Re: [Alsa-user] modprobe snd-virtuoso error
HDMI video works, it doesnt require the sound driver to be loaded for the video passthrough. At the moment my LCD (samsung) doesnt indicate any sound is coming from the HDMI cable. I'm trying to play a ac3 test file I found (end application is mythtv which doesnt work either), e.g. . aplay -Dplug:front:HDAV13 www_lynnemusic_com_surround_test.ac3 Playing raw data 'www_lynnemusic_com_surround_test.ac3' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono This plays static noise via the analogue output and another one aplay -Dplug:front:HDAV13 50_16.wav Playing WAVE '50_16.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo dmesg is displaying the following [ 13.520016] sent: fb ef 61 01 00 4c [ 13.528055] sent: fb ef 74 01 01 60 [ 13.528089] sent: fb ef 54 05 00 02 00 00 01 46 [ 13.983556] message from Xonar HDAV HDMI chip received: [ 13.983562] : 53 54 41 52 54 4f 4b STARTOK [ 14.041538] message from Xonar HDAV HDMI chip received: [ 14.041544] : 32 34 50 4f 46 46 4f 4b 24POFF however I would have expected several HDMI commands when playing the ac3 file but nothing is shown, probably because I'm not using aplay correctly. Is there another module which calls the hdmi_write_command, most of the commands in virtuoso.c seem to be around initialising and cleanup routines?

Re: [Alsa-user] Unable to configure ASUS A7V sound card with Alsa
Excuse the long reply... work has been taking up a lot of time lately. Any suggestions with this output? Original Message From: Clemens Ladisch cladi...@googlemail.com Apparently from: alsa-user-boun...@lists.sourceforge.net To: sto...@safe-mail.net Cc: alsa-user@lists.sourceforge.net, un...@physics.ubc.ca Subject: Re: [Alsa-user] Unable to configure ASUS A7V sound card with Alsa Date: Mon, 16 Feb 2009 15:46:07 +0100 sto...@safe-mail.net wrote: The card is enabled in the BIOS, Is the entry Enabled or Auto? The latter means the BIOS automatically disables it when it finds another sound card, because, apparently, it doesn't expect anybody would want to use it when there is a _real_ sound card. This is common with BIOSes for VIA chipsets. The Linux kernel has code to forcibly enable the AC'97 controller on VT8237-based mainboards. In the case of older mainboards like yours, which sometimes didn't have audio, this cannot be done automatically. Also check that Sound Blaster emulation is disabled. but does not appear in the lspci output. Please show the lspci output. I was also surprised to find that Asus supplies drivers that support RedHat 6.2. This is no surprise if you consider that RH 6.2 comes with kernel 2.2.14, which didn't yet have ALSA. I strongly suggest you forget those drivers and use the snd-via82xx driver of your distribution, which is likely to be newer by about eight years or so.
