Hi, I have a pretty old laptop — ASUS A7U, and it has the following ATI hardware:
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] 01:05.2 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Radeon X1200 Series Audio Controller The problem is, that I cannot hear any sound when using HDMI audio, though I can see the device. My system is up-to-date ArchLinux. I've tried everything found on in the internet, including: - added radeon.audio=1 to the kernel boot line - tried searching for HDMI settings in BIOS, but did not find any - installing 3.3 kernel I can see the HDMI device both in Pulseaudio GUI and in aplay/alsamixer. Here is my aplay -l output **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC660-VD Analog [ALC660-VD Analog] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 1: ALC660-VD Digital [ALC660-VD Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 6: Si3054 Modem [Si3054 Modem] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 This command has no errors, but no sound either: aplay -D plughw:1,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav Here is the output of "dmesg | grep radeon" [ 0.000000] Kernel command line: root=/dev/mapper/FlashVolumes-lvolsystem lvmwait=/dev/mapper/FlashVolumes-lvolsystem ro radeon.audio=1 [ 1.456619] [drm] radeon defaulting to kernel modesetting.

Thanks for any help and answers! _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
