Hi all,

I apologize if this is the wrong way of contacting the ALSA project. but I am 
not really clear how to approach this after consulting the wiki.

After adding a HD-Graphics-card and a HDTV set to my VDR-Mediacenter I tried to 
switch from DVB-Out (SD analog incl. audio) to HDMI incl. Audio via xinelibout. 
So far video works fine, but there is no audio. I started with several of the 
distributions (yaVDR based on Ubuntu 10.4, easyVDR based on Ubuntu 8.04 and 
varios other ways, incl. building a system scratch via Gentoo) but always run 
into the same issue.

Either the sound-portion of the ASUS Bravo 220 (which carries an NVIDIA GT 220) 
is not detected at all, or - after playing with the modprobe.d parameters there 
are 4 or 1 device - but no audio. 

Unfortunately I have no other HDMI TV Set or receiver to exclude that the Sony 
is the source of error, but I can say that with my XBox360 I get perfect sound 
via HDMI, so basically the TV set is not broken, nor are the cables.

I have run alsa-info.sh and the output is here:

http://www.alsa-project.org/db/?f=ccaba18e12c044e4cb7d675147592de788261cdd

What jumps right into my eyes is this in dmesg after the TV set has been 
detected,  but I have no clue what it could mean ... 

(note there is another ALC662 onboard device, which does work via analog 
Front-Output when I run speaker-test)

Now, if I run speaker-test for hdmi:CARD=NVidia or on one of the 4 hdmi-devices 
(-Dplughw:0,x) , I either get nothing  or this:

r...@video:~# speaker-test -Dhdmi:CARD=NVidia

speaker-test 1.0.23

Wiedergabe-Gerät ist hdmi:CARD=NVidia
Stream-Parameter sind 48000 Hz, S16_LE, 1 Kanäle
Verwende 16 Oktaven rosa Rauschen

^C

So, I am really happy for any kind of hint what to do now. A pinpoint to the 
right the documentation pages would be great, also I am capable of basic C 
knowledge, so I am also happy to compile and test things... 

Any response is appreciated.

Kind regards,

Alex D.
