Hello Raymond,
Confusion.Apologies.
After a pause for reflection (and to work on my car
for MOT) , It seems to me that the thrust of your remarks and questions MIGHT
be that the display of the HDMI sound option might in some way be DEPENDENT
on the ability to recognise That an HDMI Hardware (Video) connection actually
exists??
This consideration did not originally occur to
me (!) while reporting the bug via THIS computer (AMD 2-Core) , connected at
the time to a CRT monitor NOT to the Sharp TV.
For your consideration therefore, I am
CURRENTLY USING the SAME machine, but NOW CONNECTED to the TV ;- and in order
to provide all the Diagnostics, I have just (Sat 5 Oct) submitted a second
report NEW BUG # 1235528
( As before, running "pavucontol" gives
me the Volume Control Window, which tells me that the Sound Output
Device is Turks/Whisler HDMI on Port "HDMI/Displayport" but this option
is NOT displayed on the System "Sound" menu..)

Title:
[System Product Name, ATI R6xx HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Playback
problem
Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
I have 2 computers; 1) this with Asus M2A-VMHDMI motherboard, 2core AMD
CPU and ATI HD 6000 series graphic card where I do not actually use the HDMI
output
; 2) the second with Asus M4A 72 PRO
motherboard, 4core Phenom and ATI HD 7000 (previously with the 6000 above),
which does use the HDMI to connect to a Sharp brand TV.
The symptom is the same:-
i) turn computer on
ii) select "system settings"
iii) select "sound"
iv) observe that I am presented with only
2 choices for sound "output" ---onboard analogue, or
onboard digital; NO HDMI
This same symptom occurs with every
attempted upgrade from 12.04 Precise Pangolin, whether I upgrade
online or from CD ; or erase the entire
installation and re-install the later versions fresh from CD (which I
often do when out of frustration I have
been tempted to load proprietary ATI drivers .......resulting in little
pop-ups with AMD kindly informing me that
I am mounting "Unsupported Hardware" sic.)
NOW:-
When ASUS make half the
Motherboards on the planet and ATI make half the Graphic cards, then
WHY?? , if I choose on account of this
prevalence to regard this as a rather general bug and and start writing
this report is my computer already telling
me that I have to go "unix-nerd" , and open a terminal, and install a
program called "pavucontrol" which is a
volume control for something called "Pulse Audio" and which as I
eventually find instruction; will, if run
with no options and no commands, tell me in an extremely frustrating
fashion, that somewhere in it's interior it
is running my desired HDMI at 100% volume !!
