This was affecting me, but I found a workaround on another forum or bug somewhere:
Steps: * Run alsamixer * look for muted outputs * unmute for me it was "S/PDIF 1". All the behaviour above matches - worked on previous ubuntu installs on the same hardware, other sound outputs worked - just not HDMI. Still needs a bugfix I guess - so that it isn't unnecessarily muted, or at least so that it can be unmuted through the normal GUI. But a good workaround so far. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/869318 Title: HDMI audio out doesn't work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/869318/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
