14.04 No sound over HDMI

[jvandam87]

I know this has been a recurring topic, but I tried searching the forum and didn't find anything that could help my situation.

I recently installed 14.04, and have been playing around with it. So far most of it has been working great, but I'm running into a couple issues, one of them being I can't get sound over HDMI. I'm sure it's just a matter of getting the right configuration, but I could use some help with that.

I am using an nVidia EVGA GeForce GT730 graphics card. When I went through the AVWizard, it seemed to go smoothly. The sound was working perfectly at that time, over HDMI. However, when I'm in the LMCE GUI, and I try to play media, I get nothing. My next step was to go into a terminal and run 'alsamixer.' In there, I noticed that the motherboard is listed as the default audio player (not sure if that matters or not, but I don't know how to change it). Also, and this is probably more relevant, when I view my graphics card, there are 4 audio settings (S/PDIF, S/PDIF 1, S/PDIF 2, and S/PDIF 3). All of them are set to 00, and I can't change it.

Anybody have any ideas?

Thank you

We need to ouput of:

aplay -l
aplay -L

and the contents of:

/etc/pluto/xine.conf
/etc/asound.conf

And then we may be able to figure it out.

That's interesting.  All of the configs look correct.  You can try a couple of things, run alsamixer and see if anything on card 1 is muted, use speaker-test to see if your nvidia card is using one of the other device outputs: 3,8 or 9.  7 is the most common, and the default.  We do have detection code to determine if you are connected to a different output device but if that doesn't find anything it will default to 7.

When I go into alsamixer, and I go to card 1, nothing is muted, but all of the volume levels are set to 00, and I can't change them. On card 0, I can change all of the volume levels, and toggle mute on and off. On card 1, the only thing I can do is toggle mute.

I'm not sure what the speaker-test command is telling me. It just keeps repeating this over and over:

Time per period = 2.987842
0 - Front Left

[phenigma]

ok, alsamixer is good.  speaker-test needs to be used to test the different outputs, when you find the right one you should hear sound from the speakers.

J.

[jvandam87]

This is what I ran:

speaker-test -D plughhw:1,3

and repeated for 1,7 1,8 and 1,9 and I got no sound out of any of them. I even double checked to make sure my receiver wasn't on mute and I cranked it up just in case it was a very faint sound, but still nothing.

I also ran it for 1,1 1,2 1,4 etc. but that just confirmed that there is no device for those

And finally I ran 0,0 to see if I got anything out of my motherboard, and I did hear what appeared to be very faint white noise.

Am I running the correct commands? Maybe there is something else I need to try?

[phenigma]

Looks like the correct commands, the sound you will hear is a whitenoise.  If you cannot get sound from the card you may need to look into any quirks with that model and alsa drivers.

Hey all,

Rather than make a new topic, I thought I should revisit this one, because I have found myself in a related situation that I could use some help with.

First off, an update from before. I never could get the original GT730 graphics card to provide any sound, so I went out and bought an Nvidia GT210 card, popped it in, and it worked without a hitch. I had a solid system running for many months, but that computer was really old and never could quite manage to play HD video without severe lagging, so I decided to build a new system and do a fresh start.

Here's my new core (It's not high-end, but it should be more than enough to get the job done):

MoBo: Asus Prime B250 Plus
CPU: Intel Core i5-6500
SSD: WD Blue 250GB SSD
16 GB DDR4
and I upgraded slightly to a Nvidia EVGA GeForce GT710 graphics card
I also pulled the old HDD out of my old computer and installed it into the new one with the intention of using it for MythTV storage

So initially, I booted off from my old HDD which still had LMCE 14.04 on it, and I was using the GT210 graphics card, and it worked flawlessly.

Then I installed LMCE 14.04 on the new SSD and booted from that, while still using the GT210 graphics card. During the AV setup, the video setup fine, but I couldn't get any audio over HDMI. I tried drivers 352, 340, and 304. The video only worked on 304, but no audio.

I then tried the new GT710 graphics card. Again, I tried drivers 352, 340, and 304. After the AV setup, the 304 kept hanging on the reboot, but 340 and 352 worked fine for video, but still no audio over HDMI in either case.

I then took the graphics card out completely, and tried the motherboard's onboard graphics. Again, no issues with setting up the video, but still no audio over HDMI.

Additionally, when I'm booting from the SSD, it doesn't matter which graphics card I'm using, but no media will actually play, whether it be from DVD or from stored audio or video files. It recognizes them, and I can select the files to play, but within a couple seconds, it just returns to the homescreen without playing anything.

Alsamixer shows nothing is muted in any case. Can't get any sound over speaker-test using 1,3 and 1,7. It would appear that the issue seems to be stemming from the SSD and not the video cards.

I went back to booted off the old HDD and using the GT210 card and it still works without a hitch.

Any ideas? Any thoughts on what I should try next?

Thanks

I'm not sure if this is normal, but I tried to get the outputs of /etc/pluto/xine.conf and /etc/asound.conf. Typing that in directly, it tells me "permission denied."  However, it does give me the contents through pastebin:

I just did a re-install of only Kubuntu 14.04, and did all of the updates. Even on Kubuntu, no media will play. No audio, no video, nothing. I tried opening a browser and going to youtube. At least there, the video would play, but still no audio.

Any thoughts on why this is happening? Everything works fine on the old HDD, but trying to boot Kubuntu from the new SSD seems to be causing problems with media. Any suggestions?

[Marie.O]

Plugging the old HDD in makes the sound work again?

[jvandam87]

Right. But it's more than just the sound. On the old HDD, everything works fine. Trying to boot from the SSD, I can't get any media to play.

I know the quick and easy solution is to simply boot from the old HDD, but I'd really like to try to get the SSD working first.

Thanks

[Marie.O]

What happens when you clone the HDD to SSD? ie no new install, but just clone the existing install.

[jvandam87]

Well, I'm really not sure what I did now. I used Clonezilla to clone the old HDD to the SSD. It seemed like it worked fine, but the SSD goes straight to grub rescue, and now the old HDD hangs during boot, never getting past the load screen.
