Nvidia HDMI No Sound

[pqwoerituytrueiwoq]

So simply updating to the 3.9 kernel will fix most hdmi sound issues with nvidia or ati?

not sure about ati, there are some intel hdmi issues as well it fixes, no harm is trying it and finding out

Just rebooted. Seems it fixed it, rocking out to badcompany now lol.
edit: the script made it so simple thanks.

With my alc888 and nvidia gt 218 ob my twitech, your Ubuntu-Mainline-Kernel-Updater worked thanks.

you are still using the old kernel you have not used the update script made you just installed it
run these commands

~$ KernelUpdateChecker -no-rc
#then run
~$ /tmp/kernel-update

Thank you. This fixed the issue upon restart.

ok so I tried ubuntu 13.04 rarring ringtail and I got no sound now on my tv which is a hdmi.
i tryed a new hdmi cabel which was shorter because i guess that might make a problem.
and then i got a dvd player with hdmi because the man at best buy said that if the hdmi port is bad it wont work with a dvd player but it does so it is a good port.
then i take my tv down from the wall and put it in the basement where my other computer is the one with windows and i got another hdmi cabel and hooked it up and it worked fine so i put it back upstairs and tryed all 3 hdmi cabels and none of them is working so it must be this sound card right?
so i went to cincinnati and got a new sound card a pny geforce that is supposed to be really good and put it in.
so then i got a new download from the ubuntu sight and put it on a new dvd and installed it again and told it to get rid of everything and do a fresh install and whipe away everything else and ut-oh still no sound.
so then i looked on here and found a lot of people saying it was fixed and so i thot to try this.
So I read this and it says it is fixed but I can't get it to work.
there is lots of things posted and then there are edit to the things that are posted and then other things to try and a whole lot of people saying i tried this and then i tried that and then there is another script on the next page with more options and then a hole lot of commands about alsa and more edits to the script.
all i am getting is 2 same sound cards if i use cat /proc/asound/modules and i don't know how to figure out what is the default.
and all i get when i install the script (first one or any of the others to.) is that there is a missing file ("operand") and then it says to use --help but that give a hole lot of things about makeing backups and binaries and selinux security
and all i get when i try KernelUpdateChecker with any of the minuses that are posted is that now its not found.
so what i want to know is with all the different things on here that is to try, which one is the one to make it fixed? if it is fixed then why are so many different things to try and which ones are the real ones to use.

Here is the kernel update checker install guide:

The script worked very well, and now uname -r returns 3.8.9-030809-generic. (I was worried, because when I tried to perform the upgrade manually yesterday, things did not go as well.)
To complicate matters, I'm using a network adaptor that is an enormous pain to install and maintain (the dkms instructions have never worked for me), and freezes the machine all too frequently, often beyond the ability of the magic REISUB SysReq magic to force a reboot.
Thankfully, that's still working (as well as it ever does) after the mainline upgrade and a recompile of the driver.

However, I still have no HDMI volume controls in alsamixer.

Running cat /proc/asound/card1/eld#1.0 indicates that's what my TV is plugged into, which corresponds to card 1, device 7 (according to HDMI Audio on NVIDIA GPUs).

alsamixer defaults to card0, but when I use F6 to switch to card1, this is all I get:

What am I missing?

[brianary]

Nevermind. Despite the alsamixer, I have sound now.

Thank you for creating this update script. It has been awhile since the last post but the issue still remains. I encountered an error you may wish to address in the readme. After extracting the script from the .zip archive and trying to run it, it said permission denied. I used chmod +x to correct the issue, but this might be hard to a newbie to figure out. I believe that zip archives do not retain file permissions, you may wish to address that issue in the readme, or remove the .zip entirely and have people use other methods.

After using this script my computer got back to the same state that it was in before I updated. The front left and right speakers work, but the rest of my 5.1 system does not.

executable permissions are not required it you use bash/sh in front of the /path/to/script part, these are bash scripts which is how th readme says to do it
