+ I did a fresh install of jaunty on my HP DV9812EG Notebook, but HDMI
Audio out isn't working.
In the beginning i had ALSA Version 1.0.18 installed, which came with
Ubuntu 9.04. Even tough the .lastest propriatary geforce driver
(NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-185.18.14-pkg2.run) seem to work properly, there
was no HDMI sound. Thus, I updates to the lastest Kernel 2.6.30
(official release, no RC) and ALSA 1.0.20, but it didn't change
anything. The HDMI "device" can't be recognized even tough it should be
there.
+
+ ALSA 1.0.20 was configured with the following command:
+
+ ./configure --with-cards=all --with-card-options=all --with-
+ sequencer=yes && make
Under Windows Vista Everest finds the following soundcard and HD Audio
Modem:
Conexant Cx20561 @ nVIDIA MCP65 - High Definition Audio Controller
Modem HDAUDIO Soft Data Fax Modem with SmartCP
"hwinfo --short" under ubuntu 9.04 confirms this, but "aplay -l" list
only these two audio devices (it should be three at least):
ren...@riese:~$ aplay -l

I even tried to go back to ALSA 1.0.19 but it is not possible to
./configure the original alsa-driver package (there was an error, but i
don't remember which). As an alternative i tried to install the linuxant
deb-version of ALSA (alsa-driver-linuxant_1.0.20.3_all.deb) and the
realtek version (realtek-linux-audiopack-5.11) but both versions didn't
work.
So this must be a bug, because everything else works fine (e.g. HDMI
Video out, Laptop Speakers, Ear-Plug-Audio out...)
Unfortunately, to find and eliminate the bug, I can contribute only with
some other information:
