@Gerry, it's clear from your aplay list that the kernel doesn't see the HDMI audio hardware. Mine, for example, shows:
card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] So it appears you need TWO workarounds; the second is ready to go but the requirement of the first is to make the kernel aware of your HDMI audio hardware. Perhaps this bug encompasses both needs...or maybe just one...or the other...aaiiii! This is what makes sorting through all the relevant online info so difficult. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1834771 Title: No HDMI-audio after kernel 4.15.-0.50 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1834771/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
