Geforce 210 HDMI no Sound [Solved - kinda]

[mpmills]

Like I said there is a Big RED X. I think that either the sound card is not supported or has a bad driver, and Im guessing Nvidia doesnt support audio from HDMI on the linux side.

Sound/Audio
Integrated High Definition audio

Realtek ALC 883 chipset
Supports up to 8 audio channels
Dolby Pro Logic II compatible

Still unresolved. This i grinding at me. I did upgrade to Sabayon 7.

Just like to say, i had this on my Asrock 330 ION card, however iv'e seen it before on Ubuntu, to solve it you need to go to a command prompt, and type

alsamixer

then press F6 choose the Nvidia card

then move the arrow to the left and press m to unmute anything which is muted. (note on my box, the unmuting of the last two options muted line in and mic but this worked anyway)

then load up the Sound Settings from the gnome 3 volume menu, and choose hardware..

then select the HDMI hardware.. bingo!!

If you have onboard sound that uses same module it is more work to get hdmi audio to work. I have 240gt playing audio thru pulseaudio. First thing I had to do is figure out which is one of the 4 devices is the right one

Code: Select all

 $ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 8: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


Now that I had card and device numbers I tested them to figure out which is the correct one

Code: Select all

aplay -D plughw:0,7 /usr/share/sounds/email.wav

once I figure out which is the correct device was edited /etc/pulse/default.pa and made a ~/.asoundrc file.

default.pa

Code: Select all

### Load audio drivers statically
### (it's probably better to not load these drivers manually, but instead
### use module-udev-detect -- see below -- for doing this automatically)
load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,7
#load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0
#load-module module-null-sink
#load-module module-pipe-sink

,asoundrc

Code: Select all

pcm.!default {
   type plug
   slave {
       pcm "hw:0,7"
       rate 48000
   }
}
