This issue also affects me on my kodi media centre. It's not a NUC, but rather a custom build PC with an ASUS P8H77-M motherboard and an intel core i3-3225. Would greatly like to upgrade from 14.04 but without HDMI sound when streaming video in a browser, that's not possible.
Had found similar workaround - in my case running speaker-test in an xterm while opening the browser tab from which to play video, and not stopping speaker-test until the video is playing. A major hassle that's not acceptable to the rest of the family. This appears to be kernel related as it breaks similarly under 14.04 if I install a newer kernel - however, have not identified the kernel version where HDMI sound broke. (Obviously HDMI sound is not fully broken since the workaround makes it work, but more like something is no longer being initialized correctly). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1643122 Title: Ubuntu 16.04 No Sound From Web Videos on HDMI To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1643122/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
