lost hdmi sound on upgrade

**slgtheindividual** · May 6th, 2013

upon upgrading to 13.04 from 12.10 the hdmi picture on my tv works fine but sound does not, it worked perfectly before, hdmi doesn't come up on the sound or pulseaudio menu,

sudo aplay -l

gives

Code:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC269VB Analog [ALC269VB Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I have tried

sudo alsamixer -c 0

and then unmuted S/PDIF but nothing changes (also whenever I start a new session S/PDIF is once again muted)

also tried running

speaker-test -c 2 -r 48000 -D hw:0,3

but again nothing happened. I have intel HD graphics 4000 and an i5 processor.

Thank you in advance for any help

I had this problem too. I did:

Code:

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms

This installs the daily updates and after I did that my HDMI device appeared, happy days. Hope this works for you.

The first two commands work fine but then when I run

Code:

sudo apt-get install alsa-hda-dkms

I get the following:

Code:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree 
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package alsa-hda-dkms

I rebooted but it still doesn't appear.

I also tried following the instructions here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS but that also did not help and I still get Unable to locate package alsa-hda-dkms after an update and a reboot

Try

Code:

sudo apt-get install oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms

as the last line instead? (Edited my original post accordingly).

I too have tried following this - I have upgraded kernel to 3.9.11-030911-generic, but all attempts to install oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms fail with an error that says there is a BUILD-EXCLUSIVE flag which appears to dislike my kernel version?
Any advice on how I fix this would be very much appreciated!
