Nvidia HDMI No Sound

[tad1073]

I lost hdmi sound after updates, it's not even listed in sound settings. Nvidia 319.12 driver.

I also just updated and lost all sound. I'm using Nvidia driver version 313.30 (this is not what was updated; it was working fine previously). Running Ubuntu 13.04 which is up to date.

What happened was the HDMI output option disappeared from my sound settings. There is no option for HDMI audio.

it is cause of a kernel bug, you could use the mainline kernel or boot the the old kernel
i have attached a mainline installer and update checker
install via terminal using the install script

EDIT:
Found a bug in the attachment to patch it after installing run this command:

sudo sed "s/'-q'/\"-\$r\"/" -i /usr/local/bin/KernelUpdateScriptGenerator

What do I do after I have installed it?

What do I do after I have installed it?

it adds 2 scripts and a startup entry (so when you loin to your system it checks for new kernels)
to check for updates run this command (if accepts one parameter, "-no-rc" it will make it not accept a release candidate kernel)

KernelUpdateChecker

you will need a notification in the corner of your screen with instructions

Is there a config file for this?

[pqwoerituytrueiwoq]

no, all it does it check the this url for new versions of the kernel
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/
it filters the folders to the one for your release (raring/quantal)
then it compares your running kernel version against the listed versions and tells you if there is a new one (you can add -no-rc to exclude release candidates) then it has a install script generated using KernelUpdateScriptGenerator. you can edit the 2 scripts if needed

if you want kernels from a different release edit line 23 of then generator script, change "lsb_release -sc" to "raring" or "qunatal" or which ever release you want
i just found a bug in the generator, here is the new line 29, the edit is in bold
$name2=substr($name,0,strpos($name,"-$r"));

i made a thread that has a way to patch the old version

i added more options to the script
i put my script on github
https://github.com/GM-Script-Writer-...Kernel-Updater

~$ KernelUpdateChecker -h
This script sends data to KernelUpdateScriptGenerator
This script saves the update script made by the script to a file and gives the user instructions
This is the help info from KernelUpdateScriptGenerator
Options:
    -no-rc sets the script to ignore Release Canidate versions
    -r overrides the release version
        eg: `KernelUpdateScriptGenerator -r raring` 
        Would mean to a only kernels for raring even if you are using quantal
    -v is used to specify version series
        eg: `KernelUpdateScriptGenerator -v 3.8` 
        Would mean to a only accept kernels starting with 3.8 in the version number

Thanks, I ended up reverting to an older kernel and the audio is working again.

This didn't work for me, but I'm running Catalyst drivers, so maybe that's the issue. I had HDMI but lost it upon upgrading to Kubuntu 13.04. What to do?
