Hi Raymond,
1) Where is it exactly that you suggest that I
"specify radeon.audio=1" ?
2) If I follow your reasoning now, you ARE
supposing that the existence of, and "Jack Detection" of HDMI connection
by Pulse Audio ( a subprogram of the Alsa Driver -- yes?) , has become
the focus of your suspicions ? So....
either i) Jack Detection is not enabled or
configured correctly
or ii) it is set up O.K. , but there is an
additional reason ?
3) I have read the "Etiquette" guidance, so I am
specifically not saying that if these two unique (sic) but apparently
identical bugs have come to live in my two separate machines, using what
I consider to be "middle of the road hardware, necessarily implies that
there is a generic System Fault in every Ubuntu release since 12.04
(clearly impossible !), but what I am saying is that since they also
appear straight "out of the box", without the possibility of what the
technical advice suggests are reasonably common glitches in the update
process itself, that that that is how they appear !
4) These same two bugs (or of course, two separate
and unique others) also give the appearance of producing another effect,
which were it in any way widespread is so catastrophic that it would be
more than impossible to ignore. Let me refine my History.
When I say that I was able to get HDMI sound using
Ubuntu 12.04, what I mean is NOT simply that Ubuntu produced it
entirely without fuss.
12.04 incorporated a program to install Additional
(third party) Drivers, which gave a little icon with a drop-down prompt
to install an ATI Video driver if I wished; and it was this driver that
gave me the sound option I needed.
In subsequent release versions "Additional
Drivers" is not bundled, but a separate item that I had to download from
the Ubuntu Software Centre.
HOWEVER upon installing _these_ __recommended
AMD(Ati) drivers they simply and immediately crashed my entire systems
in a manner that I found immune to "Recovery" measures.
5) What I would obviously like therefore, would
be to get my Ubuntu to run it's own driver (which it politely informs
me, having crashed my system, something it would itself have "recommended".
I would prefer to leave the problem of
self-detonating third-party drivers to another occasion,but include it
here for any light it might throw on the nature of my bugs, which I am
beginning to find fascinating, but which prevent me from playing my music.
