Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander beta 2 neither working well with nouveau nor with nvidia-319 per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1203446 #36 et seq., calling the beta a "fix released" (in particular to an LTS) may be premature, even though no crashes have been detected yet on Saucy in further testing of HDMI audio with the latter proprietary driver either, and after installing pavucontrol from the Universe repository.
Neither System Settings / Sound (which will not switch back to 5.1 from a 2.0 speaker layout, and keep the 5.1 speakers silent even if shown) nor pavucontrol (which does not have HDMI audio in the left tab's drop- down at all) offer a usable selection (and testing option) for the surround output on Saucy anyway as of yet, so this is limited to command line use with speaker-test -c6 and the like at this time. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1203520 Title: 10de:1040 snd_hda_codec_hdmi (via pavucontrol or applications playing sound) freezes Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin freezes most of the time when trying to use HDMI audio (in particular from google-talkplugin, mplayer, vdr- sxfe, vlc, xine) up to and including the current Kernel 3.2.0-49 without putting snd_hda_codec_hdmi on the /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist- oss.conf (thereby losing sound over the Nvidia outputs). Invoking pavucontrol with snd_hda_codec_hdmi loaded almost always results in a crash that makes even Ctrl-Alt-SysRq inaccessible. Freezes also occurred with both hw and plughw devices of the Nvidia HDMIs under ALSA when pulseaudio had been uninstalled for testing. According to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1173769 #3 there is "a kernel issue which most likely is to happen with Nvidia graphics", this is also not fixed by using https://code.launchpad.net /~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/alsa-daily/+files/oem-audio-hda-daily- dkms_0.201307180553%7Eprecise1_all.deb according to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1169984 #16. New bug as identified by David Henningsson (diwic) to have different causes than https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-desktop- tests/+bug/1169984 at #119 et seq. Blacklisting is the supposed fix in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1181616 and http://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2012/05/msg00110.html but not the solution if HDMI audio is needed. --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
