Luckily I didn’t throw away all my old kernels, so I rebooted with kernel version 3.8.0-32-generic. This time,
gst-launch-1.0 uridecodebin uri=file:///<path to music file> ! alsasink device=hdmi:1 worked. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1245226 Title: HDMI: audio-video playback too fast Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: After upgrading to Ubuntu 13.10, selecting HDMI as audio output device is broken. Audio is played back at high speed. When playing back video clips, the video frames are also too fast. This is similar to an old bug I reported some time ago, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/897008 . In that case, adding radeon.audio=1 to the kernel command line solved. Now, the configuration is unchanged since when Ubuntu 13.04 was running $cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0-12-generic root=UUID=10b9da6b-d735-48a7-bc45-2c1fc81183dd ro quiet splash radeon.audio=1 vt.handoff=7 yet audio is broken. Note that, when selecting headphone as audio output device, everything works.
