The upstream 3.13 kernel is currently under development. The radeon.audio=1 kernel boot option will no longer be necessary with this kernel. Instead, HDMI audio on ATI/AMD Radeon cards can be enabled and disabled on the fly by typing the following in a terminal window:
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set audio on or xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set audio off If your HDMI port is numbered differently (type "xrandr" to check) - you might need to change HDMI-0 in the above command to HDMI-1 or HDMI-2. The 3.13-rc2 kernel is currently available at http://kernel.ubuntu.com /~kernel-ppa/mainline/ and instructions on how to install and uninstall it are available at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/970795 Title: [MSI 785GM-E51 (MS-7596), ATI R6xx HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] No sound at all Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: sudo lshw -class multimedia *-multimedia description: Audio device product: RV770 HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 4850/4870] vendor: Hynix Semiconductor (Hyundai Electronics) physical id: 0.1 bus info: pci@0000:01:00.1 version: 00 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm pciexpress msi bus_master cap_list configuration: driver=snd_hda_intel latency=0 resources: irq:43 memory:feaec000-feaeffff *-multimedia description: Audio device product: SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) vendor: Hynix Semiconductor (Hyundai Electronics) physical id: 14.2 bus info: pci@0000:00:14.2 version: 00 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm bus_master cap_list configuration: driver=snd_hda_intel latency=64 resources: irq:16 memory:fe9f4000-fe9f7fff ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: alsa-base 1.0.25+dfsg-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-21.34-generic 3.2.13 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-21-generic i686 NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
