Post subject: | [Solved] HDMI - cannot configure ALSA R6 |
I have not been able to figure out how to get ALSA working over hdmi, so I use OSS instead. However, I have to go into Linhes Config/Audio settings every time I boot and then press test audio (I get "Front, Center" spoken in a female voice) otherwise I have no audio. I have an Asus M4A78-EM which has onboard audio http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=0KyowHKUFAQqH2DO Sound over OSS is obtained with the setting spdifout, dsp7. Can anyone suggest either the correct settings to get audio over hdmi for R6 or alternatively a solution to me losing sound with OSS every time I shutdown? [Edit] Solved - see posts below. |

Can anyone help? Should I assume the loss of OSS sound every startup is a bug? |

it might be a bug. Does typing soundon fix the problem between reboots? |

Does typing soundon fix the problem between reboots? Do you mean in the terminal? |

Yes open a terminal, and run soundon as root, or sudo soundon |

OK, I did that - get msg that OSS already loaded. Still have to check sound under audio settings to get sound. Tks anyway. |

I also had trouble getting HDMI working ALSA in R6. I ended up setting MythVantage to "Tinker" and setup ALSA manually. Take a look at this response for a clue as to how to get started. http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=20006#122369 I now have HDMI working with ALSA. If you are still having trouble, let me know and I can post a more detailed step-by-step install. I'll need to pull out my notes to do that. |

No such file or directory I used pacman to make sure I had alsa installed. I rebooted. I think ALSA may be beyond me and I might be better off finding a way of getting OSS to work after reboot (without a sound test). |

Can't recall the sub-sub-menus though (probably sound), but you can choose alsa from there and I believe it will run the appropriate commands to install it for you. Mike |

Try turning on ALSA from the service menu Service Menu -> LinHES Configuration -> Audio Settings This may install ALSA for you. (Like Mike suggests) I have had ALSA available on both my LinHES machines. After you let MythVantage configure ALSA you can then try and change the audio settings over to "Tinker". I never tried to get OSS to run. It may be that configuring a system for OSS will uninstall ALSA. I don't really know. I do have HDMI working with LinHES and I can break down the commands for you if you get ALSA installed Good luck! |

I'll need to pull out my notes to do that. Some GOOD NEWS! Following your instructions, step-by-step I now have ALSA working over hdmi for everything except TV. Why TV doesn't work I don't know (DVB-Australia). It worked fine with OSS. I checked alsamixer and couldn't see anything obviously TV related. I also checked the backend to see if there was something there that needed to be tweaked. So definitely some progress. Just need sound over TV. Many thanks for your help. |

Have you told mythtv frontend to use alsa? Settings -> General (I think) Mike |

Settings -> General (I think) Mike Yes, I had the frontend set to ALSA:default - but your question got me thinking. So I just tried ALSA:hdmi which resulted in the fast squeaky sound I recognised as an AC3 passthrough problem. So once I de-selected ac3 and dts passthrough, my settings were just ALSA:hdmi, default passthrough and passive upmix. Voila! Sound with DTV. (Pause for victory dance ) Now, if I can just get that Harmony remote working I can finally get "she who must be obeyed" using the R6 system. http://knoppmyth.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=20282 Special thanks to manicmike and mark60050 |

Post subject: | Now myth music? |
I followed all your steps and sound works over HDMI for all my videos, but doesn't work at all in mythmusic... I imagine that it is because that is using the internal player but I have no idea how to get work with this? Thanks in advance for any help. Cheers |
