Hello, I have posted on the alsa-user mailling list two days ago with no response, so I thought I would see if the Debian community can help me out.
I have been trying for the last week to get sound through my HDMI port with no success. I have a Gigabyte GA-MA69GM-S2H motherboard http://www.giga-byte.com/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ProductID=2579 with a Realtek ALC889A audio CODEC. I am running Debian Lenny on a 2.6.18 kernel. Originally I was using the ALSA drivers included with the kernel and the Debian packaged ALSA libraries and utilities. With that configuration I was able to use the analogue output. The S/PDIF connector was listed by aplay, but not the HDMI audio. I downloaded the ALSA drivers from the Realtek website http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3 and configured and installed the drivers while still using the Debian libraries and utilities. I am now able to see the HDMI device listed: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC882 Analog [ALC882 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 1: ALC882 Digital [ALC882 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 0: ATI HDMI [ATI HDMI] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 I have tried to test the sound [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/share/sounds/alsa$ aplay -D plughw:1,0 test.wav Playing WAVE 'test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 22050 Hz, Stereo but there is no sound from the TV speakers. The driver being used is snd-hda-intel and it is being loaded by udev. I would appreciate any help that can be provided. Thanks. -- Take care, eh.
