The symptom is the same:- i) turn computer on ii) select "system settings" iii) select "sound" iv) observe that I am presented with only 2 choices for sound "output" ---onboard analogue, or onboard digital; NO HDMI This same symptom occurs with every attempted upgrade from 12.04 Precise Pangolin, whether I upgrade online or from CD ; or erase the entire installation and re-install the later versions fresh from CD (which I often do when out of frustration I have been tempted to load proprietary ATI drivers .......resulting in little pop-ups with AMD kindly informing me that I am mounting "Unsupported Hardware" sic.) NOW:- When ASUS make half the Motherboards on the planet and ATI make half the Graphic cards, then WHY?? , if I choose on account of this prevalence to regard this as a rather general bug and and start writing this report is my computer already telling me that I have to go "unix-nerd" , and open a terminal, and install a program called "pavucontrol" which is a volume control for something called "Pulse Audio" and which as I eventually find instruction; will, if run with no options and no commands, tell me in an extremely frustrating fashion, that somewhere in it's interior it is running my desired HDMI at 100% volume !!
