Hello, I hate to add to the wealth of info already on the net. About sound problems with ATI, HDMI video cards... I have googled this to death and racked my brain ten ways to Sunday. I'm sure it's my fault. Overlooking something or forgetting to install this or that. So please bare with me... I just need a fresh pair of eyes. And someone to hold my hand... This is a clean and fresh stage 3 with kde, system and world are updated. Kde is at 4.80. I thought that would help kmix detect my hdmi sound(no luck). And if anyone needs any system info... Just ask... Like I said, I don't want to litter this forums with extra commands and outputs... Oh and BTW..... Names Russ... Nice to meet ya... I have been using Linux for about ten years...

You left out a veeeeery important piece of info: driver.

If you're using the open driver, you need kernel 3.3. If you're using the closed driver, no idea.

Thanks, for the reply.... I am using kernel 3.2.1-r2. I have tried emerge ati-drivers and the one from the ATI website... What has me so cornfused... Is that sound has always work... I just had a Gentoo Gnome 3.2 install and sound work. Switched to Kde with a clean install. On the account of Gnome 3 ati glitch bug... Russ

Recently I tested headphones for sound on the web and thur amarok. All sound worked even the kde login sounds. But the montior only plays the kde login sound. Nor amarok or browser plays thur the montior.. Kind of odd, but getting closer...Russ

I now have sound in the browser with HDMI. That I found on here with creating an /etc/asound.conf. So I am getting closer. Wish my monitor came with an air bag..lol I'm tired of banging my head..
With asound.conf file. I now have no sound in amarok or the kde login chime.

deactivate your soundcard in bios and try again.i have quite the same as you:

mybox hedmo # aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]

card 1: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

and as i understand,alsa dont like ati R6xx hdmi as a default soundcard (run alsaconf to see if you can set the card as default)
i had to deactivate my [HDA ATI SB] or use pulseaudio to get my ati R6xx hdmi to be default

regards hedmo

Thank you so much sir....
<SOLVED> ...... Installed pulse audio from the wiki. Disabled on board audio in bios. Then pulse detected HDMI pci-card. Now sound works all around (ie flash, amarok/kde, etc.)......... Thank you again!!!!!.... Russ

Worked for me without deactivating the sound in the BIOS. Simply add the pulseaudio USE flag to /etc/make.conf, "emerge -NuD world", "emerge alsa-plugins", reboot. (Running KDE and Radeon HD 6870)

On my Apple Mac Pro early 2006 I forgot to set

Code: Select all

CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_HDMI=y

Even after using Gentoo since 2005, the error is still of the PEBCAK type...

Gentoo is still going strong and is a reliable OS X replacement for older Apple hardware for which the vendor dropped support (older than 10 years) and no longer releases security updates.
