HDMI video out is fine, HDMI audio is a no go.
I realise this is an issue that has been covered a lot, one way or another, but at least from what I've been able to find, most of the discussion centres around getting HDMI audio to work. However, I have problems even getting the video to work from my laptop's HDMI output.
I have an HP dv6z-se, with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6550 (1 Gb) video card and using F14/KDE. My problem is that when I go to System Settings/Display/Monitor, Fedora doesn't actually seem to realise my computer even has an HDMI output and only displays options for VGA and my integrated screen.
When I plug it into my LCD screen, sometimes I get a 'No Signal' message and sometimes I get garbled static and a message about unrecognised input and the frequency it's coming at.
I read elsewhere in the forum that someone was able to get video working by editing their xorg.conf file, so I went in and tried to see if I could replicate that, but none of the files in my xorg.conf.d folder had anything related to video outputs (as far as I can tell at this point).
i want to connect my laptop to the lcd using hdmiI have nvidia video card 9200 gs and the driver is installedafter connecting both together nothing happens!do i have to change anything in the system or display settings?

I'm trying to get sound to go out that HDMI cable, but although the device shows up on lspci, I can't get it acknowledged by aplay -l, which lists the audio devices known to the audio driver.
lspci shows (in part): 00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)01:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation High Definition Audio Controller (rev a1) The first is the motherboard audio, and it works fine. The second (I assume) is the graphics card with HDMI. But aplay -l lists only the motherboard analog and S/PDIF outputs:

I can't see how I'm going to select a device that the drivers think isn't there. how to make that device visible to the sound drivers? I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 with a 2.6.32 stock kernel. The Nvidia driver version is 195.36.24.
I am having a problem with my Revo 3610 which is connected to my TV via HDMI.
For some reason it will not do the HDMI handshake with the TV, so my TV does not think that there is anything in the HDMIport.
I have tested the TV and it works fine with my laptop and DVD player.
It does work sometimes, but this time it's failed for two days in a row. I've tried rebooting and turning the TV off and on, but nothing helps.
I can trick the TV to listen to the HDMI by connecting with my laptop and then changing the HDMI back to my revo; this results in the image going through nicely but there is a big fat "Check signal cable." message on the screen.
I have also tried changing the resolution in the revo but this does not help either.
In fedora or centos linux is it possible to connect HDMI camera to HDMI capture device [url]. And get the video for playback from Linux? Or still there will be driver issues?

i'm new in linux and i have a problem with my hdmi lcd under linux. To be more precise , my graphic card is an Nvidia GTX 295 with hdmi output to a Dell 2408W LCD screen and the problem is that linux can't see the hdmi connection, working just with DVI or VGA. I also have Windows 7 in dual boot with linux and in windows it works just fine. To mention that i tried several linux distributions: Ubuntu, Ubuntu ultimate 2.7 and Sabayon 5.4.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm aware that there are no Bluray players for Linux but I'm wondering if it's possible to play Full 3D HD (1080p, Side-By-Side) MKV files (or Bluray BDMV folders, etc).
Full 3D HD files are actually two 1080p frames "side-by-side" so the effective resolution is 3840x1200. In order to play these properly the software needs to switch to TV into 3D mode (or however HDMI 1.4a works).
I don't think simply playing the 3840x1200 resolution file will work so are there any options out there?
I'm on a Dell Inspiron 1525 running Arch Linux with an Intel 965 GM video chipset (from dmesg). I'm using the xf86-video-intel driver, and Xorg (using xfce4) works flawlessly, including compositing. Before getting into details about the HDMI, I'd like to ask why I don't gave an xorg.conf.d/10-moniter.conf, it's not there, just evdev, quirks, and synaptics (because I figured that moniter.conf could be modified to include HDMI). So, basically when I'm on my XFCE4 desktop, I plug in the HDMI cable and to the TV, and on windows, it would would work, but on Arch the TV just says: "No input", and my desktop just stays the same, so absolutely nothing happens. If I have it connected upon bootup, the HDMI displays (the BIOS and grub menu on the TV) until I select to boot Arch linux on Grub, then the tv screen goes blank. I've tried Googling this but I got no decent results, just a bunch of random posts of audio not working with Nvidia.
PS - I did dmesg and lspci (with grep HDMI) and no results, so maybe it doesn't even recognize it, but then what do I do? There's obviously Linux support for HDMI...
Can anyone suggest a method to change the display settings of HDMI from an application in Linux. I am using fedora core 11 and my PC has intel integrated graphics controller.

So, i've installed a Debian Jessie (minimal install "gnome-core") and i'm using an ATI radeon R5 230, with libre driver (and non-free firmware) and all works well in stereo.
But i'm looking for surround sound via HDMI (5.1).
My configuration is : PC --- HDMI ---> Pioneer Receiver ---- HDMI ----> Screen
The receiver looks well detected as seen in the eld file :
Code: Select allcat /proc/asound/card1/eld#0.0
Code: Select allmonitor_present 1
eld_valid 1
monitor_name
connection_type HDMI
eld_version [0x2] CEA-861D or below
edid_version [0x0] no CEA EDID Timing Extension block present

I've created a udev rule for pulseaudio for loading a personal conf file with a profile i've created.
Code: Select allATTRS{vendor}=="0x1002", ATTRS{device}=="0xaa98", ENV{PULSE_PROFILE_SET}="HDMI5.1.conf"
Code: Select all[Mapping hdmi-surround-51]
device-strings = hdmi:%f
channel-map = front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,front-center,lfe
description = Surround 5.1 (HDMI)
priority = 2
direction = output
paths-output = hdmi-output-0
It works great (I can see 6 channels in pavucontrol or via "sound" in "settings"), but i got "duplicate stereo" and not real 5.1
If I made a speaker test, all tests makes sounds comes from the Front center speaker (and front R and L with less volume)... but not real 5.1 ....
Can we (and how ?) get 5.1 via HMDI with an ATI and free drivers ?
Well almost no sound. The only way to get sound out is if i use the following command
speaker-test -D plughw:0,7 -c 2 /dev/urandom
I have the following line in /etc/pulse/default.pa
load-module module-alsa-sink device=plughw:0,7
But when i play any applications i hear no sound. For example "mplayer zion.mp3" results in silence.
When using pavucontrol, i see the sound bar moving for the hdmi hardware device. But i still hear nothing.
Does anyone know what could be wrong?
I was looking for a solution to watch HDTV quality videos on multiple tv's. I have a cable run and cat5 run to each room and wanted a way to watch hidef movies in each room preferably synced. After much searching I'm coming to the conclusion that this will be hard and expensive no matter which route I want to go. I'm thinking my best route is to build a media converter and pipe that to each room.
I found a couple of HDMI input cards [URL] and [URL] that work in linux. Great with one of those I can get it to a computer signal and even get it on standard coax using a VGA2RCA converter and 1/8 inch to rca for audio hooked up to an old vcr set to channel 3 or 4. And for TV's that support hidef I can hook up computers at each to receive the video over gig ethernet.
So the question becomes what is a good app for sending and what is a good app for receiving. Is gig ethernet fast enough for 1080i? what about 1080p? Comcast has multiple hdtv channels over their coax; so how is it so hard to even encode one channel to an hdtv signal to watch on tv. Is there a way to encode the video to hdtv over the coax like comcast? So I can use the tv itself to watch the hdtv broadcast from my computer over the coax?
Can someone provide me with the exact instructions I need to backtrace pulseaudio? I have a bug that a developer is asking me to do a backtrace and the instructions on the ubuntu site aren't very good. I tried exactly what it said and my problem is that it says to "run the program under gdb by doing
gdb pulseaudio 2>&1 | tee ~/gdb-pulseaudio.txt
unfortunately pulseaudio isn't actually starting when I do this (I kill the program before I do this command, I also add the appropriate text file so pulse doesn't auto restart). Not sure what's going on but I'd appreciate any help as I can't get sound out of HDMI (I get it but it dies out fast).
I am on Opensuse 11.3 and am trying to get HDMI output on my Sanyo 36' HDTV with an ATI Mobility Radeon 4250 using the latest opensource Radeonhd driver. I have tested all the resolutions, set the refresh to Auto and set the tv to clone state, I reboot and Grub loads, and an image is now present on my television, but when I boot into my kernel the signal is lost. I have searched endlessly on the issue and can't find any sort of a solution (apparently I'm the only linux user that has experienced this, all's that comes up is Windows forums telling me to wipe and reload)

However the output aplay -l is showing me(I got hdmi sound working on my laptop) isn't the same as on my laptop, it does not show the hdmi "sound card"
here is the output:

View 10 Replies View RelatedI can not get any sound through my HDMI cable. Sound through my headphones works fine. But when I want sound to go through the HDMI and play on the monitor, there is no sound.
The HDMI cable is connected to my Radeon R9 270X graphics card.
My OS version is 8.1.
It works on Windows 8.1, so it is definitely an operating system problem.
I'm on Jessie, and use KDE.
Sound keeps coming from laptop's speakers, even when HDMI is connected to an external TV.
I've tried to fix this issue using both Pulse Audio Volume Control and KDE's System Settings -> Multimedia -> Audio and Video Settings. No luck. I've read several topics around, but there are plenty of variables to consider.
I want use HDMI for my TV mais there is no sound I think it s because :

I recently switched from a DVI cable to a HDMI cable (from the motherboard to the monitor) on my desktop. Everything was working flawlessly with the DVI cable, but when i switched to the HDMI cable the resolution became altered in a strange way. According to both the 'Monitor Preferences' and 'NVIDIA X Server Settings' my resolution is 1920x1080. Both the mouse and some icons looks to be in that resolution. However, the gnome panels, the rest of the icons, toolbars, etc. are huge and in a low resolution. While using Iceweasel, the top gnome panel and the Iceweasel toolbars take up half my screen! I can't find a way to alter the size of these since my resolution is set to maximum. I thought it might be a problem with gnome, so I tried Fluxbox, but the same problems were there. Have anybody else come across this, or perhaps know of a solution?
