Hi,
did an auto-upgrade from GF21 to R5.5 and now, there's no sound any more
I use the optical out and have had "ALSA:spdif" as the device in the setup, passtroughs are activated, but there's nothing coming out...
aplay -l
Code: root@mythtv:/home# aplay -l **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC883 Analog [ALC883 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: ALC883 Digital [ALC883 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Every time, i start to play a recording or tv, i get those messages in mythfrontend.log: Code: 2008-07-20 15:01:14.083 TV: Attempting to change from None to WatchingPreRecorded 2008-07-20 15:01:14.290 AFD: Opened codec 0x9d513b0, id(MPEG2VIDEO) type(Video) 2008-07-20 15:01:14.290 AFD: codec MP3 has 2 channels 2008-07-20 15:01:14.290 AFD: Opened codec 0x91e15a0, id(MP3) type(Audio) 2008-07-20 15:01:14.293 AFD: Opened codec 0x83c5520, id(MPEG2VIDEO) type(Video) 2008-07-20 15:01:14.294 Opening audio device 'spdif'. ch 6(2) sr 48000 2008-07-20 15:01:14.294 Opening ALSA audio device 'spdif'. 2008-07-20 15:01:14.295 AudioOutput Error: Channels count (6) not available: Invalid argument 2008-07-20 15:01:14.295 AudioOutput Error: Unable to set ALSA parameters 2008-07-20 15:01:14.297 NVP: Disabling Audio, reason is: Unable to set ALSA parameters
my setup Code: Audio output device: ALSA:spdif
Passthrough output device: Default
Max Audio Channels: 5.1 Upmix: Passive
x Enable AC3 to SPDIF passthrough o Aggressive Sound card Buffering x Enable DTS to SPDIF passthrough o Use internal volume controls
Any idea?
Thanks!!

Quote: laceration February 3rd, 2008, 04:45 PM I just built a new Ubuntu machine. The sound did not work. I searched these forums, the solutions gave me a headache. Isn't Ubuntu supposed to be easy to configure? I tried the easiest solution first, from the posts from aktiwers, and it really was simple. It took only 3 steps! The hard part was getting through all the verbiage. Here's how I did it( I'm repeating info from aktiwers, only to make it clearer and simpler and in 1 place): What I didn't do: I did not download or recompile the latest ALSA. Why bother? It turns out I didn't need to do that, why hassle with it if you don't have to. Step 1: Applications->Accessories->Terminal. At the prompt paste in: cat /proc/asound/card0/codec#* | grep Codec it'll return something like, Codec: Realtek ALC888 Step 2: Go to http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Document ... ration.txtFind your Codec. There is a list of model name and descriptions for each Codec starting on line number785. Copy the model name you've got. For me it was 6stack-dig. Step 3: Again at the terminal type sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base Provide pw when prompted. Add at the end of file: options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-dig Of course with your model in place of 6stack-dig. Save the file. That's it! Now I even have digital sound coming through the spdif:guitar:
I found this on http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-658902.html and it looks like this could help... I'll try it and report...

To get rid of all the "Unknown Devices" in your smolt, run (as root)
Code: /usr/bin/update-pciids and resubmit your smolt. For "Audio Output Device" you can try: Code: ALSA:hw:0,1 or Code: ALSA:plughw:0,1 or Code: ALSA:default I do not have the same hardware as you, but my working config looks like this: Code: Audio output device: ALSA:spdif
Passthrough output device: ALSA:iec958:{ AES0 0x02 }
Max Audio Channels: Stereo Upmix: ???
x Enable AC3 to SPDIF passthrough o Aggressive Sound card Buffering x Enable DTS to SPDIF passthrough o Use internal volume controls
I forget what Upmix setting I have, but it is not Passive. You can try to fiddle with that too.
[EDIT] Going back and reading your OP, my guess is that you should change Max Audio Channels to "Stereo". Your log file was complaining about 6 channel (5.1) audio, so I'm guessing that could be the problem.[/EDIT}

Those audio output devices didn't word, too... And I could not understand, why I should try Stereo instead of 5.1 => I use 5.1 with my receiver, i have a complete Dolby Digital 5.1 system attached. I tried stereo, but it didn't help...
I think, I'll try ALSA 1.0.17 the next days... Maybe there's a fault in ALSA itself...
