Nvidia driver problem

[rbyrd1]

When you work with any OS for a while, the obvious tends to slip by. Never hurts to have another set of eyes to catch those omissions occasionally.

thanks a ton guys, i'm running 2.9 64-bit now. hdmi is working as far as display beautiful picture but alas no sound, i will tinker with the setting and see what i get. however i am getting sound through my headphone jack so i can still watch movies and such. but loving it so far. been with Ultimate Edition since 2.5 and not going anywhere

KEEP UP THEGREAT WORK Ultimate Edition TEAM, LOOKING FORWARD TO FUTURE DISTROS!!!

you did this ?

[diablo10000]

yes i did but still no sound on my tv only on headphones,but also keep in mind you're using an ati product whilst i am not, nvidia here

[pclinuxguru]

well ya, concept was the same lol.

Just being captain obvious here is all lol.

I can tell ya that Ultimate Edition 2.9 is NOT the problem, Nvidia drivers is the problem.

Run this and report findings

Code: Select all

wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh -O alsa-info.sh && bash alsa-info.sh

[diablo10000]

yeah unfortunately i understand that aspect, i'll try to bug nvidia and try to nudge them to support linux better they do however have a linux driver, only problem is, my technical understanding of the instructions is very low, i can do hardware, but software and CLI is another story all together

Like I said run that and report the findings.

Also, detailed info about drivers installed and how.

Took me 2 seconds to see the problem lol

00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA)
04:00.1 Audio device: nVidia Corporation Device 0be9 (rev a1)

code for, got no idea what type of device, its just a device.

Seen this before, failed to install as HDMI sound device.

Mine for compare

00:14.2 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc SBx00 Azalia (Intel HDA) (rev 40)
06:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Cypress HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5800 Series]
07:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Cypress HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5800 Series]

Yes yours should have listed as HDMI not a standard sound device. But its listed as a standard sound device not HDMI.
