Nice to meet you here David and thank you for your interest in this issue. speaker-test -D plughw:NVidia,3 -c 2 -t wav This test is working through the HDMI ( unplugged optical S/PDIF to make sure) Left and Right is reversed but that is the least of my worries.
speaker-test -D hdmi:NVidia -c 2 -t wav Yields this error: speaker-test 1.0.27.1 Playback device is hdmi:NVidia Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels WAV file(s) ALSA lib pcm.c:2239:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM hdmi:NVidia Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory I replaced all eight instances of hdmi:%f with hdmi:%f,3 . Pulseaudio has not been starting at boot since the alsa update I did, which apparently did not update after going through the motions. I will have to manually stat with -D for now until I get that fixed. And the plot thickens... As I mentioned above that Pulseaudio does not start at boot, after reinstalling libasound2-data, I now have this in my terminal. ~$ pulseaudio -D E: [pulseaudio] main.c: Daemon startup failed. I will attach the hdmi.conf and the HDA-Intel.conf is now empty after I did the reinstall. quite odd. ** Attachment added: "hdmi.conf" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1249705/+attachment/3908263/+files/hdmi.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249705 Title: HDMI output not available in 13.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1249705/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
