Installation issues / Re: 1004 zotac MAG and ZBOX video playback problems

apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-`uname -r`
reboot
This will get them listed (aplay -l | grep -i 'hdmi')
You will likely have hw0 devices 3,7,8, and 9. It is almost always 3 or 7 on the id41, and seems to be completely random which. Others output on 9... others output on everything. Should look something like:Code: [Select]card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI]You can test with:
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI]
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 8: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI]
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI]Code: [Select]speaker-test -c 2 -l 1 -t sine -D hw:0,7etc based on the output of aplay where the 0 is the card and 7 is the device.
Now getting that to stick is another trick. In /usr/pluto/templates/asound.conf I would replace %MAIN_CARD% with 0,7 or whatever yours is.
pcm.asym_hdmi {
type asym
playback.pcm "hdmi_playback"
capture.pcm "plughw:%MAIN_CARD%"
}
You may also have to add
options snd-hda-intel model=auto or
options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 index=-2
to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
Please report back with your results.
Hi L3,
I decided to upgrade the core and start all from scratch. I downloaded the latest snapshot (yesterday) and video is no issue for neither MAG or ZBOX, It is the audio that is driving me crazy. On the MAG, I get audio with speaker test, and also within the multimedia kde controle module, but no sound at all when playing the videos, not even if the video is open directly at the kde desktop. With the ZBOX, I get no sound until I run the speaker test. Once I run the speakertest at the konsole, everything works perfect. Any hints?

). This guide will solve sound issues and video hopefully. On the next reply.
, I guess I fix it the hard way, since I had nothing to do last night until 1 am for the next feeding of my son (2 weeks old) I decided to make a drastic test, just like the zbox
I am facing some issues with the video playback. The problem is that (on both) there is no video playback, only sound, I only the the black square box where the video should be playing. If I go to KDE desktop, xine and mplayer works perfectly. I found that if I change the ui orbiter from v2 to v1 without alpha blend and open gl stuff I get the video output but if I mess it up by fw or rw it will go away until Quick Reload the router. Any hints???
, for me you are all talking in another language but I'm starting to learn little by little.
