I can not get audio over HDMI to work. Speakers or headphones work great. After 16 hours of futile research, here I am.

I have an I3-2105 on an ASRock Z68M-ITX/HT board and a hauppage capture card. Running 11.10 with kernel 3.1 (the default kernel got no HDMI sound either)

Other than and updated kernel I have changed the xorg.conf to provide a custom resolution to a Vizio VW32L tv.

Nothing is muted in aslamixer. I noticed that the Monitor Identifier in xorg.conf is HDMI3 and xrandr shows that HDMI device connected. But, the audio devices are HDMI0 AND HDMI1. Where is the one for the physical HDMI3 connection? I guess my main question is how can I map the audio HDMI outs to montior HDMI outs and am i missing an audio device?

Hi,
Where is my sound card?

Yeah...I did go through that one. Also the one on the ubuntu forums. The one on the mythtv forums. The one on the alsa forums. The one on the mythbuntu forums. The one on the linuxtv forums. The one on the avs forum. And various other guides which do not solve my specific HDMI problem with a specific chipset. I don't ask questions unless I am at a dead end and need help.

**Rey Templario** · November 17th, 2011

Me too, I did thousands of "solutions". Now I have a broken kernel, I can't even re-install the pulseaudio.

**snowdogging** · November 17th, 2011

ASRock Z68M-ITX/HT HDMI audio out SOLUTION:

Not sure if its a BIOS issue or an alsa issue but Ubuntu is picking up the wrong default HDMI device for this onboard alc892 (cougarpoint) chip. The rear HDMI port is plughw:0,7 but it the OS is using a default of plughw:0,3.

To fix, create this file:

/etc/asound.conf

Code:

pcm.!default "plughw:PCH,7"

Rey, just boot into recovery and do and fsck and then a kernel repair.
