Thanks much. And medium sounds about right. I'll just add that the problem might actually be with libxl, which libvirt relies on to communicate with xl, rather that with libvirt itself. But I'll have that determination to someone with far more knowledge than me. -- You received this bug

Yep, I found Ubuntu 3.8.0-7-generic in one of my old backups. Too bad Ubuntu doesn't maintain a repository of kernels from previous daily builds. And actually, I'm surprised that they don't. Oh well. Guess I'll either wait until this bug is fixed before a clean install of the final release or

Regarding Ubuntu 13.04: I just noticed that I am NOT restricted to a resolution of 1024x768 when using a kernel from an earlier daily build. Rather, mirroring works properly again in Ubuntu 13.04 with the Linux 3.8.0-7-generic kernel. Mirroring may also work with kernels that are more recent

QUESTION: I know where to find earlier mainline kernels. But are earlier versions of the Ubuntu kernels available for download? If so, from where? I'd like to test mirroring with the Ubuntu 3.8.0-8 and 3.8.0-9 kernels. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu

CORRECTION: Contrary to what I wrote in comment #37, the Ubuntu 3.8.0-17-generic kernel DOES support HDMI audio in Ubuntu 13.04. However, at least for me, HDMI audio continues not to work with the Ubuntu 3.8.0-18-generic kernel or with the Ubuntu 3.8.0-19-generic kernel. So the bug seems to have

I've also been having the same problem (no HDMI audio) with a Radeon HD 6670 beginning with the Ubuntu 3.8.0-18 kernel. I can confirm that HDMI audio DOES work in Ubuntu 13.04 with my Radeon HD 6670 in combination with the following mainline kernels: 3.8.0, 3.8.1, 3.8.2, 3.8.6, and 3.8.8.

Thanks Till. I tested a few more mainline kernels, including 3.8.3, 3.8.4, 3.8.5, 3.8.6, and 3.8.8. Unfortunately, mirroring also doesn't work properly with any of those tested mainline kernels. So at present, at least for me, the only relatively recent kernels that properly support mirroring

Hmm. That's strange. I've updated two different installations of Ubuntu 13.04, and I lost HDMI audio for both of them. I'll update again in a few days just to see if the problem corrects itself. If not self-correcting, I'll try a clean install from the final release in a few weeks. -- You
