HDMI audio works only with pavucontrol

I am having a weird problem with my HDMI audio output.
I can have sound only if I use pavucontrol to switch the per app output to HDMI. If I make HDMI as my default device, it would not work anymore until I delete .config/pulse and restart gdm. I must also make sure that before I close BOTH the app and pavucontrol, the per app output is switched back to my PCI-E sound card too.
I tried not to use pulseaudio to select the device, but use mplayer or jack directly (in GNOME or without gdm disabled, which means pulseaudio is not started), HDMI audio does not work at all too.
I am using a Radeon Evergreen with open source driver. Can anyone tell which part does the bug belong to, or if this is a setting issue?

Getting HDMI audio working (ASUS P5E-VM HDMI mATX)

Hey everyone. So I'm trying to create a HTPC using this ASUS P5E-VM HDMI mATX motherboard with a 3.0 GHz E8400 Core 2 Duo and 4GB RAM. I've installed Arch 64-bit on it and have full 1080p video showing nicely on my HD TV with Gnome set up quite nicely. I've gone through the Wiki for the documentation for getting ALSA working but I cannot get any audio working. I have 3 outputs on this board, the line-out on the back, the headphones on the front and the HDMI audio on the back.
I admit I am an ALSA/Linux Audio newb but it seems like everything is set up properly comparing it to the Wiki document. I get very faint audio from the headphones but nothing else. I'd really like to get the HDMI audio working but I am completely and totally lost as to what to do. I don't even know what devices and modules I should be looking for. I'm pretty sure the sound chipset is Intel HDA Audio. Although, under Vista it comes back as Realtek audio controller.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

While searching for the solution myself I stumbled over this rather old thread and having found the solution it might be interesting for someone out there :-)
HDMI audio is working fine with the Asus P5E-V, the problem is that the IEC958 device has to be unmuted on the command line (since it is not showing in any mixer):
(1)amixer --card 0 |grep 958
Then unmute the devices (in my case to unmute "'IEC958',1" was sufficient):
(2)amixer --card 0 sset 'IEC958',0 unmute
(3)amixer --card 0 sset 'IEC958',1 unmute
(4)amixer --card 0 sset 'IEC958 Default PCM',0 unmute

TCP works only with IP right?

TCP works only with IP right? Then if I want to communicate with a devise that does not have an IP (my television) I cannot use TCP right?
Regards,

Why would I post without being 100% correct:
Just trying to point out at a high level that if you use something else to move the TCP then you'll eventually have to implement the functionality that IP gives you.
To those that insist that you HAVE to use IP to move TCP, the answer to that is NO! That's like saying that IP has to use Ethernet. You don't. All IP provides is addressing and routing.
An example of an IP alternative is TULIP: http://www.techiwarehouse.com/cms/engine.php?page_id=2b7e10ac
A network diagram that uses TCP and NO IP:
http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/cache/papers/cs/4058/ftp:zSzzSzpaul.rutgers.eduzSzpubzSzbadrizSzitcp-tr314.pdf/bakre95itcp.pdf#page=5
(ejb, please refer to your own post about misinformation.)
The port is in the TCP layer. Sorry, wasn't thinking there. Actually what I was thinking about is how more expensive NICs can decide if it should look past the IP header of a packet. By being able to ignore IP addresses it is not assigned it can save CPU time. Checking to see if it should listen to a port would be cool too, but that would take too much. A machine will only have a few IP addresses (at least one in the class A,B,C range, maybe a multicast address, at least one broadcast address) which wouldn't take much to store in the NIC. Listening to 1000s of ports is not unheard of.
For the author:
I'd design your chat program with two basic interfaces in mind. There will be guaranteed delivery and best effort. TCP gives you a grantee that either the packet gets to the receiving station or the sender gets an error. That's great until you want to talk Bluetooth.
Bluetooth, IR, and Serial comms are all basically the same in the WinTel world. You talk to them over a COMM port. Here you have no guarantee of delivery. Thus in the old days of downloading you had to use a protocol like ZModem to transmit files and make sure you got them all.
You'll need to implement you own guarantee of delivery for these. Basically look into what TCP provides and implement something similar with Java. Checksum, sequence number, and acks.
When you implement your chat, part of your own "network stack" would decide if it needed to transmit service guarantee information with the data at the application level or not. There is no point in incurring the overhead if TCP is being used.
UDP may work, but I don't trust it past a LAN. Some UDP packets will always be dropped by a router. One example is broadcast packets. I doubt any admins will let a broadcast come into their router. Also, because viruses propagate by broadcasting, a lot of admins may limit them to the subnet of the host. UPD is real good for streaming audio. Something when if you lose a packet you don�t want to recover it. If you�re listening to a game on the radio and there is a lightning strike. Would you rather hear the pop and still be in sync with the broadcast or do you want to fall a second or two behind �live� coverage? I think that UPD packets are more readily dropped by a congested router. That's working on the theory that "If the application doesn't care about the packet really getting there (it would have used TCP) then why should I when I'm too busy."

There is no sound in my ipad 3 , It works only with my headphone

There is no sound on my ipad 3 , It works only with my headphone. I will try everything reboot several times .

Are you turning up the volume after you take the headphones out? The iPad will remember two different volume settings, one with headphones and one without.

Any OS version of 10.8.4 or later has all features that are not OS depended. The plugins are one example. You probably haven't updated all versions of Logic Pro X to the latest one.

Pavillion dv6-3216us win7 clone hard drive worked only with HDClone 4.1

Pavillion dv6-3216us win7 64bit clone hard drive worked only with HDClone 4.1 tried many others that seemed to work but not boot.
cloned to WD 750 GB took about 2.5 hours

The originals were over 3 yrs old low end consumer models and 'due' for retirement to less frequent backup duties.
The Black or Blue Caviar 640GB costs slightly more but also 10-15% faster.
I wouldn't worry about temps, but I would monitor them, and if necessary boost the fans 200-300 rpm to help out.
Make sure everything is SL versions now (DW 4.2).
Normally I zero a drive and reformat more than others, and definitely with new OS.

M200: Processor works only with 600MHz - Why?

I have observed that when you change pcb set for a laptop irrespective of the processors speed it runs at slowest that is 595/598 MHz.
Have you observed this? What is the reason behind?
What is the solution?
If the processor is having 256MB/512MB RAM this things wont affect a large but for 1GB & 2GB the machine performance become very problematic.
I have tried updating DMI this didnot helped.
Re-installing os also didnot helped.
BIO upgrading also didnot helped.
I'm also not very sure about this problem having any relation to pcbset change.
With the good machine I have found the way is dynamically switching capabilities of a processor from bios.
In few machines that are giving problems i didnot observed this option in BIOS.
The machines are PortA200 & Port M200(tablet).
can any one help me. I need to justify this to customer.
Thanks & Regards

Hi
This issue occurs after motherboard changing. Usually after mainboard changing it is very important to make any tests and diagnostic procedures. Without this procedure the CPU will work only with fixed 600 MHZ.
You should contact the Toshiba service to solve this CPU issue.

Stereo audio works only in FCE

I know this has been covered before but I would like some help to get from where I am now, out of the hole I seem to have dug.
Briefly, VHS video with HiFI stereo audio was converted with a Sony DCR TRV355 camera to DVPAL 720x576. Audio 16Bit 48Khz. Firewire cable plugged into the MAC running FCE4 and captured using 'capture now'. So far so good. I drag the clip to the timeline and the two audio tracks and the video track appear. The three names are all underlined. The two audio tracks are linked (the two arrows point to each other like an hour glass where the two tracks touch). The audio plays in stereo. I do nothing to this file, and quit FCE. Now, if I play that untouched captured file on a MAC or PC, in Quicktime, Windows Media Player, FLV whatever, the audio is mono, not stereo. Possibly only one leg of the stereo pair, or possibly left and right summed to mono, it's not easy to tell.
So I have two questions really:
One (not relevant to this problem as I cannot recapture the clip), what do I need to do differently next time to avoid this incompatibiliy?
Two, how do I get from here to being able to play the .mov file in any player in stereo, without degrading the picture? Thanks in advance.

... VHS video with HiFI stereo audio was converted with a Sony DCR TRV355 camera to DVPAL 720x576. Audio 16Bit 48Khz. Firewire cable plugged into the MAC running FCE4 and captured using 'capture now'.
This should have worked fine. A few questions -
Did you use the TRV355 as a converter between your VHS deck and your Mac, or did you record the VHS video to a tape in your TRV355 ... and later use FCE to capture from the TRV355 tape?
What Easy Setup did you use in FCE when you captured this video?
Exactly what versions of FCE, OS X and QuickTime are on the Mac you used to capture the video? Do you have QuickTime7 installed on this Mac?
Did you experience the "mono problem" playing the captured clip on the same Mac you used to capture the video, or did the problem appear on a different Mac?
When you experienced the "mono problem" were you playing the captured clip in QuickTime X or QuickTime 7?
For what it's worth, I have observed that if I play a video clip in QuickTime X that was captured on a Mac with FCE/QuickTime 7, for some inexplicable reason QT X does not fully recognize all the tracks in the clip. Mostly it thinks the clips are audio only, no video; but if I play the clip in QT7 it plays fine.

Trouble getting HDMI audio working

The problem I am currently facing with arch is that I am having trouble getting nvidia HDMI audio in kde.

Yeah, it's down for me too.
Install gstreamer0.10-good-plugins like suggested in that blurb if you already haven't, put in module-device-manager in your pulse config as given, and also build and install veromix from AUR and see what kind of options that program exposes for you.
Edit: and restart after all this, either the computer or PulseAudio.

Help! Keyboard randomly stops working only with finder?

My macbook pro keyboard and my silver Apple bluetooth keyboard (primary keyboard) randomly stop working in Finder can anyone explain? Heres the details:
I usually use my wireless keyboard, and when this happens the keyboard keeps working with everything else, and only stops working in Finder i.e. I can't edit the names of files or even click through files with the arrow keys. (the Macbook Pro keyboard also stops working-only in Finder-during these times too as I just tested..)
Also, Finder keeps working its not frozen or anything, I can click around in it with the mouse and open files/apps, etc.
This has only happened approximately 3 or 4 times (I've had the keyboard since the new ones were released and the computer for 1.5 yrs)
Lastly, when I restart the OS (10.4.11) the problem disappears for a week or more..
help!

Don't do that. Archbang isn't Arch and it doesn't "get rid of installation pain," it just turns it into long term confusion and dependence...

IPad WiFi works only with WPA/TKIP, not WPA2/AES

My iPad (like so many others) stopped connecting to my Linksys WRT54G router (which like everyone else's connects fine with every other device, including non-iOS 4 iPhones). The whole reset/restart/restore dance with the iPad/router/cable modem was performed to no avail. By sheer desperation, security protocols were changed, and that's what finally worked.
The protocol to the rescue was WPA/TKIP, curiously enough. (When security is completely disabled ("Open"), the iPad also connects, perhaps expectedly.) The culprit is WPA2/AES (even AES+TKIP). Any iteration of WPA2/AES ends up blocking the iPad from getting the appropriate IP address via DHCP. Once I changed to WPA/TKIP, everything's been rock-solid and fast.
(The only times WPA2/AES worked was when the iPad was first used for a couple days, and a couple days after switching back to WPA2/AES when it started working with WPA/TKIP. Since then, switching back to WPA2/AES no longer works, even temporarily.)
Any idea why initially WPA2/AES worked, and then suddenly stopped?

Ralph Landry1 wrote:
That is a very interesting question ... [involving] the combination of the router and the iPad and their respective implementations of the AES encryption algorithm. The AES algorithm is considerably more complex than TKIP. Why some have problems and not others has to be related to the router and its implementation and the Apple implementation.... t works fine for me connecting with [both] a Verizon FiOS (Actiontec) router [a]nd ... an AirPort Extreme. But there have been a number of posts recently about problems with Linksys and Belkin connectivity.
Tell me about it. I'd been pulling my hair out prior to "discovering (by accident," as George Costanza would say) that WPA/TKIP fixed the problem, and seems to be working fine and fast. Now I'm just academically frustrated (better than actually frustrated) wondering why WPA2/AES is so problematic +with this particular trifecta+ (my iPad, my Linksys router, and WPA2/AES).
Bottom line is there is probably not an easy solution ... and since you do have a strong security protocol that works, keep using it. Very strange that there would be a change in connectivity after a few months, though. Old engineering philosophy, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you have something that works, stick with it for now.
Actually, WPA2/AES worked on two (short but notable) occasions:
a) for two days when I first unpacked the iPad, and
b) for two days when I switched back to WPA2/AES upon discovering WPA/TKIP fixed the issue.
So it wasn't two months, which makes more sense. I agree with you that I'm not touching this arrangement for now. What I did have to do was change over the other devices (PCs, Wii's, TiVo's) that didn't automatically adjust over to WPA/TKIP. (To its credit, the iPhone did that on the fly.) Going through each device hurt a little, knowing I was using a less-than-optimal protocol for just one cranky device at expense of every other one--but of course I'd rather everything play nice than be necessarily cutting edge. (It's not like I'm the Pentagon or anything here.)
But also give feedback to Apple:

Done and done. And thanks for a great and reassuring explanation.

Audio problem only with some application and with games

Hi,
Some days my ipad2 presents this problem: audio is ok with itunes and when I look a video on youtube but it not work when I use some app (for example, Sky Go, app for cinema to look trailer) or with games.
What should I do?
Thanks

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
