There is still the issue here with no HDMI output with 13.10 after a new install. I am now having the issue on a different MB with onboard audio. This would make three different systems now with this issue and one being a high end laptop with HDMI. Please do not tell me that my system could not have worked with the chipset that is in my system as mentioned many times above. The HDMI output worked with no issues before 13.10 release. I had more HDMI options to select from in the Sound and Pulseaudio config settings for stereo and surround sound. Now it is very limited to what can be used. S/PDIF is even limited in reference to the surround sound options. Mainly, there is only various Analog options referencing surround sound.
Please take my word for this. I would not have spent all this time between two bug reports if I did not see an issue here from a once fully functioning system. This would have been a total waste of my time and anyone involved with these reports. With the release of 13.10 the audio issues have gotten worse since some developers decided to remove support for older chipsets which now has crippled quite a few of the once working older HTPCs. Why remove support for older systems forcing the end user to have to replace a once working system? If it is due to removing drivers to cut down the size/bloat of the newer releases then at least give a simple option to add the older drivers and code back in for the older systems. My many installs of 13.10 have been tweaked, edited and re-edited lines of code, added and removed config files, install and reinstall of 13.10 multiple times due to all the changes being tried that eventually caused the audio to completely fail and lastly, information about patches without explanation on how to apply these patches. It has been over three months since the release of 13.10 and yet no resolution to this issue. The release of 13.10 has been a disaster in reference to the audio portion of its release. Still no one can understand here that the regular user of these distros using this archaic method of audio control is not going to understand any of what has transpired over these past three months. The end user needs something as simple as other operating systems such as Mac and forgive me, Windows to set up their audio. The end user should not have to spend hours trying to configure the audio which then leads to total frustration. This type of situation such as I have endured would force any regular user to just go back to a different OS and then end up complaining how complicated Ubuntu or other distros are. Maybe a developer or advanced user of these distros containing Alsa and Pulseaudio can understand these issues but the end user, the plug`n play end user is just getting left with these various audio issues leading to a once working and expensive HTPC. How much longer is this going to go on before someone decides to place a few people on this issue and redevelop the audio portion as one single package for Ubuntu and Linux in general? Please stop waisting time with tweaks and patches and look into a single, more user friendly and productive audio package. Maybe develop a one package replacement that can be easly be installed into Ubuntu 13.10 and the latest distros using 13.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to alsa-driver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1249705 Title: HDMI output not available in 13.10 Status in ALSA driver: Unknown Status in “alsa-driver” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in “pulseaudio” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hello, My issue here is with the HDMI output, it is non existent. I have had no issues with earlier versions of Ubuntu from 10.x, 12.04 LTS and 13.04. Even the original distro which was originally on this HTPC, Susse. I have researched all avenues for a remedy to my issue including #ALSA, #Pulseaudio and #Ubuntu IRCs. Some have mention it is possibly a kernel issue. I do have audio via S/PDIF which is stereo only. I did not upgrade the existing version; which most would, I have done a clean install of Ubuntu 13.10. Everything is working fine except for my audio issues. HDMI output is not showing in either ALSA or Pavucontrol. On the previous versions of Ubuntu I had many options of Digital 5.1 surround ouputs including HDMI. All that is available now for surround sound is analog options. In the Sound configuration panel I only have Digital Output (S/PDIF)Built-in Audio and Analog Output Built-in Audio which are only Stereo, HDMI is now missing in 13.10 I have tried so many apparent fixes in various forums which included editing confg files, uninstalling and reinstalling Alsa-base and Pulseaudio. I am surprised that I have any sound out of the S/PDIF Coax or Optical now. Thank you for taking the time to look this over. I am not 100% sure this is a bug , but by all the research, suggestions on the IRCs and not having this issue on previous versions, I am leaning towards it being a bug. If you need any further information please let me know and I will respond asap.
