Description Ben Booth 2012-01-28 10:51:36 UTC

I'm running ArchLinux with the latest PulseAudio and Alsa from git. I have a Nvidia GTX550ti card with HDMI output. I would like to be about to output HDMI audio to my Samsung TV. Right now, I'm having trouble getting any audio output over HDMI using PulseAudio.

The hdmi audio is on device hw1,7. Currently I have a file /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf with the following:

options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=-1,0x2

I have been able to get HDMI output to the TV working through ALSA using speaker-test and VLC. I have been able to get audio through PulseAudio for about 1 second by turning the configuration profile on and off for the HDA Nvidia device in pavucontrol. But after one second or so, the sound cuts out. I attached the pulseaudio log output and the output of pactl list sinks.

I have tried adding the "load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:1,7" line to /etc/pulse/default.pa, but it didn't help. 

Thanks.

We probe more devices in PA git so hopefully the next version should solve this problem for you.

If you're up to it, you can try latest git. If not, what distribution are you using?

I'm using ArchLinux. I tried the latest pulseaudio from git and my HDMI audio now works! Thank you!
