Public bug reported:
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.
