Hey guys, i am getting somewhere with the brand new G210 Nvidia graphic card's hdmi audio device. By default this is not appearing in alsa at all.
I found a way to include these new card in the kernel driver. Now it is appearing as a hdmi device, just like the ones on motherboard.
there is one big difference. There are 4 separate pcm devices not only one. This could be correct as i checked the card in Win7 and there in the device manager it is also 4 devices appearing. It might be that this card has some kid of hardware mixing... That's what i can guess at least.
If anyone has the idea why there are 4 pcm devices instead of one, let me know.
By the way speaker-test runs fine without an error, but no sound is coming yet.
This has to be worked on.
What i did is i added these lines in alsa-driver source /sound/pci/hda/patch_nvhdmi.c file in the right places:
Code:
{ .id = 0x10de000b, .name = "G210 HDMI", .patch = patch_nvhdmi_8ch },
MODULE_ALIAS("snd-hda-codec-id:10de000b");
and in sound/pci/hda/hda_intel.c
Code:
{ PCI_DEVICE(0x10de, 0x0be3), .driver_data = AZX_DRIVER_NVIDIA },
