Hat-tip to the always awesome Arch wiki for this information. -T.C. T.C. Thanks for the advice. I added the radeon.audio=1 to the kernel command line, but the hdmi still does not function. I tried to add the command to ./grub/menu.lst but looks like that file is not present in F16. I took a look at my install logs and found the following : Dec 31 12:45:59 Re02 kernel: [1.907760] [drm] Radeon display connector VGA-1: No monitor connected or invalid EDID Dec 31 12:45:59 Re02 kernel: [1.959789] [drm] Radeon display connector LVDS-1: Found valid EDID Dec 31 12:45:59 Re02 kernel: [2.065434] [drm] Radeon display connector HDMI-A-1: Found valid EDID Dec 31 12:45:59 Re02 kernel: [2.065514] [drm] radeon: power management initialized Dec 31 12:45:59 Re02 kernel: [3.199259] fbcon: radeondrmfb (fb0) is primary device Dec 31 12:45:59 Re02 kernel: [3.246416] Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 170x48 Dec 31 12:45:59 Re02 kernel: [3.258411] fb0: radeondrmfb frame buffer device Dec 31 12:45:59 Re02 kernel: [3.258416] drm: registered panic notifier3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64 Dec 31 12:45:59 Re02 kernel: [3.258441] [drm] Initialized radeon 2.11.0 20080528 for :01:05.0 on minor 0 The kernel is this machine is : 3.1.6-1.fc16.x86_64 It looks to me like this kernel is recognizing the hdmi interface, but hdmi sound is still not working.

It uses a slightly different confiugration file, located in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. [snipped logs] It looks to me like this kernel is recognizing the hdmi interface, but hdmi sound is still not working. That mainly refers to the video portion of the signal. I'm assuming that works, given you didn't ask about that first. ;-) While booted with radeon.audio=1 set, please run pacmd info and post the output. That dumps PulseAudio's state and may provide clues as to why your HDMI audio is not working. Thanks again for your help!!! No problem. :-) -T.C. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
