Lubuntu, Alsa: no audio in desktop using ATI HDMI audio on gfx card
Hello,
i am struggling to get Alsa audio working on fresh install of Lubuntu 15.04. The output of alsa info is stored here: http://
User kodi is in group audio. I followed like 5 different tips how to solve this situation but with no luck.
Symptoms:
kodi@privateer:~$ aplay /usr/share/
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.
aplay: main:722: audio open error: No such file or directory
No volume mixer applet/control in tray.
In alsamixer settings i have selected proper soundard (default/ATI HDMI) but i have only one "Item" called S/PDIF selected and unmuted (i smell problem here).
When using Kodi.TV, i did set up audio output to Alsa and it does work flawlessly (even DTS-HD audio bitstream to my HDMI receiver works).
When using Gnome player in Lubuntu (default install) i can choose proper soundcard (ATI HDMI) and the sound is working.
Before i was forced to do fresh install i finally installed pulseaudio and pavucontrol and the sound was working excelently in desktop because i was able to select proper soundard using pavucontrol.
It seems i am not able to tell desktop environment what soundcard has to be used when there is only Alsa driver installed and no pulse audio.
Where is the catch? How comes i can't get Alsa audio working using ATI HDMI audio on Radeon gfx card?
Thank you for any advice.
