I have a new, up to date, Linux Mint 12 64-bit installation. I have installed the Nvidia proprietary driver(s). I have unmuted the HDMI ouput in alsamixer. I have tried system sound settings to Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output, without success. I can get 'normal' Analog Stereo Output through the earphone/speaker jack.
Please Help:
** How can I get HDMI sound output?
** How can I check for proper configuration to get HDMI sound output?
** Is there potentially enough difference between my previous 32-bit Ubuntu and new Mint 12 64-bit installations to have broken the HDMI sound output? Would Linux Mint 12 32-bit version be any different?
Here are my aplay outputs:
