HDMI Sound Stops Working

- by stueng

When not used for a few hours the sound stops working on my HTPC. To get sound to work again I have to unplug the HDMI cable and plug it back in again When this sound "outage" occurs, the HDMI device dissapears from the sound config output devices I see the following in dmesg [78534.010328] HDMI hot plug event: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=0 ELD_Valid=0 [78534.010363] HDMI status: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=0 ELD_Valid=0 [78558.948403] HDMI hot plug event: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=1 ELD_Valid=1 [78558.948429] HDMI status: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=0 ELD_Valid=0 [78562.579047] HDMI hot plug event: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=1 ELD_Valid=0 [78562.579078] HDMI status: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=1 ELD_Valid=1 [78562.579992] HDMI hot plug event: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=0 ELD_Valid=1 [78562.580043] HDMI status: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=1 ELD_Valid=1 [78562.876030] HDMI status: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=1 ELD_Valid=1 [78563.176036] HDMI status: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=1 ELD_Valid=1 [78563.195139] HDMI hot plug event: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=0 ELD_Valid=0 [78563.195169] HDMI status: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=0 ELD_Valid=0 [78563.476030] HDMI status: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=0 ELD_Valid=0 [78635.529493] HDMI hot plug event: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=1 ELD_Valid=1 [78635.529524] HDMI status: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=0 ELD_Valid=0 [78641.330701] HDMI hot plug event: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=1 ELD_Valid=0 [78641.330733] HDMI status: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=1 ELD_Valid=1 [78641.331649] HDMI hot plug event: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=0 ELD_Valid=1 [78641.331668] HDMI status: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=1 ELD_Valid=1 [78641.628050] HDMI status: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=1 ELD_Valid=1 [78641.928037] HDMI status: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=1 ELD_Valid=1 [78642.228042] HDMI status: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=1 ELD_Valid=1 [78642.528039] HDMI status: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=1 ELD_Valid=1 [78642.828037] HDMI status: Codec=0 Pin=3 Presence_Detect=1 ELD_Valid=1

Possible to migrate from non-RAID to RAID 1 and then RAID 5?

- by stueng

Using software RAID only Is it possible to start with a 2TB disk full of data and safely add it to a RAID 1 array? Is it then possible to add a third disk and migrate the RAID 1 array into a RAID 5 array? OR Is it possible to start with a 2 disk degraded RAID 5 array and then add the third disk later to create a health RAID 5 array? Backstory: I wish to migrate from a 2 disk NAS (RAID 1) to a 3 disk NAS and only purchase one new disk in doing so

Can I create a hybrid software-RAID array with disks of different sizes?

- by stueng

Products such as Synology offer something called Synology Hybrid RAID http://www.synology.com/us/products/features/RAID.php This RAID type allows you to make best use of your disks available by using all the disk space available as long as at least two disks share the same increased size where a typical RAID setup would simply "throw away" the extra space I would like to build a NAS with 4 disks available. I will begin by populating it with 3 X 3TB to give me 6TB usable. By the time I have filled this 6TB I imagine that 4TB disks will have come down in price, so at this stage I would add a 4th 4TB disk to give me an additional 3TB of space. When I next run out of space I will change one of the original 3TB disks with a 4TB disk giving me an additional 1TB of space. This is not possible with a typical RAID configuration, only with these "hybrid RAID" types I am wondering if I can acheive a similar "hybrid RAID" with Ubuntu? or another linux distro?
