I just tried something different here with my system. I turned off the Onkyo receiver which routed the HDMI directly to my TV. I tried all sorts of settings within ALSA and Pulseaudio to hear the sound on my TV. Nothing passes through from the media players except this " speaker-test -d -c 2 -t wav -Dhw:0,3 " With this I get the audio pass through of Left and Right audio from t wav but as usual mapped wrong as Right / Left. In addition, the speaker test within the Sound panel does not pass the audio either from HDMI. So this above test may point to the issue.
I am now pretty sure it is not my hardware MCP67 audio chip-set here either. Why I state this, I tried a completely new computer with HDMI output and still the same issues. My neighbor was gracious enough to let me experiment with his laptop. The test subject was a new HP ENVY Laptop, Intel 2.4GHz i7 core, 8GB ram, 1TB drive, Intel HD graphics and HDMI out. We set the laptop up as a dual boot with Ubuntu 13.10 64Bit with all the latest updates. This is a major issue which I now know it is not an issue with my system but with Ubuntu 13.10; ALSA, Pulseaudio,the Kernel or all three. Now is this ALSA, Pulseaudio or a Kernel bug? Apparently Takashi Iwai does not think it is a kernel issue. I am going to C/P this to the Kernel Bug report. -- 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/alsa-driver/+bug/1249705/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
