'm seriously at a loss here and do not know what else to do. I'm fairly new to linux (disclaimer). I have not downloaded any of the proprietary drivers for this card. I would prefer to stay away from that but if it's the only option then I would give it a go.
