to make the sound work over HDMI with Ubuntu, just do the following:
1) Activate/Install the "Additional drivers" from NVIDIA in the Administration menu -> Additional drivers. Reboot
2) Select the right sound output interface:
- in Sound preferences menu -> Hardware: Select "High Definition Audio Controler" (HDMI).
- in Sound preferences menu -> Output: Select "High Definition Audio Controler" (HDMI).
Hi Romain,
I've been spending quite a bit of time trying to get the Flash video playback to work properly. As the only missing thing I came up with was the NVIDIA drivers I took out to install them manually and I managed to do that.
So I'm now running 260.19.12 version and they work like a charm with nice desktop performance. I also have the 10.1 Flash version, but the playback is still horrible.
But as that was a disappointment I was planning on focusing on something else to get atleast something accomplished during the weekend. My target next is the HDMI sound and I took a look at your instructions and hit the wall with the first step:
I have no 'Additional Drivers' selection in my administration. What I do have however is 'Hardware Drivers'.. I wonder if that's the same thing. When I start that, it runs for a while with a progress bar and afterwards it tells me that 'Proprietary are being used to make this computer work properly' and lists NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver.
In my Sound options there is nothing listed but 'Analog stereo duplex' and same story for output.
I wonder if the 'additional drivers' thing that I don't have is what I'm missing at the moment? Could it be something coming with 10.10?
Thanks in advance!
