Enable HDMI audio output

[wackpanther]

Hi everyone
Has anybody tried to set up Salix for HDMI use?
I'm working on it, but struggling.
Video worked right out of the box.
But audio won't cooperate, it continues to default to my laptop speakers.
ALSA only gives me two options:

Default
PCH (HDA-Intel)

aplay -l can find my sound card:

card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC233 Analog [ALC233 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Clearly HDMI audio can be set using card 0, device 3.
But it doesn't work...?
The ALSA archwiki suggests this command to test:

aplay -d plughw:0,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

This plays the .wav file, but it goes to the laptops speakers every time.
I can put in 0,0 for the analog sound card, or 0,3 for the HDMI card and it makes no difference.

Does anyone have any clues?
Thanks!

I studied this post
http://forum.salixos.org/viewtopic.php? ... dio#p32694
but the command

clementine -ao alsa:device=hw=0.3

gives me

error loading alsa:device=hw=0.3

hmmm

Try with a different player, such as mplayer (from the repositories).

[wackpanther]

Ok I'll try that.
I've noticed tho that there's no hdmi audio with my web browser or any other app either

Menu -> System -> ALSA Sound Card

and select the card you want to use.

Thanks for replying.

Neither one provides HDMI audio.
aplay-l makes it look like both analog and HDMI audio are coming off of the same card, as different devices (terminal output in my first post)
Is there a driver file or configuration that must be changed?

Can you provide the output of

Code: Select all

sudo lspci

aplay -d plughw:0,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

Is this exactly what you typed? Because it's wrong. The -D switch should be capital.

[wackpanther]

Whoa you're on to something!
I did enter the command with lower case -d, which played the file through laptop speakers.
Entering the same with capital -D works! Output through HDMI.
Now how do I use that?
