Installation issues / Re: No HDMI sound with NVIDIA GeForce 8200
« on: September 23, 2012, 01:16:50 am »
I modified the /usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh and rebooted twice. Next I went into avwizard and tried to get HDMI sound but no luck. I noticed that the backport didn't install so I added the following line "deb security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu lucid-security main" to /etc/apt/sources.list and rebooted. Still the backport didn't install, so I ran the install command from terminal to successful get the backport installed. Next, I copied /usr/pluto/templates/asound.conf to /usr/pluto/templates/asound.conf.backup and copied /usr/pluto/templates/asound.conf.backports to /usr/pluto/templates/asound.conf. Finally, I rebooted the machine. The backports still exist but no HDMI sound, no change in aplay -l output, and /etc/asound.conf has the backports template settings.
I noticed that my alsa version is 1.0.22? Is this to be expected with the above backport changes?
By the way, in /usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh the line in checkALSAbackportsNeeds function should be modified to get the correct results for the backport. A grep was left out of the statement.
alsa_backports=$(dpkg-query -l | grep "linux-backports-modules-alsa*" | grep "^ii" | awk '{print $2}') 2>/dev/null
Also, the file /usr/pluto/bin/RestartALSA.sh does not exist but is listed in the function.

During the AV Wizard setup, I selected HDMI sound but didn't hear anything through my receiver speakers. However, I do hear sound from my computer speakers. With my graphics card, can I get HDMI sound to work with LinuxMCE? If not, do you recommend a graphics card for my system (U.S based)? If I can get sound, what steps should I try?
