configuration for hdmi audio

[mimosa]

See http://forum.salixos.org/viewtopic.php? ... a67#p32693

A user on the Italian forum has the same problem as me: the built-in speakers in an HDMI monitor don't get sound sent to them. After a lot of searching I found you can do it on an ad-hoc basis as described in the thread above, that is, do

Code: Select all

cat /proc/asound/pcm

to work out where to look for the speakers, and then e.g.:

Code: Select all

mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=0.3 movie.avi

where 0 and 3 come from this bit of the output of the above:

Code: Select all

00-03: HDMI 0 : HDMI 0 : playback 1

As Marco found out, vlc copes with this as elegantly as it copes with pretty much everything. But what about a configuration that would allow the HDMI speakers to be selected in alsamixer? I searched some more and drew a blank ...

Does anybody have any ideas?
