I tried the solution in the wiki. The sound would work when I issued the aplay command, but then when I set the .asoundrc file, sound would not work (after logging out and logging back in). I also tried this solution from another thread, but I mistakenly forgot to make backups of the two respective files and now I have no sound at all. Help would be much appreciated! Thanks!
Edit:
Also tried this, didn't work either.
Edit2:
Finally got it solved! All I had to do was go into alsamixer and unmute the "S/PDIF" channel, follow the instructions from the wiki (see link above), and I finally got the sound to work.

No multi-channel available with HDMI output in Audio MIDI Setup on Macbook Air mid-2011 !!!!!!!

Hi everybody !
I am currently facing some problem with seting up a surround sound system.
I looked everywhere on the web but i couldn't find any proper answer to this problem.
To sum up, i want to have a Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound when i'm playing a movie (with an AC3 audio track obviously).
I have a Macbook Air 13" Core i7 connected to a SAMSUNG Plasma TV via an iWires thunderbolt -> HDMI cable (bought on the same time as the MBA). This TV is connected to an amp via an optical cable and this amp to a 5.1 system.
When i am going to Audio MIDI Setup to configure the HDMI output, i cannot select any multi-channel option, only stereo !!!!
Is someone has any idea how to solve this problem ? I am struggling a lot and spent hours on that without finding any solutions !
Thanks a lot for your time !

Hello ckkzzzle,
I was looking into the issue you are describing and think I have a great article to help troubleshoot it. The article is called Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573.
Start here, and work your way down as needed:
Check connections
When using an external display be sure to check the following:
If you're using an Apple notebook, confirm the AC power cable or adapter is securely connected to the computer and the cable providing power to the display is also secure. It is always good to have your notebook connected to AC power when an external display is in use.
Confirm display adapters are fully seated in their respective connections and that they are supported models and for the computer and display. Refer to these articles to assist you with adapter compatibility and further configuration information:
Monitor and Display Adapter Table
About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters
Apple Mini DisplayPort adapters: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Thunderbolt ports and displays: Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
If more than one video adapter is in use—or "daisy-chained"—troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
All the very best,
Sterling

Solved: No sound over HDMI - HP Pavilion dv3510nr Entertainment Notebook PC

I bought an HP Pavilion dv3510nr in April 2009 (4G Ram, Vista Home Premium 64Bit). As I did not have access to any HDMI devices I didn’t have the opportunity to use the HDMI output. Recently I obtained an HDMI TV and when I connected the dv3510nr the video worked fine, but there was no sound. Set the default playback device to Digital Output Device (S/PDIF/HDMI); this made no difference. Over many days I tried various suggestions regarding possible solutions, all without success.
Shortly after buying the laptop, I visited NVIDIA’s web sit and updated the original video drivers to the latest version (version 186.03). According to the NVIDIA, the 186.X drivers offer a very significant performance increase for many applications, and also include PhysX system software for hardware acceleration.
Checked HP’s support page for my model here, and found that the latest drivers provided by HP were version 7.15.11.7903, (Called NVIDIA NB9M-GS Graphics Drivers).
Decided to replace my current drivers with these older ones. This was harder than I expected. Downloading and running the exe file (sp41695.exe) did not replace the existing 186.03 drivers. Using the control panel to uninstall both the drivers and the PhysX software seemed to work, but on rebooting, the drivers were automatically re-installed. I also used Device Manager to uninstall them. Eventually I succeeded and again tried to install the older drivers provided by HP; this time I received an error message saying that I was “Trying to use a 32-bit uninstaller on a 64-bit system”. The program sp41695.exe initially creates a folder C:\SWSetup\SP41695 that contains several files including a setup.exe file and two other folders: WinVista32 and WinVista64. Each of these also contains setup.exe files. I ran the setup.exe file in the WinVista64 folder. This successfully installed both the video and sound drivers for my graphics card. HDMI sound has worked fine since then. Needless to say, from now on I will only install drivers etc. from HP website!
Hope this saves someone else some time.

Here is a thread and it seems like one person got it to work by uninstalling and reinstalling but I didn't read it that carefully. There does seem to be a problem with getting a real windows 7 driver:
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-PC-Sound-and-Audio/Conexant-High-Definition-Audio-Driver-for-W...
Here is another thread (not HP) that said he forced the driver and got it to work:

[SOLVED] No sound with Asus Xonar DGX

I've got no sound so I've looked into journalctl and there were some bluez and pulseaudio related erros. So i.a.w. this topic https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=155714 I did `systemctl enable bluetooth.service`. No more errors but still no sound.
Other things I did:
- unplug/plug headphones
- check whether anything is muted in alsamixer and the gnome sound applet (note: nothing is greyed-out, microphone picks up signals)
snd_oxygen i.e. ASUS XONAR is the sound card I would like to use and I hook my headphones to.

I have no sound with flash. It does work elsewhere.
I am using ALSA.

Orrrr it's because the flash plugin uses OSS.
run `aoss firefox` and be happy.
OSS does still work or at least the alsa backwards compatibility layer that emulates the old interfaces, right? did i miss anything?
for newer versions of flash (like version 9) simply install firefox in wine and let it install the plugin. that usually works great!

Partial progress: following this guide, I got this:

card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 7: HDMI 1 [HDMI 1]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
[xan@cinezzin ~]$
Then, I created the .asoundrc file:
xan@cinezzin ~]$ cat .asoundrc
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.device 7
defaults.ctl.card 0
[xan@cinezzin ~]$
and with
speaker-test -D plughw:0,3 # for slot 1
I get sound [that is the HDMI output works]. With
speaker-test -D plughw:0,7
I get no sound.
But I cannot play any sound at all. If I reproduce a wav file, then I get no sound.
Any thought.
Thanks,
I had similar issues the first time I tried to get HDMI sound to work. The issue is that these cards come with multiple devices so alsa/pulseaudio seem to have issues determining which one is actually used, and more often than not the incorrect one ends up being the default.
From your post it is quite obvious that you are attempting to default the one device which does not work, device 7. The device you report getting sound from is the third one so naturally that's the one you want to attempt defaulting to.
In pulseaudio you can edit /etc/default.pa and add the following entry at an appropriate place:
load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,3
Restarting pulseaudio and choosing your device from something like pavucontrol should then do the trick. You could of course find some similar method of making the change permanent using just alsa, but since I never bothered using alsa directly I will leave that part to you.

[SOLVED] No sound with vmware

I'm getting no sound with vmware, not sure why
Here's what I've been trying to test things:
$ cat /dev/urandom | aplay
Playing raw data 'stdin' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
Here's some alsa info, if it helps:
$ aplay -L

Sometimes no sound with HDMI under Windows 7

I'm running bootcamp with windows 7. After booting windows on the mac mini 2010 there is no sound via HDMI. After rebooting the system with mac os the HDMI sound works. After bootin windows again the sound works in windows too. When I shutdown windows and switch power sound is off again.
Maybe its an issue with the nvidia audio driver in windows 7?

Same problem here. Did you ever figure it out?

[SOLVED]No Sound with ALSA - Intel Corporation 82801G HD Audio

Hey all,
I've succesfully installed Arch Linux. My past two attempts have met with failure, all because of my own failure to read and follow directions correctly. This time everything is installed correctly. I am running Kdemod3 on my laptop with Arch and everything works great. I LOVE Pacman and the simplicity of Arch's configuration files. It's super fast and all together simple. My only remaining problem is this:
My sound with ALSA is not functioning. I followed the installation instructions at the arch wiki and after unmuting all of my channels I still would not get any sound. My sound module is snd_hda_intel and it is detected, loaded and the whole nine yards (as far as I can tell). My user is a member of the 'audio' user group also. I looked at the troubleshooting tips on the bottom of the Wiki but decided not to try them as they do not seem to pertain to my card (snd_hda_intel) but I will try them if anyone would like me to.
If anyone has any ideas, they'd be greatly appreciated!:D Anything I can provide that you need I will be more than willing to provide.
Thanks for such a great distribution,
Dan

[solved] no sound with multimedia apps using Pulseaudio Dummy drive

It seems audio issues are kindof frequent atm, but I couldn't solve the strange issue using the informations provided in the threads nor the wiki
Issue:
One app plays audio just fine: Deadbeef Audio player, but no activity shows up in Pavucontrol while playing.
Deadbeef uses default Alsa outpput (currently Pulse audio server)
The other multimedia that I use or tried (mplayer, VLC and paplay test.wav) play files with no sound to be heard. Pavucontrol just shows 'dummy output' activity
as for mplayer that is the case with default pulse and alsa audio drivers
Context:
1/ Recently switched from ALSA to PulseAudio
Have no ~/.asoundrc
2/ First appeared when:
Installed software updates last week. I lazily hoped it will resolve itself with the next update which it didn't so far. None of the packets I updated had linux|pulse|alsa|sound|audio in its name.
Another issue appeared at the same time: no software is able to play any media from the DVD drive. The optical drive itself is well recognized whether by 'lsscsi' or /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/info
3/ PulseAudio did not start today after booting the system
$ pulseaudio --start
E: [pulseaudio] main.c: daemon startup failed
Started OK after commenting "/etc/pulse/default.pa" config line that remap microphone to mono for Skype (as per the Pulseaudio wiki)

Read how to post correctly to get English output.
kozaki wrote:$ systool -vm relevant_snd_module;
Really? What do you think relevant_snd_module is? When you copy something from another thread, maybe it would be wise to read through it first. I tried to explain that there is no relevant_snd_module, it is a hint to the user, yes you, to use the module that is relevant in users case, which often is snd_hda_intel, which again is also mentioned in the other thread. Read it and correct your post accordingly please.
As for the issue at hand, is module-suspend-on-idle loaded? If so, disable and unload it. Start PA with '-vvvv' switch and post the log here. You might want to try defaulting the configuration for PA, meaning delete your ~/.config/pulse. Does your GPU have a hdmi sound card?
Check if you can get sound output with PA killed through speaker-test:
speaker-test -c 8 -t wav -D plug:"dmix:{CARD PCH DEV 0}"
speaker-test -c 2 -t wav -D plug:"dmix:{CARD PCH DEV 0}"
Both should work launched in that order at the same time.

[SOLVED]No sound with ALSA. I'm looking for help with troubleshooting.

Hi!
Recently I bought a new laptop (HP Probook 450 G1). For some reason I can't hear sound from the laptop's speaker or headphones. I already read the troubleshooting guide on wiki. Unfortunately none of the solutions described on the wiki helped. I'm not using PulseAudio and I'm out of ideas.

So that the right output becomes the all-important *default* output. And it's conveniently a simple one-liner.
I am very aware of that, why not use index instead? It is as convenient as enable. Why leave the user with a disabled device, when it can continue to work? I consider this highly inefficient, because it does not solve the actual issue and creates a potential problem in the future.
In this case, user interaction was the cause, so it does not matter.
Edit: Typo.

[SOLVED] No Sound through HDMI port in Intel after power save

Hi,
I build an HTPC with Arch inside. I output the sound into the HDTV through the HDMI port of the motherboard, following the instruction of the archwiki. Both, the audio and the video are from the motherboard (i.e, I don't have external video or audio cards). Everything works very neat, except for one issue. When I have a couple of minutes without moving the mouse, the video goes black, like a screensaver and I also lost the audio. I guess it is a default configuration in a power saving domain, although I don't remember having installed any. Maybe it is a default of the video driver. I'm using the default xf86-video-intel driver, and I have installed the lib32-intel-dri package.
If a move mouse, the video returns normally. The problem is the audio. I guess that it's because I have the audio through the HDMI port. If I move the mouse immediately after the video and audio are gone, both return without problem. But if I leave the system into this power saving mode for a couple of minutes, and then move the mouse, the video goes back, but the system is mute. I try
$ speaker-test -c 2
, and also
$ aplay -D plughw:0,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
and there are no errors. It seems like the sound is being played, but no longer through the HDMI port.
Is there anyway to check where that powersave comes from? Is there any way to disable it, or at least, a way to make sure that the audio is output through the HDMI port after the powersave mode?
If someone is willing to help, and need the output of command or the content of any configuration file, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,

Thanks jv2112. I read that article before but skipped that section. I disabled all of those options, and at least, the sound doesn't disappear after the video goes black. I have tried several times, for several hours, and the sound is still there. The video still goes black, but I have my sound. Therefore, I mark this issues as solved.
Thanks,

No sound through HDMI output

I have a new macbook pro retina display with an hdmi port built in. I have connected it to my hd tv and have not been able to recieve any sound. I have gone through the settings under sound and changed the output from built in speakers to hdmi. However, I have noticed that it recognizes my hd tv as a phillips when it is in fact a magnavox. Anyone know of anything that can be done to fix this?

That may mean nothing. "MAGNAVOX is a registered trademark of Philips Electronics North America Corporation." according to maganavox.com, for whatever that's worth.

[Solved] No sound with ALSA (change default sound card)

I installed Arch on another laptop and I am unable to get sound working.

Two devices show up in alsamixer. The first (the default, I assume) shows up only an S/PDIF button that I can toggle. If I select the other sound card, I can change volume normally.
I followed this solution in the wiki with no success.
How can I make the second sound card the default one?
