Ubuntu Multimedia :: Zotac Zbox (Intel GMA3150) HDMI To TV Overscanning

Sep 1, 2011

I am not sure what to do about my problem so I am making a post. I will point out that I am kind of new to linux, but I understand the basics of command line operation and such, which is why i didnt post this in the beginners forum. I bought a Zotaz Zbox SD-ID12-U, linked below, and am having annoying troubles with the HDMI connection to my TV.[URL]...I have installed Ubuntu 11.04 via USB DVD player -- everything seems to be working except for this. The issue is that through HDMI at 720p it over-scans about 20 pixels on all four sides of the tv screen. In the "Monitor Preferences" it lists only 3 resolution options, all of which have the same overscan issue:

1280x720(16:9)
800x600 (4:3)
640:480(4:3)

The device has an Intel GMA 3150 on it and when I run "lspci | grep VGA" the output is:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation N10 Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) This problem does not exist when I use a VGA cable, which scales the screen properly for a variety of resolutions. I prefer to use HDMI so I would like to resolve this issue. I have looked through the forums but am kind of overwhelmed with this stuff and really dont know where to begin.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: HDMI Audio With Alsa In 10.10 - Zotac ZBox HD-ID11

Dec 22, 2010

Here is my situation, I have a Zotac zBox HD-ID11

- I had Ubuntu 10.04 and got audio trough HDMI after applying this : AlsaUpgrade
- I migrated to Ubuntu 10.10

During the process I was asked "do you want to replace this alsa* file" I said Yes After the migration I had alsa 1.0.23 and the aplay -l showed the proper sounds cards. using "aplay -Dplughw:X,Y -fcd /mySound.wav" When X, Y was 0,0 I had sound though analog When X was 1 and Y was 3, 7, 8, 9 had no sound though hdmi.

Ubuntu Installation :: Zotac Zbox ION Install Guide?

Feb 6, 2011

I had the bug for a Boxee system. After looking at a bunch of different small HTPC options, I settled on the Zotac ZBOXHD-ND22-U system. Highlights of the box: Dual-core 1.2 Ghz CULV CPU ION chipset, handles up to 8GB of DDR3 (PC3-8500) 2.5" SATA bay
6xUSB2 ports, front SD slot HDMI port, supporting up to 7.1 audio

After a good bit of research, I opted to install Maverick instead of Lucid, since Maverick includes the required ALSA 1.0.23 release. This isn't an utterly complete cookbook. I'm doing this from memory... Here's what I did, roughly in order:

1. Install Maverick via a USB stick (built with Unetbootin). I selected Maverick x86, so I wouldn't have to muck around with the whole 32-bit flash on amd64 business, particularly in an embedded environment.

2. Removed gdm - we'll be booting directly into Boxee here. aptitude remove gdm, also let it remove the dependencies. Later, I went back and removed extraneous packages, like all of the gnome desktop stuff. Seemed fairly pointless to keep it around.

Ubuntu :: No HDMI Audio With Zotac Ion Itx G-E

Jun 25, 2010

I recently put together a small computer on which I'm running Ubuntu 10.04. The plan here was to test the motherboard out for use in a HTPC running linux, and using smplayer and vdpau (not exactly sure if that's the way to say it), I'm running video just fine out of my HDMI cable, but I'm not having any luck getting any audio.

My motherboard is one of those Zotac Ion Itx G-E with an NVidia Geforece 9400 thingamajig. Customer reviews on New Egg said it handled Linux and Mythbuntu well, and that was my reason for making this purchase. When I recieved my motherboard, I loaded Ubuntu as the instructions said I should, and then I attempted to load the disc with the drivers and that failed. Apparently, the disc was designed to run in Windows. I downloaded drivers from the Zotac website which were supposedly designed for linux, however I haven't had any luck installing these. The terminal keeps saying I need the installer.

Hardware :: User Groups And Intel Gma3150 Hardware Acceleration

Mar 18, 2011

I have crunchbang statler xfce installed on my netbook. And everything used to work (with some work arounds for somethings) till i updated the system last week, and now i dont have hardware acceleration. When i run glxinfo as user i get the error segmentation fault, but as root everything seems to be okey. /var/log/xorg.0.log shows that the intel driver is loaded normaly. So this looks to me that i might not be in the right group. But grep video /etc/group gives as output: video:x:44:mardo

I even tried chancing the the DRI group to mardo in the xorg.conf without sucses

Code:
Section "DRI"
Group "mardo"
Mode 0666
EndSection

Code:
mardo@crunchbang-netbook:~$ ls -l /dev/dri/card0
crw-rw-rw-+ 1 root mardo 226, 0 Mar 19 11:33 /dev/dri/card0

Ubuntu Installation :: Karmic On Zotac Ion 330 Itx-A?

Jan 9, 2010

I've been trying to install karmic from a usb key onto a new zotac ion 300 itx-A board and can't get into the liveCD to test things out. The system boots to the install menu and when I select "Try Ubuntu..." the system hangs on a blinking cursor. This also happens if I choose the "safe graphics" mode.

Selecting "Install Ubuntu" has the same result. I recently used the same usb key to install karmic onto my laptop so I know it works. Searching for "karmic zotac ion" has led me to some posts about xorg not loading but that's after the initial install process and also on an alpha version of Karmic (I'll burn that bridge when i get to it). Others seem to have had no problem getting karmic installed.

I've also tried mythbuntu and 64-bit jaunty with the same results. Is there any way I can find out what's causing this hang? I can't get into a console or anything.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Cannot Get Sound Through HDMI

May 20, 2010

I have an HP 8510w laptop and I run ubuntu 10.04 out of an external harddrive.

I have no problem getting video over hdmi using the latest proprietary nvidia drivers however I cannot get sound through the HDMI cable.

I have read around without being able to find a solution.

Running "aplay -l" shows only my intel sound card and also there is no hdmi sound interface in the sound preferences (Only the normal output interface).

I am using the latest proprietary nvidia drivers (Believe it to be 1.95) and the graphics card is a Quadro FX 570.

how I can get sound out to work via the hdmi cable?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: HDMI Or DVI Mythbuntu 10.10

Dec 23, 2010

I have an ECS gf7100pvt-m3 that has the Nvidia MCP73 chipset that supports HDMI out. Unfortunately the MB only has a DVI connector which from what I have read is supposed to cross wire the audio to the correct pins on the HDMI (have a ticket in with ECS to see if like ATI there is a special adapter).

I have tried every thing but only Analog audio is working.

I've tried listed on these links to no avail:

The only error is the at the Aumix isn't touching....I can select HDMI or IEC958 1 etc etc and the audio mixer shows full blue as if it should be working but I can't get VLC or MythTV to output sound.

Everything works fine except for the HDMI out to my tv, in windows it worked perfectly, in ubuntu however when I plug the TV in it, absolutely nothing happens it doesn't seem to recognise it at all.

I have tried to reboot whilst still plugged in, the loading screen then appeared on the tv, but when it got in to Ubuntu, it showed up on the laptop and tv was just flickering black.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Get VGA To HDMI Converter?

Ubuntu Multimedia :: No Audio Over HDMI

May 12, 2011

I have been trying for a while now to get the audio over HDMI working from my PNY G210 graphics card and mythtv but with no luck.

I have followed this guide [URL]

prior to following this I only had my motherboards on board audio showing up but I am now at the stage that I can see the HDMI audio and select it and un mute it but still cannot get any sound out of it.

As a side effect after following the steps from the link above, now every time I boot the computer up my on board audio is muted so I need to un mute it from sound preferences.

This is my audio config as it stands:
scott@MythtvFrontend:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: AD198x Analog [AD198x Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1

[Code].....

The mother board is a an ASUS MN32-SLI deluxe and I have 2 graphics cards in it, a 9600GT to run the 2 monitors connected and a G210 which I would like to use to connect to my TV using the HDMI output. At the moment I am using the VGA output from the G210 to the TV and a separate audio out from the computer which was working fine but the audio is now always muted on startup.

I don't think it is an issue with my mythtv settings as I cannot get any audio over the HDMI using speaker-test (on board analogue audio works ok).

Ubuntu Multimedia :: No Sound Over HDMI - GTX 550 Ti

Jun 9, 2011

I recently purchased a new video card a GeForce 550 Ti, but I haven't been able to get sound working over HDMI.

I'm running the latest version of Ubuntu (11.04) and have installed the proprietary drivers through Additional Drivers.

Code:

The card is being picked up by alsa and I've configured Ubuntu to use HDMI in sound preferences:

aplay -l:

Code:

When I check alsamixer this is what I see:

ALSA reports that version 1.0.23 is installed, although I thought 11.04 came with version 1.0.24?

cat /proc/asound/version:

Code:

I've tried purging ALSA and reinstalling it but it didn't help. Is there anything I can do? Does anyone know if this card is supported by ALSA properly yet? I hate the thought of having to go to Windows to get this working

Ubuntu Multimedia :: No HDMI Audion In 11.04?

Aug 21, 2011

After upgrading to 11.04 I noticed that HDMI audio stopped working. When I connect the HDMI cable to the TV the image is transfered but there is not sound.I tried several things, starting with checking the sound preferences. I have there two devices, one for internal audio and another for HDMI. When I select the HDMI output I have no sound. I tried to run gnome-alsamixer and it shows two devices as well, but for the HDMI it gives me no parameter at all there.Device configuration seems ok and aplay -l gives me the follwoing info:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC269 Analog [ALC269 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I also tried some troubleshooting pages like this but couldn't solve the problem (in fact when trying one of the suggestions of this page it messed up the whole sound configuration of my laptop and had to reinstall alsa driver modules as explained here to come back to the previous state with only the HDMI problem).What makes me really upset is that with the previous Ubuntu version (10.10) HDMI audio worked just fine then after upgrading to 11.04 it stopped working.

Another interesting thing about this problem is that when I play a video from a web page, for example from ....., and try to use HDMI audio, the video runs much faster than normal with no sound. If I switch to internal audio, while still sending the video over HDMI, it works fine with the audio playing in the laptop and the video in my TV.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: Sound Over HDMI With Nvidia ION ?

Jan 4, 2010

I am having trouble getting sound over hdmi with my Nvidia MCP7A HDMI. The strange thing is that everything works fine in a Live disc, but once I do a fresh install of that Live disc I get no sound, even though my configuration is exactly the same (as far as I can tell). I've checked the little things like alsamixer volumes, aplay -l, etc etc. Everything looks good to me. I can reproduce on multiple TVs so its not the receiver. Video drivers are the same in both live version and installed. aplay -l detects my device. sound/pci/hda/patch_nvhdmi.c already has my correct vendor id in it. Perhaps the following info can figure out what my installed environment is lacking.

Ubuntu Multimedia :: HDMI Output On A Meerkat ION ?

Jan 14, 2010

I work at a television station and we recently purchased a System76 Meerkat ION with the intended purpose of using the HDMI out port for broadcast purposes. We have an existing AJA HA5 box which is capable of converting HDMI to HD-SDI (HD-SDI being the baseband standard in professional broadcasting).

The converter is only willing to accept the following values:

1920 x 1080 @ 29.97
1280 x 720 @ 59.94

I am wondering if it is possible to manually configure Xorg.conf (or whatever file is being edited by NVIDIA X Server Settings) to tell the HDMI output to only produce the latter resolution (1280 x 720).

I'm able to get HDMI audio/video perfectly when I'm playing a dvd on mythbuntu. However, If I try to play the ripped version or any other video that is on the hard drive, I get no Audio?

I've checked alsamixer to make sure the device isn't muted.

If I use vlc media player I don't have any audio either. Is there a way to enable hdmi audio as default?
