my graphic card (xfx hd5450) inserted in PCIe slot of motherboard has an HDMI port which is connected to LCD TV . What shoulf
I do so that sound comes from my TV ?
In ubuntu 12.04 I had to add option 'radeon.audio=1' to kernel .
-
Are you using alsa for sound?
Does alsamixer show the hdmi sound output?
-
what he said,
and only if you can't see HDMI in the alsamixer settings for index=0 or pressing F6
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:alsa_part2#alsamixer
then have a peek at my suggested .asoundrc section
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:setting_up_sound#hdmi_or_asoundrc_users
good luck
PS common issues, sound output is muted or volumes too low
---but for HDMI users, especially, toggling on or off the SPDF setting seems to do wonders
-
BTW , I am using OSS .
I will try to post detailed output of ossxmix soon.
-
There is only ALSA support for the radeon HDMI soundcard.
-
initially I installed OSS.tcz . ossmix output shows no mention of word 'hdmi' anywhere .
$ossmix

Then I installed OSS_alsa.tcz.
Now aplay -l says
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
alsamixer shows chip 'ati r6xx hdmi' with just one control s/pdif that I can just mute (using 'm') up-down-arrow does nothing. Please see 1.png.
Then I created ~/.asoundrc
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 3
}
ctl.card0 {
type hw
card 0
device 3
}
Also installed alsaplayer.tcz alsamixergui.tcz. Exited to prompt & logged in again.
Tried to play mp3 file using it . A 3minute21second mp3 gets over in 8 seconds though speed & volume is shown 100% in alsaplayergui. Yet , no sound from my TV.
Simply running alsamixergui says
ctl_oss: MIXER_CAPS error: Invalid argument
ctl_oss: MIXER_CAPS error: Invalid argument
No mixer elems found
So , I ran 'alsamiser -c 0' & got 3.png (see attached)
CASE 2
This time I started with alsa.tcz installed (fresh boot & I kept OSS out of sight)
aplay -l says
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****

card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
I created .asoundrc with card 1 device 3 in both pcm & control sections (should I write ctl.card1 ?).
This time also mp3 file gets played quickly without sound emanating from TV.
I got this message in prompt
hda-intel:IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #1.Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj.
-
good questions lets go to the beginning and move forward
1) as curaga says, HDMI and alsa for you so we dismiss your time you spent with oss sorry
2) your question on asoundrc, yes let me explain it hopefully? New setting
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
device 3
}
ctl.card1 {
type hw
card 1
device 3
}
the top section tells alsa what our default card and device is
the bottom section tells the control of card one, what device to control
3) I was tempted to recommend a index=1 setting for you, but I will reserve that in case we can get it to work correctly without that
but can you show the results to this command pls
lspci | grep AudioI don't like seeing generic ---its harder to google for your position fix below
4) hda-intel:IRQ timing workaround is activated for card #1.Suggest a bigger bdl_pos_adj.
That is done thru a blacklist with a modprobe (with) options setting as per
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:setting_up_sound#reasons_for_changing
see that " bdl_pos_adj:BDL position adjustment offset"
but I don't have your hw, so would have to google for a setting that might work
the link is not your hw, but gives you an idea.....to do much later when you fix up your .asoundrc
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/1181721

Tried
pcm.!default {
type hw
card 1
device 3
}
ctl.card1 {
type hw
card 1
device 3
}
Still mp3 file gets quickly played without emission of sound

mp3 file gets quickly played
not a good sign if you knew from other distros what the progress speed should be.
Have you got a wav file on your computer?
if not, with alsa loaded play the loop wav, when you sick of it
or it works press control key + the c key to stop
speaker-test -c2 -t wav
That way we avoid any codec or player issues
2) ok now with your new config for ,asoundrc....... you can confirm you have the leading dot ?
3) if still no sound run alsamixer
if it shows card0 as expected, now try muting and unmuting the SPDIF settings using the m key (m for mute)
and report back when you can
good luck

when .asoundrc file is not present then external speaker says 'front left , front right' repeatedly
$ speaker-test -c2 -t wav

and no sound from speaker
Also I notice that in alsamixer master front,front,pcm decides volume of external speaker . Rest all can be muted.
Also see attached screenshot of ubuntu (us.jpg) in which hdmi audio works , if it helps you to identify difference.

oops I think we just played index=0 device.
before we set that as per wiki, I think Ubuntu uses Pulseaudio, give it shot first if you like.

I went through a similar process to try and get sound out of my laptop's HDMI port (also a radeon. HD 5470 or something?) and the results of my research was that there is a kernel patch since merged into newer kernel versions needed. Might you be seeing a similar problem?
-
re pulseaudio log,
what a mess!
what is dbus doing? Is it loaded? Please check what you have done as per pulseaudio info file please.
/usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus status
I have made some comments in the wiki about the correct order and rebooting. It helps to know if you have done
good luck

to althalus ,
I also tried following with latest tiny core iso . Still same problem of mp file playd quickly without HDMI sound.

eek I had an error in my wiki.
I have not looked at any other stuff but the .X.d file is wrong
try
rm -rf .X.d/dbus
echo "dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session" > .X.d/dbus
cat .X.d/dbus
(hopefully you will get)
cat .X.d/dbus
dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session
I have no idea how you got a startx in there, it was not in the wiki.
-
to aus9 ,
Please see attached screenshot from pavucontrol.
BTW , startx was written in pulseaudio.tcz.info

Description: pulseaudio sound server

Tags: pulseaudio sound server audio
Comments: PulseAudio is a sound system for POSIX OSes, meaning that it is a proxy
for sound applications. It allows you to do advanced operations on your
sound data as it passes between your application and your hardware.
Things like transferring the audio to a different machine, changing
the sample format or channel count and mixing several sounds into one
are easily achieved using a sound server
----------
howto:
alsa needs to be working for whatever sound device you have
exit to console
create ~/.X.d/dbus containing:
"dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session"
[glow=red,2,300]startx[/glow]
$ pulseaudio -vv [to test]
create ~/.X.d/pulseaudio containing:
"start-pulseaudio-x11" [once tested]
----------
if a bluetooth sound devices is paired and configured, pulseaudio
should find it automatically if the daemon is running
----------
use pavucontrol to switch source & control volume
----------
qpaeq can be used as an equaliser with the pyqt and dbus-python-2.7 extensions
----------
to add echo cancellation, load webrtc-audio-processing and..
$ pactl load-module module-echo-cancel aec_method=webrtc
----------
This extension contains:
pulseaudio-2.1 - LGPLv2.1 - http://freedesktop.org/software/pulseaudio/releases/pulseaudio-2.1.tar.xz
----------

You said something about wrong index ?
If somebody got hdmi audio working with xfx radeon 5450 graphic card or similiar .
Please provide your valuable suggestion .
Thank you.
-
firstly startx from pulseaudio info file
ahhh, I see. What our maintainer is saying is you are outside X or graphical system and you startx
somehow you added startx to the X.d file
pls confirm your contents are now as per last command for cat .X.d/dbus
2) I like images, I gather you have no sound?
what happens when you run from a terminal
pulseaudio -v
3) index, I did but I think we can get pulseaudio (PA) to play ball.
4) I assume you know that when are playing a sound file those long bars are a sound volume bar
eg playback tab...png ending in 45 is empty while my wiki image shows a snapshot of a moving bar
(http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/_media/wiki:twid_72_pasim.jpg?w=500&h=300)
5) what kind of sound file were you playing?
I don't have hdmi, but if you look at your output tab, you have not clicked for mpeg
-
ahh forgot to mention, for troubleshooting, can you now delete your .asoundrc file pls.
and reboot please.We want everything to be controlled by the configs for PA

please see attached screenshot , log of tiny core & ubuntu.

Tinycore 4.x is using kernel version 3.0.21. According to the footnote on the link below, you need at least version 3.3. (This is for xf86-video-ati, not catalyst. I never had any luck with the catalyst driver either, though)
http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature/
Your chip turns out to be in the same line as me, so if you manage to find something I couldn't before TC5 is officially released, I'd very much be interested in how you did it!
-
I am ready to try any unstable , beta , testing release of tiny core that has an advanced kernel.
-
Tinycore 6.0 Alpha has kernel 3.8.10.
It is still early alpha, so you may have to wait a bit for drivers and support extensions.
You can give it a try.
-
Tried them , even with radeon.audio=1 kernel parameter.
No success.
I think , alsa is last hope.
