No HDMI sound output on TV

Asked by Xn

Hi,
I have been tryin to get the HDMI output to the TV, but no luck.
From the sound settings, I cannot see the HDMI device.
aplay -l >

card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: STAC92xx Analog [STAC92xx Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: HDMI [HDA ATI HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I then followed the "SoundTroubleshootingProcedure"
And uploaded the alsa output at the following link:

Thanks,

Done what Daniel suggested.
The first step was enough to make HDMI appear in sound settings, for me to be able to chose it.
Thanks Daniel, indeed.

I now have another problem tie with the video driver: window snapping won't work any longer..
I have tried
ps -A | grep compiz
and nothing happened...
Should I have to reinstall the ATI driver?
Won't the HDMI go away?

I don't really know too much about Unity/compiz. What I can advise is to check glxinfo renderer string and make sure it does not say "Software" or "llvmpipe"

Commands:
sudo apt-get install mesa-utils
glxinfo | grep renderer

If the renderer string says "Gallium 0.4 on RV635" (or something close), then the 3D driver is good, and you should mark this question solved and make a new question about Unity/compiz.

So this just started happening when you added radeon.audio=1? That's odd...

Pastebin your /var/log/Xorg.0.log and link us to it

BTW,
I am not sure the last fix removed window snapping.
What I am sure is that I have noticed now.
What I have done before this, to the ATI driver was to update it to the latest from the Ubuntu repository.
