Hi everyone,
I look everywhere and i don't find any answer to my problem....
I don't have any sound on HDMI with my system, i found a lot of answer for other system but not on mine...
I have a Zotac Zbox ID61 (Intel HM65 Express chipset).
I try with the xbmcbuntu-11.0.iso
What can i do ?? Let me know if you need some log.
Thanks !
I continue my investigation.
When i made a "aplay -l", this is what i got :
Code:
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 1: ALC892 Digital [ALC892 Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Does it mean i cannot have hdmi sound ?
Look in your BIOS to see if there is an option to enable sound over HDMI. It may not use the term HDMI at all (mine looks like "Int + Ext"), so look thoroughly.
Also post the output of:
Code:
$ lspci | grep -i audio
I already look almost everywhere in the bios, and nothing looks like a setting for the hdmi.
The command you give me return :
Code:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05)
I don't know if it's help...
BTW I try with openelec and i have the same result....
Can you post the output of
Code:
sudo dmesg | grep HDMI
Try disabling your onboard sound and see if alsa starts picking up the HDMI device.
Boosted :
"sudo dmesg | grep HDMI" return nothing
Plaguester :
I wish i could, but no option in the BIOS for that, i didn't open the box, but i don't think i can do it from hardware side also.
I think i found something.
I found a Azalia setting in the BIOS. I actived it and now when i type aplay -l i have :
Code:
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 1: ALC892 Digital [ALC892 Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 8: HDMI 2 [HDMI 2]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Looks better ;-)
I try to create a asound.conf like they said on this tuto :
http://wiki.openelec.tv/index.php?title=..._menusound but nothing, still no sound....
OK solved !!!
This is what i put in the asound.conf file :
Code:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hw:0,8"
}
}
Then I change the settings in System - Audio output to :
Code:
Audio output = HDMI
Speaker configuration = 5.1
Audio output device = Custom
Custom audio device = plughw:0,8
Passthrough output device = Custom
Custom passthrough device = plughw:0,8
But remember to put the setting Azalia in the BIOS on "Enable"
Thanks for your help everyone !!
Cochise
Thank you! I have been trying to get ID61 Plus to have sound, and your settings Cochise worked!
I have to admit I don't understand why. You use the device 8 with hdmi 0, but your aplay -l results don't show that as a option. It looks like device 8 is hdmi 2, so shouldn't it work with hw:2,8 ?
Oh well, it works.
Have you had any issues with 1080P playback via mkv files? What about playing 3D movies via mkv files?
Thanks!
