You will need to compile the Intel/Nvidia HD audio driver in the kernel:
| Code: | │ Location: │
│ -> Device Drivers │
│ -> Sound card support (SOUND [=y]) │
│ -> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (SND [=y]) │
│ -> PCI sound devices (SND_PCI [=y]) │
│ -> Intel HD Audio (SND_HDA_INTEL [=y]) │ |

First, issue this command:
| Code: | | aplay --list-devices|grep -i HDMI |
which will display something like this:
| Code: | card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
|
what you see goes into /etc/asound.conf:
| Code: | pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 3
}
ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 3
}
|
That is if you want it to be systemwide ALSA out device.

after I type | Code: | | aplay --list-devices|grep -i HDMI |
, there is nothing.And in pulse audio is Digital Stereo Duplex. Is this what I want ? Or I forget add something to my kernel ? |

If there's nothing you did not enable correct driver under Intel HD Audio, below is mine
| Code: | --- Intel HD Audio
[ ] Build hwdep interface for HD-audio driver
[ ] Support digital beep via input layer
[ ] Support jack plugging notification via input layer
[ ] Support initialization patch loading for HD-audio
[*] Build Realtek HD-audio codec support
[ ] Build Analog Device HD-audio codec support
[ ] Build IDT/Sigmatel HD-audio codec support
[ ] Build VIA HD-audio codec support
[*] Build HDMI/DisplayPort HD-audio codec support
[ ] Build Cirrus Logic codec support
[ ] Build Conexant HD-audio codec support
[ ] Build Creative CA0110-IBG codec support
[ ] Build C-Media HD-audio codec support
[ ] Build Silicon Labs 3054 HD-modem codec support
[ ] Enable generic HD-audio codec parser
[ ] Aggressive power-saving on HD-audio
|
Use to find out what chip you have.

my kernel
| Code: | --- Intel HD Audio
-*- Build hwdep interface for HD-audio driver
-*- Allow dynamic codec reconfiguration (EXPERIMENTAL)
[*] Support digital beep via input layer
(1) Digital beep registration mode (0=off, 1=on, 2=mute sw on
[*] Support jack plugging notification via input layer
[*] Support initialization patch loading for HD-audio
[*] Build Realtek HD-audio codec support
[*] Build Analog Device HD-audio codec support
[*] Build IDT/Sigmatel HD-audio codec support
[*] Build VIA HD-audio codec support
[*] Build HDMI/DisplayPort HD-audio codec support
[*] Build Cirrus Logic codec support
[*] Build Conexant HD-audio codec support

[*] Build C-Media HD-audio codec support
[*] Build Silicon Labs 3054 HD-modem codec support
[*] Enable generic HD-audio codec parser
[ ] Aggressive power-saving on HD-audio |
and shows this:
| Code: | **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC889A Analog [ALC889A Analog]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 1: ALC889A Digital [ALC889A Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 |
But nVidia is nowhere. |

I made this kernel yesterday.
When is the one that installs when in make.conf is VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" , so yes.
Btw. My hdmi is via my receiver. Its connected PC > Receiver > Monitor, and speakers is from receiver. But idk why it doesn't shows nVidia HDMI.
I can install windows on other hard drive, and when it will works, card is ok.
EDIT: Wait a second. I go to read arch forum.. |

I tried alsaconf but it says "No supported PnP or PCI card found"
and uname -v shows actual kernel :/ |

Well, HDMI module is not loaded. Why ... I don't know. Are you sure this device is not disabled in hardware, have you examined your dmesg for errors?
I did some more google and it seems this card is giving headaches to Windows users, too.
If I had such a problem I'd go to ALSA and nVidia forums for help.

Check and make sure that it is even being found on the PCI bus.
Look for a device that reads something similar to:
| Code: | Audio device: nVidia Corporation Device {device id foo here}
...
...
Kernel Driver is use: HDA Intel
Kernel modules: snd-hda-intel |
If the device is not found in the listing then something is not correct and your system does not even see it. If it is listed, but no kernel driver is listed for the device, then something is not set correctly with the kernel driver.
Also, the Nvidia display driver should have no bearing on the audio portion. They are separate devices.

I have a GT 430 - not sure if it is the same audio chipset, but I guess the config is the same.
You do not need the video driver for audio to work.
The trick is to set a probe mask for ALSA. Following configures two Intel HDA devices - the onboard, and the nVidia HDMI (I even have a 3rd card, ice1712 based, but left it out here)
/etc/modprobe.d/alsa.conf
| Code: | options snd cards_limit=2
options snd slots=snd-hda-intel,snd-hda-intel
# the Nvidia HDMI
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel
# the onboard ATI hda
alias snd-card-1 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-1 snd-hda-intel
options snd-hda-intel index=0,1 model=6stack-dig,auto probe_mask=-1,0x108 |

So. I just have to edit this file ?
Add this lines ?
| Code: | # the Nvidia HDMI
alias snd-card-0 snd-hda-intel
alias sound-slot-0 snd-hda-intel |
and edit cards limit to 2 ? |

The last line is the important one.
You do not need the snd-card/sound-slot lines actually.
Also, my options are for ATI Azalia + GT430 and will most likely not work for you.
For your onboard ALC889 and the GTS 250 the correct one should be:
| Code: | options snd cards_limit=2
options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=0xffff,0xfff2 |
modprobe.d only works when ALSA is compiled as modules. Otherwhise you need to set boot parameters.

ok. I bought a new gtx 460. in alsamixer I can select nvidia as audio device.look:
| Code: | | http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/2528/201109161801171920x1080.png |
but when I do it, there is just this:

I have that on my Nvidia HDMI. I forget the reason why you don't have control over the mixer, but it works.
Does that mean you are getting audio now?
