[Alsa-user] Force-enabling a video mode breaks HDMI audio on Intel DG45FC
Hi Wu, I'm back to breaking stuff again :) First of all, the good news, HDMI (and SPDIF) audio works really well with 2.6.34...none of the previous problems with silence etc, seem to remain and the driver now seems to automagically map the channels to what ALSA userspace expects. However, I've found a new issue. My receiver likes to report a hardcoded list of supported video modes (1080i being the main one) via EDID which are not really useful. So I usually don't see the boot messages (X.org has 1080p hardcoded so once it starts I get a reasonable mode). I recently tried played with the video= kernel parameter, and booting with: video=HDMI Type A-1:1920x1...@60d gives me a proper video mode from the beginning. However, it also seems to break HDMI audio. Booting with that parameter - no audio, receiver doesn't light up, etc. Booting without that parameter - audio works as expected. Any ideas? -- David Härdeman -- ___ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user

[Alsa-user] Problem(?) when reloading modules.
Whenever I reload my audio driver, I get the following: FATAL: Error running install command for snd_seq WARNING: Error running install command for snd I'm reloading by unloading all the associated modules and `sudo modprobe snd_hda_intel`. What do these lines mean and how do I fix it? I don't see them on a fresh boot, only when reloading the driver. Many thanks.

Somebody suggested to just comment out the following line from /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf: install snd /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install snd { /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-ioctl32 ; /sbin/modprobe --quiet snd-seq ; } I did that and now the messages are gone. Rebooted the box to make sure it still works from there and yup, still working. I don't know if there's anything bad about removing that however. -- ___ Alsa-user mailing list Alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alsa-user
