PostPosted: Sat May 14, 2016 6:56 am    Post subject: Nvidia hdmi audio not working Reply with quote

I have a nvidia gt430 graphics card, I know it supports sound as it is working under windows.

Aplay -l doesn't list nvidia as an option anymore after I added support for hdmi/displayport audio for the snd-hda-intel module (not that it worked before, but at least it was listed).
Code:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 1: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC662 rev1 Analog [ALC662 rev1 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC662 rev1 Digital [ALC662 rev1 Digital]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0


Here what's listed for card 2.
Code:

ls /proc/asound/card2
codec#0  codec#1  codec#2  codec#3  eld#0.0  eld#1.0  eld#2.0  eld#3.0  pcm3p  pcm7p


Here is my ~/.asoundrc for the moment, though it seems the first step would be to get it recognized when running aplay -l
Code:

pcm.!spdif {
     type hw
     card 2
     device 3
}

pcm.!default {
     type plug
     slave {
           pcm "spdif"
     }
}


Here is the kernel selection
Code:

This step seems getting a bit ahead considering it isn't even listed under aplay -l, but here it is for the heck of it.
Code:

cat /proc/asound/card2/eld*
monitor_present         0
eld_valid               0
monitor_present         0
eld_valid               0
monitor_present         0
eld_valid               0
monitor_present         0
eld_valid               0


Alsamixer shows 4 s/pdif streams that I can unmute under sound card 2, nvidia.

I've tried speaker-test -c2 -r 48000 hw:2.3 (and 2.1,2.5.2.7,2.9) to no avail.

I've tried setting the hdmi display as the primary monitor.

If you think of anything else to include please let me know.

How does one normally setup hdmi audio with snd-hda-intel and a nvidia card? This has got me stumped for a while now, any help would be appreciated.

I know it sounds dumb, but are the modules loaded?
Does sound work on your on-board intel stuff?
Also, take a look at this if you haven't already: http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-hda-intel
Particularly, did you emerge sys-firmware/alsa-firmware?

To many hdmi devices when 2 are missing??
and this
Consider building the kernel with CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS=y are already compiled in to kernel.

My lsmod
Code:
lsmod | grep snd
snd_hda_codec_hdmi     36187  3
snd_hda_codec_realtek    54362  1
snd_hda_codec_generic    54118  2 snd_hda_codec_realtek
snd_hda_intel          20595  4
snd_hda_codec          84353  4 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_intel
snd_hwdep               5866  1 snd_hda_codec
snd_hda_core           35113  5 snd_hda_codec_realtek,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel
snd_pcm                76796  4 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_core
snd_timer              18973  1 snd_pcm
snd                    54452  15 snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_pcm,snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel
soundcore               5155  1 snd


I have tested to compile in snd-hda-intel to the kernel,problem still there.
And now i have compiled it with modules instead but the problem still there.
I have always compiled in intel-hd in to the kernel before and always have sound.

I have sound thrue spdif for now and i have sound in my applications like kodi,chromium,vlc.

I got it working by including CONFIG_SND_DYNAMIC_MINORS into the kernel, located here

<*> Sequencer support
<*> Sequencer dummy client
<*> OSS Mixer API
<*> OSS PCM (digital audio) API
[*] OSS PCM (digital audio) API - Include plugin system
[*] OSS Sequencer API
<*> HR-timer backend support
[*] Use HR-timer as default sequencer timer
[*] Dynamic device file minor numbers
(32) Max number of sound cards
[ ] Support old ALSA API
[*] Verbose procfs contents
[ ] Verbose printk
[ ] Debug
[*] Generic sound devices --->
[*] PCI sound devices --->
HD-Audio --->
[*] SPI sound devices ----
[*] USB sound devices --->
[*] PCMCIA sound devices --->
< > ALSA for SoC audio support ----

Look at my original post for the "HD-Audio" portion.

If "Dynamic device file numbers" really is checked fhede look at your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf, specifically that...
options snd cards_limit=4 --- this is in there and set to a reasonable number
options snd_hda_intel model=auto --- try adding this line too.

speaker-test -C2 -r 48000 hw:2,X is useful to test, make sure your sound on the tv is up a bit to hear. Personally I use audacious as that tends to give more helpful hints.

Try cat /proc/asound/cardX/eld* to see if you are getting eld information.

Disclaimer: the following link may be outdated, as I'm not sure nvidia-settings has the "Acquire EDID" option anymore, but here it is anyway to give some help on generating EDID info should it come to that. http://analogbit.com/2010/02/09/fixing-linux-hdmi-audio-with-edid-modification/

Thank you, this helped solve the problem for me as well.

Code:
snd_hda_codec_hdmi hdaudioC1D3: HDMI: invalid ELD data byte 28


Do u have it also ? its 4.3 kernel but I always was getting it in 4.x
