HDMI audio out showing up as "not connected"

even when it is. I've tried adjusting the cord at both ends and restarting and I get the same grayed out box. Video is making it across the cord and the cord was sending audio as of a few weeks ago.
Help, please.
I should have bought a Dell again.

Radeon HDMI audio out defaults to disabled

A quirk that I've been noticing on my system for a while now is that playing audio via the HDMI cable on my Radeon 5450 doesn't work just after my system has booted (i.e. on the tty console, I do startx manually). Alsamixer doesn't show the output as being muted, and application that play sound (such as aplay /dev/urandom) don't throw an error, but nothing is heard from my monitor's speakers.
Now, if I run startx and try playing audio in an xterm, it starts working. It continues to work if I quit my X session, up until I reboot my system. I've tried weston as well, because that does DRI modesetting like Xorg does, but sound refuses to work if I run that; no matter what I do, no sound can be heard from the monitor speakers until Xorg has run at least once.
I figured it must be something that specifically Xorg does when it detects HDMI outputs as it starts up. This would seem to be supported by the fact that it's possible to mute the audio out for a HDMI output connector via an xrandr command, like so:
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --set audio off
(and likewise with "on" for enabling again).
Another interesting pointer is a control shown by
amixer controls
when ran against the HDMI audio "card", called "HDMI/DP,pcm=3 Jack". The value of this control is "off" when ran before Xorg is started (i.e. no sound), and "on" after Xorg is run (i.e. sound working). This would suggest that the audio "jack" for this output is not detected, despite the fact that there's a HDMI monitor plugged in.
Has anyone else encountered a similar situation with the HDMI audio out on radeon cards? And if so, how did you fix it? Is there a tool somewhere that can do what Xorg seems to do without needing to startx (i.e. NOT xrandr)?
I realize that for most people, audio will only be played after a graphical X session was started anyway (i.e. a music player application), but Xorg won't be the main windowing system forever, and sometimes I like playing music on my console without having to startx (currently using the motherboard's onboard sound until I can fix this), so starting and quitting Xorg just to "unmute" the audio on the HDMI connector seems a long-winded workaround. Plus, it seems quite strange that the kernel can do modesetting on the HDMI display just fine but seems to need a userspace application to tell it when to enable the audio part.
Any pointers, info or docs as to why this is a thing or how to work around it (without Xorg, please ) would be appreciated.
(NB: I've tried looking at the Xorg source code, the result was me getting lost in there with a headache >.< )
Cheers, D^2
EDIT: A bit more poking around:
- Changing the DDX (i.e. to something like xf86-video-modesetting) doesn't affect the sound starting to work after Xorg is run; it would seem this rules out anything weird poking done by xf86-video-ati, so it looks more like the sound enabling does happen at the xrandr level.
- The adformentioned amixer control for jack detection is a read-only property, I can't set it using amixer ("Operation not permitted").

I did what is said here but audio will not work.
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/f16ef16a-2e5c-4725-97e0-9ae1f947c86f ro nomodeset radeon.audio=1
My alsa-info is http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=0eb0e … 26897b908c
Notable is the fact that when running
$ aplay -D plughw:0,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
there is no error but the program finishes instantly, rather than being busy for 1.43 seconds which it usually takes to play back that sound.
speaker-test -D plughw:0,3
also rapidly progresses to the next tests.
alsamixer only has one option: "S/PDIF:ON"
One more info: I also have an on-board sound card, which uses the same module, so I disabled it in BIOS.
I'd be glad to have my audio back.

Just confirming, when you have the trouble, the wifi icon is grayed-out or has all bars showing? I believe you are saying that is is grayed-out - not connected to your wireless router.
I have a Mini that started to lose connection to the Internet after the 10.7.3 update but still showed the wireless as connected. If I pinged the wireless router, I would get a quarter of the packets failing to return. The router was a Netgear that supported 802.11N connections. As a test, I set it to 802.11G (54MBps) maximum and the Mini worked fine for a week - no dropouts. And for the other devices that did support 802.11N, while there was a noticeable delay with downloads and pages loading, they still worked.
As another test, I changed the Netgear router to a Billion 802.11N model and the Mini has not had a problems since. (It is still using 802.11g). So it could be your router that is causing trouble for your Mac.
Have a look at some of the More Like This postings in the right column. There has been a number of Mac owners experiencing wifi connection issues and some very good suggestions as to how to resolve their issue.

iTunes is a program on your computer, it is not "the Internet". The fact that the program runs has no bearing on Internet connectivity.
Maybe if a little more information was supplied, like version of the Operating system on the computer and version of iTunes, then a little more assistance could be provided.

Pulseaudio & tsched=0,random whitenoise since change to HDMI audio out

Hi all
I had a fully working mythtv box with pulseaudio. Some time ago, I remember I had to add tsched=0 to /etc/pulse/default.pa like in the following line
load-module module-udev-detect tsched=0
because I had random white noise when skipping sections in music/video. I used analog out of my Creative Labs SB Live! at the time. Now I have a Nvidia GT 520 with HDMI out, connected it and changed some settings in alsamixer, pavucontrol as well as mythtv in order to have audio out through hdmi to my TV and it worked.
But since then I have again those random white noise issues. I start watching a recording and when I skip for 30sek it might still play normal, but randomly and with very high probability like every third or second time I skip again there is no sound anymore, but a very strong noise blasting out of my TV speakers. It is nearly unbearable, so loud.
So basically it is the same thing I could earlier work around with the tsched=0 parameter, but after searching hours in google I could not find anything better/else than setting this parameter which I already have since very long time.
Does someone have an idea where to start searching for the culprit?
TIA

Ok, so I have had some time to devote to this. Since this was a a new install of Arch I decided to just reinstall again to wipe out anything that I might have added to cause further compication to the solution. I am sure I am missing something obvious as aplay shows the card:

No HDMI audio out option, only Airplay

Hi everyone,
Hoping to get some enlightenment here as I am at my wits end. Here's my setup:
Macbook Pro (mid 2011 era)
Belkin MDP to HDMI converter
Monoprice HDMI cable to Denon AV-1912 receiver
Prior to upgrading to Mavericks and numerous updates to my Apple TV, I was able to plug in to my Denon receiver via HDMI and get display and sound options pop up through System Preferences, no problem. Everything worked beautifully. So there is no issue with my sound card not supporting HDMI.
Now, whenever I try to connect through HDMI, I can only get the display to work. Trying to bypass the internal speakers through the Sound panel in System Preferences yields no results. My Denon receiver only shows up in the Sound Output panel as an Airplay option, not as HDMI. When I select it as Airplay, the receiver automatically switches to the Airplay (Internet Radio) source and kills the display connection it had made with HDMI.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to either:
a) Disable Airplay in my Denon receiver OR more apropos to this forum,
b) Get HDMI restored as an option in my Sound Output preferences.
Any suggestions welcomed!
Thanks,
Jeff

I have the same issue. Setup is:
-- mid-2012 MBP (non-retina) running 10.8.5 (including the very latest supplemental 10.8.5 which was supposed to fix a different issue with an HDMI audio connection not working after a Mac's wakeup from sleep).
-- MBP connected to a Harman Kardon BDS 577 AV receiver's HDMI input (this is a 5.1 receiver, connected to 5.1 speakers).
-- MBP and receiver connected via PNY mini-DP-to-HDMI adapter, which both its Amazon description & review explicitly say supports passthrough audio on Macs, and a high quality AmazonBasics HDMI cable (ditto).
-- The receiver's HDMI output is connected to an Epson EH-TW3200 projector's HDMI input (projector is Euro version of the US Epson 8345; it has no audio whatsoever).
-- The Epson is set to mirror the MBP display, and the MBP's internal display resolution is set to match the Epson's (1080p), which appears as "Epson PJ" in the menubar's Displays pulldown.
1) The issue we're having here is very clearly different from the one with the HDMI connection not working after wakeup (numerous thread about it in Apple Discussions & other forums), since there the HDMI option for sound output device is available (in the Sound Preferences panel, the equiv. menu-bar shortcut and in Audio MIDI Setup and VLC Audio --> Audio Device submenu), but didn't work properly after wakeup.
2) With our issue, when everything is connected but the projector is turned off, sound works fine. I have the option to select HDMI in all the aforementioned locations (the device is called "HDMI TV"), and, when chosen, sound is properly output via the AV receiver according to the source material (5.1 with both DTS and AC3 encodings work fine, as does stereo).
3) As soon as the projector is turned on, video appears fine as expected on the projector, mirroring the MBP's screen, but the HDMI option disappears from all above lists of sound output devices. If I was in the middle of a movie on VLC, audio switches to the builtin speakers on the MBP.
4) Trying to trick the sytem by defining a new audio aggregate device in Audio MIDI Setup when the projector is off, having it include the HDMI device, and then trying to choose it when the projector is on doesn't work -- the aggregate device is grayed out and can't be chosen.
5) TjoffenF's solution above doesn't help me: For me VLC behaves exactly like the rest of the system, so using it doesn't help. I tried several versions of VLC, including old (1.1.2) & new (2.0.9, 2.1.4).
6) Jackmo69's solution doesn't work for me either: The order the various components are switched on and/or connected doesn't matter. As soon as the projector is on, HDMI audio option simply disappears and the MBP stops using the HDMI port for audio.
7) Generally, this seems to be a problem with something called EDID. This is the protocol which HDMI and DVI devices use to tell each other about their capabilities (resolution, audio supported, etc.). Somehow the Mac thinks the HDMI device it is attached to has no audio at all, so it falls back to its internal speakers. I initially thought the problem was with my AV receiver -- whether or not the projector is turned on, it should report its own EDID, not the projector's, so I shouldn't have seen the "Epson PJ" option, right?
8) I contacted the local tech support for Harman Kardon. They hadn't heard of an issue with their receiver, but don't have Macs. From their POV, which sounded reasonable, if the issue occured with a PC laptop, they'd agree that their equipment was the culprit. They lent me a a Windows7 laptop with a builtin HDMI port (Dell Studio 1558) for a week to test.
I performed hours of experiments with it, replacing the MBP with the Dell, all other things in the setup being identical with the exception of the PNY adapter (same AV receiver, same projector, same cables, same VLC version, same source files).
9) The result:
With the Dell, all the source files output audio via HDMI to the receiver with no issues, and turning the projector on or off has no effect on the audio. To me, this proves that the issue is the Mac, probably an HDMI driver issue. AFAIK the PNY & similar adapter are simple mechanical adapters (the actual video signals are identical), so given it transmits audio fine from the MBP (when the projector is off) I don't see how the adapter could be the problem (I don't own a TV, so couldn't test with one).
10) Extensive googling yielded a couple other people with similar problems using various Macs (earlier but still post-2009 MBs and MBPs as well as a Mac mini), projectors and AV receivers. Their solutions were to (a) run TOSLINK audio seperately from the Mac to the receiver (not an option for me, since my receiver accepts TOSLINK only for an audio-only source) or (b) use an EDID emulator device, which spoofs the EDID so the Mac will agree. There was at least one person who had the issue appear after upgrading fromOS X 10.6 to 10.8 (Mac and other components didn't change), which is yet another indication this is a Mac driver issue.
10) I really don't like the idea of EDID emulators; it's a kludgy solution (needs its own power supply and additional HDMI cable), expensive ($100-$150), and not available locally. Reports on them say they don't always work.
11) I'm very much ****** at Apple at this point. The only solution I can see right now is to buy a media streamer with HDMI output, to circumvent the problem -- not an ideal solution, since it means adding a middleman, but cheaper and and more likely to work then an EDID emulator. (Incidentally, an Apple TV wouldn''t work for me as a streamer because it supports very few video codecs & file types -- not that I'd be happy to give Apple more money to fix a problem they're reponsible for.)
If anyone has since found another solution, I'd realy appreciate hearing about it.

No HDMI audio out after Windows 7 Upgrade

I have a DV4-1123US with an Intel Integrated Graphics Card(X4500, I think), and Intel High Definition Audio HDMI. After upgrading to Win7, there is now no longer an option to set HDMI to use as audio. In other words, HDMI no longer shows up in the Audio Devices window. Video works fine. It seems that I am not the only one having this problem, but does anyone have a solution? Is this something that we just have to wait on an updated driver for? I downloaded the most recent video driver from Intel, but Intel for some reason does not recognize my audio driver...

Never mind, problem solved. I have the Intel chipset for video. I went to Intel's website, they have a utility under chipset support to tell you if you have the latest driver. I ran the utility, it told me what I needed, I downloaded it, and after reboot, I have sound through HDMI.

Trouble running DVI video and HDMI audio out of 6950

Twin frozr iii 6950 2gb (X2 crossfire)
Asus VG236 Monitor
Windows 7
MSI P67A-G43 Motherboard
Yamaha RX-V371 Receiver
I have two Twin Frozr iii 2gb 6950 cards and am attempting to use the HDMI on the video card solely for 5.1 audio out to my receiver while using video through the DVI jack of the same card directly to my monitor without success.
-Audio functions if I run the HDMI from the card into my receiver, then out to my Asus VG236 monitor.
-Audio functions when I run from the card to my receiver then out to my plasma tv.
-Audio functions if I have the DVI run directly to the Asus VG236 monitor and HDMI to the receiver then plasma tv (only in dual display and the tv must be on for audio to function this way. If I turn the tv off even though the receiver is still on the audio stops working and windows sound lists the 'AMD HDMI Output' as not plugged in).
-Audio even fuctions when I run DVI to the monitor and HDMI to the receiver, then out to the HDMI port on the same monitor but the monitor will only run at 60hz this way even when DVI is selected on the monitor, as though it defaults to the HDMI when dvi and hdmi are both plugged into the monitor.
And if i run the hdmi to the receiver "HDMI IN" port without using the "HDMI OUT" port from the receiver to anything, like my tv or monitor, the sound doesn't work and in windows sound the "AMD HDMI Output" is listed as "not plugged in" .
I purchased this monitor for the true 120hz capabilities, the HDMI on this monitor doesn't support 120hz, the maximum is 60hz. DVI is required to run at 120hz. I don't see any option in windows sound settings or CCC to resolve this.
I have also tried disabling onboard audio in BIOS with no effect.
For now i'm running the audio out my MOBO jack through an optical cable to the receiver but optical only supports 2.1 sound.
Any suggestions you can offer would be appreciated, thank you

bump,
Anybody?

Need assistance with AMD drivers (HDMI Audio Out)

Short version:
I have an older AMD graphics card that won't work right with the open source drivers. The proprietary driver would potentially fix my problems, but it is incompatible with my current system.
Long version:
I've got this lovely old AMD Graphics card, which happens to be a Radeon HD 4250 card, and despite all of the help articles in the wiki, as well as the AMD Bar & Grill thread, I still can't get the darn thing to work properly. As of right now, I'm currently using the open-source xf86-video-ati driver. While it's a nice driver that performs well for day-to-day things, I can't seem to get the more nitpicky things working properly. One such thing, is HDMI Audio support.
Now don't go and bite my head off just yet: yes, I did read the help articles for that problem as well. I must have tried every possible fix in them, and then some. Video-out through HDMI works, at least. It's only when I try to force the audio (by adding radeon.audio=1 to GRUB) when my TV tells me it can't recognize the signal. Through all of this extensive trial-and-error, I've basically concluded that I have no other choice but to use the proprietary fglrx driver from AMD. Yay.
Sure, sounds easy enough, right? Not really...
Since my card is a bit older than the others, my only option is to use the 12.6 legacy version of the driver, which only supports Xorg version 1.12 and lower, as well as version 3.4 or lower of the Linux kernel. As most of us know, with Arch Linux being the bleeding-edge distro as it is, I currently run Xorg version 1.14 with Linux kernel 3.8. I've searched around for a possible way to downgrade both of these to the appropriate versions, but I've gotten more or less the same answer: downgrading is more trouble than it's worth.
SO.... that brings me to this:
I think I need to completely reinstall Arch Linux from the ground-up, once more. This time, however, I think I need to somehow tell it to install with older versions of both Xorg and the Linux kernel. This way, fglrx has no reason to be incompatible with my system, and I can finally quit fighting this problem and go on with my life. I'm not quite sure how to go about doing this (or if it's possible, for that matter), but that's why I'm here, and I'm definitely willing to try it in order to get this solved once and for all.
Of course, this is just my theory of how to fix this, but if anyone thinks they can help me get the open source drivers to behave properly, please, be my guest.
Either way, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
P.S.
I wasn't sure what terminal outputs anyone may have needed for this, so if someone needs to see a particular output from the terminal, just ask.

I'm not quite sure what HDMI version the TV has. It's a Magnavox 32ME402V 32" HDTV, if it's relevant. Same goes for the laptop. It's a Pavilion dv6-3025dx laptop, but I have no ide what version of HDMI it's currently running. I'd suspect both of them are running something along the lines of 1.3 or 1.4, but I don't know. The cable is, well, a cable. I know it's a Sony brand cable, and the box advertised it for the PS3, though the box doesn't specify an HDMI version either.

Multiple audio outputs - HDMI & Audio out

Hi all,
This is driving me a little nuts, so any help greatly appreciated! With the new Mac Mini models, you can have audio out via HDMI or the line out. I am thinking to hook the mini up to an LCD TV/monitor via HDMI (sound on the monitor) and also to my other TV/sound system via the mini DP and audio out.
I assume when the mini turns on it'll activate both displays (if they are turned on), and from what I understand you can have two displays running. I'd only want one at a time so I'd have the other display switched off. But can the mini output audio to either both, or whichever system I am using? I've read a lot of posts but can't find a definite answer. I only want audio (and video for that matter, but can turn off other screen) to one TV at a time, but do I have to go into the OS audio settings each time I want to swap between the two?
I'm also thinking of using Plex and keeping it open at all times, just sleeping the mini when not in use. Can the mini only output to one source, requiring manual switching to the other (i.e. going from HDMI to audio out)?
Thanks for your help!!

I would consider using a switcher for the video. And use the osx sound output selection to change the audio.

"force" hdmi audio out

Ok my hdmi capable receiver(Onkyo txsr604) is not happy with my ipad 2 nor is my ipad 2 happy with it despite the purchase of the dangly dongly designed oh so wrongly Apple Digital AV adapter that needs to be duct taped on or perhaps superglued in (pardon the pissy side rant). I imagine many a receiver and ipad aint getting on so well. I realize part of my particular sitch is my receiver is specked out at hdmi 1.1, and the ipad is (probably) 1.3 or better. I have a 1.3 hdmi 1.3 cable and all that jazz. Darnit I had the audio working a couple of times but now I get the dreaded device not supported by ipad message. Any tweaks? Bypasses? Overrides? Switches? Buttons? Apps? Settings? Ive had several legacy audio devices give me this same "error" but then go ahead and function fine (docks and such) seems to me a receiver should not be seen as a device at all, unless there was some two way communication necessary. Would like a manual setting perhaps that just outputs the audio over hdmi and mutes the ipad2 speaker. The video is yet another cup of tea, I'll try and figure that out elsewhere.

On other macs introduced during 2010, this works. So my guess is that it does on MBA too, you just have to get a third party Mini DisplayPort to HDMI-adapter, make sure to get one which says it supports sound. If sound does not work on this MBA you could just get the special adapters which were introduced to fix this issue for 2009 Macs, which is a Mini DisplayPort to HDMI-adapter with a USB-connector hooked up to it, grabbing audio through the USB.

MacMini HDMI Audio Out Not Working

Greetings all,
I have a 2010 Mac Mini plugged into a Yamaha RX-V71 Receiver via HDMI. The receiver is plugged into a Samsung TV via HDMI. The image displays correctly onto the TV however the audio only plays through the Mac Mini's internal stereo. When I go to System Preferences -> Sound - > Output - my receiver is not listed. The only items listed are the Mac Mini and the Samsung TV. When I go to Applications -> Utilities -> Audio MIDI Setup the receiver is not listed only the Mac Mini and the Samsung TV.
I have swapped out HDMI cables. Mac Mini is updated to Lion 10.8.2. The receiver is on and I have tried restarting the TV, Mini and receiver multiple times in different orders.
Does anyone have any suggestions or a fix for this?
Thanks!

This is the same for my setup.
Have you tried selecting tv hdmi as your output device?
That is what I select to play through my receiver.

HDMI Audio static FIOS TV only, not DVD or other audio

My second Verizon FIOS set top box (STB) is connected to my home theater system via HDMI, so HDMI out on STB to HDMI in on the home theater box.
When I watch a DVD, watch a movie on Netflix or listen to audio on Pandora, I have no audio issues. When I switch to Verizon FIOS the audio has a lot of static to the point where it is hard to recognize the voice. The bummer is that it used to work fine before. Video is fine, no issues.
I have tried different HDMI cables, air blown all the ports so they are clean, made sure all connections are tight. The issue has not been resolved. There are no abnormal electricity sources nearby other than a wall plug. The STB sits on a wooden shelf and doesnt contact anything else that is metal. Can you help me figure out what the issue is and how to solve it?
The audio and video on the main STB unit (which is also the DVR) is perfectly fine
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The dynamic range fixed it, thanks
