    Red face Sound DG45ID HDMI Jaunty 9.04

    Hi Guys,

    I have some problem with the sound on HDMI channel on my DG45ID board.

    I have set all outputs in settings/sound to the HDMI output and when i press "Test" i get a signal on my TV but when i play a media file i still get only sound in head phones.

    Have i missed some setting or is this same problem everyone else seems to have with HDMI sound?


    Im running Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 with alsa 1.0.20 drivers.

    Sound through HDMI definitely works on a DG45ID after a fresh install of Mythbuntu 9.04 and upgrading ALSA to v 1.0.20. (FINALLY!!)

    This is how I did it:

    1) Install of mythbuntu 9.04
    2) Upgrade ALSA to 1.0.20 using Soundcheck's excellent upgrade script
    http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6589810
    3) Verify and test device with the command aplay -l
    The HDMI device should be hw:0,3
    4) Configure mythtv settings for audio playback: Utilities/Setup>Setup>General>Audio[/INDENT]
    • Audio output device>ALSA:plughw:0,3
    • Configure passthrough settings as needed
    • IMPORTANT: turn off (uncheck) Aggressive Sound card Buffering
    • Mixer>ALSA:default
    • Mixer controls>PCM

    5) configure additional media player commands if other media players are used within mythTV to playback audio or video {e.g. xine, mplayer, etc.}
    • For Xine, you need to add the output device [plughw:0,3] directly in the player preferences/settings.
    • If you use mplayer, then the playback command in needs an option added (can't recall now since I use xine for most playback, a search will yield the correct option...maybe -ao plughw:0.3)


    6) the last step is to TURN AUTOUPDATE OFF!!!! Basically one update and it borked my sound back to the stone age.

    I hope this give some hope to DG45ID owners out there. I know I have been waiting for audio to work for quite sometime and basically wrote this board off a while ago.
