hdmi

(Ubuntu 12.04 x64)

After looking at other questions (here and other sites) and trying their respective answers, I am still unable to get the hdmi audio out working.

I have downloaded the recommended hardware drivers for my card (radeon hd 4350), made sure that the card is not muted in alsamixer, and set it as the correct output device in sound settings.

I have also disabled the onboard sound devices in the bios menu. In aplay -l, it shows my hdmi card as hw:0,3

Even after doing sound tests I still cannot hear anything. Any suggestions? Not sure where to go from here, I am fairly new to linux.

I have seen in some version of Ubuntu that instead of making a huge change to update to the latest kernel, they take some of the good stuff out of it, for the sake of stability and put it on a previous version. In this case, kernel 3.3 has seen some very good power management enhancements that are… >>> More
