No HDMI Audio from PNY Nvidia G210 Card - Please Help [SOLVED]

***** It's now working! *****
Thanks to some of the posts on the XBMC and Ubuntu hardware forums. I picked up a lot of pointers.
When using this card with XBMC, There is no need at all for an /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf with probe masks etc. and there is no need for a /etc/asound.conf either (if you are going to just use XBMC like me for your HTPC setup)
All you need is ALSA 1.0.23 installed and at least be running kernel 2.6.34. aplay -l should reveal multiple (4) Nvidia devices as shown in my previous text further down this post, this is fine, however only 1 of these Nvidia devices will actually deliver sound to your TV via HDMI.
In XBMC, goto System Settings, Audio Settings, set device to "Custom" and enter only ONE of the following and then try and play a movie or music in XBMC... (My G210 Nvidia soundcard is card 1 as I also have onboard audio at card 0 so bear this in mind when applying this method to your setup e.g if your HDMI soundcard is card 0 then the first thing to try is plughw:0,3)
plughw:1,3
plughw:1,7
plughw:1,8
plughw:1,9
My PNY G210 card worked using a "Custom" device in XBMC of plughw:1,8
If you are not using XBMC and are using for example a Gnome desktop then you can apparently get sound working by using the text in the code box below in your /etc/asound.conf (this will ensure alsa defaults to the correct card and sub device for hdmi audio) again ensure you are using the correct card number and device number. You can validate this by testing audio as follows from the command line "speaker-test -D plughw:1,8 -r 44100" and simply work your way through the 4 devices until you find the one that works.
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type hw
card 1
device 8
Given the amount of testing and reading I have done on this, I wouldn't be surprised if this method works for any G210 Nvidia cards and HDMI audio, as the logic seems sound (if you'll pardon the pun! :-))
Hopefully someone will find this helpful.
Original problem text below this point......
Hi Guys,
I am about to give up on this as I cannot get HDMI audio to my TV no matter what I try.
The card is a PNY Nvidia G210. I am running Arch Linux x86_64 and ALSA 1.0.23 and Nvidia driver 256.33
aplay -l shows

Everything for the Nvidia HDMI is un-muted in alsamixer.
I've tried the tips from the wiki here in terms of probe masks added to sound.conf but still no joy. http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_set_ … ,_or_GT240
I've also tried the tips from this post here and still no sound. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=90350
Disabling the motheroard onbonard Intel Audio makes no difference and manually compiling and installing the very latest ALSA driver makes no difference.
Has anyone got HDMI audio working on this card under linux?
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer as I have now run out of ideas and if I can't get this to work will have to revert back to my old ASUS EN9400GT card which takes s/pdif from the motherboard for audio out to HDMI.

Thank you ever so much!

Removing original audio from a film clip!Please help

Hi
I am trying to export a film with visuals and sound synced - I have done this within Logic however when I export it (Options>Movie>Export Audio to Movie) I am not presented with an option that allows me to remove the original audio from the film.
I have tried a couple of things and when I play the finished video back it has the new synced music track that I have produced however the original sounds from the pre edited film are present upon playback!
Can someone please tell me how to get rid of these original sounds - It would be greatly appreciated : )
All te best,
Al

if you export, after making your settings, a new box will appear and will ask you, which original audio from the movie you like to keep on the new movie. Just deselect and go on. New video should be without old sounds.

Can not select from my own MV. Please help.

Hello Gurus,
I have created a MV with following clauses
CREATE or REPLACE MATERIALIZED VIEW "OWNER_NAME1"."MV_Name1"
BUILD IMMEDIATE
USING INDEX
REFRESH COMPLETE
AS
SELECT column1, column2 .... from table1,table2
where .....
I have logged in to DB with the 'owner_name1' schema itself which is the owner of the MV.
But, when I try to select from the above MV. It gives error "Ora-00942 table or view does not exist"
I can see the same under 'user_objects' view as an object of owner_name1 schema.
Could you please help me in understanding where I have gone wrong?
DB - Oracle 9i on unix platform.
Thanks in advance!
Abhijit.

Oh! I missed to mention the exact steps followed by me which created error for me,
viz.
1) I have 2 Database and their users as follows
bq. i) DB1 in local server - 'localUser'
bq. ii) DB2 in remote server - 'RemoteUser1' and 'RemoteUser2'
2) 'RemoteUser2' user in DB2 has 'select' privilage on table 'RemoteTable1' of 'RemoteUser1' ( both are remote DB's users ! )
i.e. select * from RemoteUser1.RemoteTable1; --works okay when logged into RemoteUser2. no synonyms are created hence using schema_name.table_name convention.
3) Logged in to 'localUser' in DB1.
4) Created a DB link 'local_to_remote2' in 'localUser' schema ( in DB1) to 'RemoteUser2' schema (in DB2)
i.e.
create database link local_to_remote2 connect to RemoteUser2 identified by password using 'connection_string';
DBLink was created successfully.
5) I could select from the tables of 'RemoteUser2' using DB Link. (by logging in to 'localUser')
i.e. select * from RemoteUser1.RemoteTable1@local_to_remote2 ; --- gives me expected output. no issues!
6) Now, I created below MV in 'localUser' ( no need to tell in 'DB1' )
the exact syntax I used is as follows,
CREATE or REPLACE MATERIALIZED VIEW "localUser"."MV_Name1"
BUILD IMMEDIATE
USING INDEX
REFRESH COMPLETE
AS
SELECT column1, column2
From RemoteUser1.RemoteTable1@local_to_remote2
where condition1
and condition2;
The MV was created successfully, and I could see it as an 'Valid' object of 'localUser' schema.
i.e. select * from user_objects where object_name ='MV_NAME1' and status ='VALID' --- tells that above create MV is an object of owner 'localUser'
But, when I try to select from the said MV. it gives me error "Ora-00942 table or view does not exist"
i.e. select * from MV_Name1; ---- neither this
select * from localUser.MV_Name1; ---- nor this works :(
Even when I try to drop the same MV it gives me same error. :(
Could you please suggest me anything so that I will be able to select from MY OWN MV ?
Please help Gurus.

To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.
Ciao.

Take it to an authorized service center or Apple Store in the country where the phone originated. Apple does not sell iPhones in Pakistan, nor will they ship them to Pakistan.

I'm not sure this is what you're looking for, but it might help:

There is nothing that anyone here on a user forum can do to help you. If it is a local issue in Syria, then you need to take it up with your phone company or authorities there who have prevented you from using VPN.
Nobody here can help you.

My iPhone recently broke so I was sent a brand new iPhone to replace it, however, since receiving this phone, I cannot access anything which was previously backed up onto iCloud from my last iPhone. Please help me!

My iPhone recently broke so I was sent a brand new iPhone to replace it, however, since receiving this phone, I cannot access anything which was previously backed up onto iCloud from my last iPhone. Please help me!

If you are trying to restore to an iCloud backup, this has to be done during the initial setup process. If your phone is already set up, you will have to go back to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content & Settings, then go back through the setup screens again and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below). Be sure your phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to complete.
Also, your replacement phone must be running the same iOS version or higher to restore to your backup. If you are running an older version of iOS than the device that was backed up, your backup will not be visible when you choose to restore to your iCloud backup. If this is the case, you'll have to update your replacement phone first.
