No hdmi option in Pulse audio LM20.1
I have a fresh install of LM20.1 xfce on modern i7 7th gen laptop. When I try outputting sound via hdmi I note that in Pavucontrol there is no hdmi device listed. I kept the Win10 OS and confirm that plugging hdmi on that one did give me sound output.
Has anyone found fix for this please?

Confirm that Secure Boot is disabled in your BIOS, as it's known to interfere with device drivers.
If you're dual-booting with Windows, also confirm that Fast Boot is disabled (or "Minimal" for Dell) in your BIOS, and that Fast Startup is disabled in Windows power management. Disable Fast Boot in BIOS, then boot Windows to disable Fast Startup, then power down for a moment before booting Mint.

I've done nothing to warrant that but I'll take it anyway.

On a more serious note, MrEen is our resident sound guru and you're going to need his in-depth knowledge. While you wait, this three year old article might provide you some clues and reading material: viewtopic.php?p=1503984#p1503984
I don't recommend following any instructions in that thread except the ones in the linked post asking for the terminal output from several commands. That way, you'll have everything ready for MrEen when he arrives.

Thanks again, I'll take a look at that. Yes MrEen is the man for sound, a saxophone player as well I believe, so I hope he can help.

Re: No hdmi option in Pulse audio LM20.1
A little more information. I've restored Secure boot in the BIOS so my Dell laptop is set to boot in UEFI, Secure boot mode.
Win10 outputs sound through HDMI
LM20.1xfce doesn't appear to recognise the HDMI sound source, no HDMI sound output
MX Linux doesn't recognise the HDMI sound source, no HDMI sound output
LM19.3xfce doesn't appear to recognise the HDMI sound source, no HDMI sound output
Referring back to my old ACER laptop, this predates the UEFI, Secure boot stuff and has no apparent issues with HDMI sound as indicated by the screenshot (although I notice greater resource use if I output the video via HDMI)
For reference I'll run the same MrEen checks for the ACER:

Re: No hdmi option in Pulse audio LM20.1
Web surfing suggests that this is an issue for many. Found this https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=225346 which looks promising. I'll see if that holds a solution.
Re: No hdmi option in Pulse audio LM20.1
I'm back!
Radeon audio is finicky on Ubuntu-based distros. Now that it is showing as being there, you need to set the Profile to something usable on that Configuration tab of pavucontrol. And this assumes that's where the audio is coming from. Some HDMI audio actually comes for the built-in card. These commands should help us verify the correct setting:

Re: No hdmi option in Pulse audio LM20.1
Thats great, Hi MrEen. Seems I posted too much info, the second set of data related to my old ACER laptop. Notwithstanding the Radeon, with LM19.3 it works astonishingly well, particularly regarding sound. I juggle between Zoom, Teams and Skype, hot plugging wireless headsets...and whatever I throw at it just works.
The problem is with my newly acquired Dell laptop (10 years younger) for which the first data set applies. And here is the additional output you requested:

Re: No hdmi option in Pulse audio LM20.1
No worries, I can still see from those outputs where your issue lies. Run this and test the sound:
I'm guessing at which profile should work, but I think that'll be the one.
And if no sound, then run this:
Use this for testing as sometimes making changes requires restarting the sound playing app to pick up the changes:
We can tinker with these once we know what works.
Code: Select all
pacmd set-card-profile alsa_card.pci-0000_00_1f.3 output:hdmi-stereo
And if no sound, then run this:
Code: Select all
pacmd set-default-sink alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1f.3.hdmi-stereo
Code: Select all
aplay /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav

Re: No hdmi option in Pulse audio LM20.1
Thank you, and well done, the first script did the job. Pavu now gives one profile box with scroll down choices for the different card options (see image). I'll try the sound with different video conferencing Apps and see how that goes.MrEen wrote: ⤴Sat Mar 27, 2021 9:03 pm No worries, I can still see from those outputs where your issue lies.

I guess that this sound issue stems from the UEFI/Secure boot BIOS settings impact on Linux systems. As noted above, two LM xfce systems and MX Linux show the same lack of hdmi sound, but Win10 wasn't affected.
Re: No hdmi option in Pulse audio LM20.1
I'm glad that worked so far.
I forgot about input in the above. You'll probably want to change the edit we made to this:
Assuming that also works fine, we can then automate this this way:
In the terminal run
Save the file and reboot and hopefully everything just works from now on.

Re: No hdmi option in Pulse audio LM20.1
Thank you. That works for outputting sound via hdni. So far I've only had a chance to try Skpype, which works and hence so should Teams.MrEen wrote: ⤴Sun Mar 28, 2021 10:35 am I'm glad that worked so far.

It would be good to find a means of adding the hdmi sink as a separate profile )as in the above illustration for my LM 19.3 installation. If I plug in a wireless headset for example I get a dedicated profile for it. This appears to permit automatic change of output device.
However I've just checked by otplugging hdmi with LM 19.3 and it doesn't work automatically either. Apologies, I've always been a bit of a perfectionist!
I'll play about with it a little and then mark the issue as solved. Thanks again MrEen.
Re: No hdmi option in Pulse audio LM20.1
That was something I thought was "undoable" when the HDMI and built-in sound were all on the same card as in your case. I've since learned there is a way to split the card into 2 choices, but I'll probably struggle to find a link for the steps. Hopefully sometime this weekend I'll have something for you to try.oliverjames wrote: ⤴Tue Mar 30, 2021 5:24 am It would be good to find a means of adding the hdmi sink as a separate profile )as in the above illustration for my LM 19.3 installation.

Re: No hdmi option in Pulse audio LM20.1
Thank you MrEen. That is interesting to know, I guess sharing cards saves space and manufacturing cost. But it's a holiday weekend so please don't spend too much time on that.MrEen wrote: ⤴Thu Apr 01, 2021 7:12 pmThat was something I thought was "undoable" when the HDMI and built-in sound were all on the same card as in your case.

Re: No hdmi option in Pulse audio LM20.1
I found the link: https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... audio-card
I helped a user many months ago with the same thing and they got it working to have HDMI and Analog as separate select-able sinks. I then tried to help another user with the same thing and it didn't go so well.
Give the accepted answer there a read through and let me know if you want to try it. Or even give it a shot on your own. I don't have a card like yours, so I cannot experiment with something like that.

Re: No hdmi option in Pulse audio LM20.1
I had a quick look at the link, which looks promising, Thank you. I'll give it a go mid-week when I'll have more time, and let you know the result.MrEen wrote: ⤴Sun Apr 04, 2021 3:46 pm I found the link: https://unix.stackexchange.com/question ... audio-card
