    Strange HDMI problem

    New to the forum so hello all

    A question please :
    I have a strange HDMI problem on Kubuntu 12.04 that popped up recently that i need some help with please.
    My mother board is a Asus P5N7A with on board Nvidia graphics(Geforce 9300 series) and Realtek ALC1200 8 channel HD audio.

    I have always run audio through my TV via dvi to hdmi and/or hdmi to hdmi with no problems. Had to obviously tweak a few things here and there but it normally works fine.
    Just recently it has stopped working via my TV but if I start kubuntu with my AV amp connected it works fine.

    The hardware output has been checked with aplay -l and hdmi is running on 0,7. If i run speaker-test i can get an output from hdmi when connected to the amp but not when connect to the TV.
    Windows 7 64 bit talks to the TV fine.
    I have checked everything i can see is un-muted with the alsa mixer and pulse audio has been un-installed as it was just getting in the way.

    Here’s the cruncher. I got frustrated trying to resolve the problem so reinstalled my root partition and it did not fix the problem so figure the issue is with my home partition.
    I created another login to rule that out but it still does not work.

    As said windows works with the hdmi with no problems so it is not a hardware isssue.

    Any ideas why it would work with my AV but not my TV. A TV it was previously working fine with?

    Don't know if this will be helpful or not... But are you running the latest version of the nvidia driver (for precise, its 'nvidia-current' version: 295.40-0ubuntu1.1)?

    The current version notes state the following:

    - Fixed a bug that caused HDMI audio to stop working
    on AppleTV devices when an X server was started.

    Cheers,
    Bill

      I am currently running 310.14.
      For some reason i had not considered rolling this back. I will give it a go and report back.

        Hopefully that will help your issue. 310 is listed in my package list as being an 'unstable' version of the Nvidia driver. So that may well be where the problem lies. Keep us posted on what you find...

            Super! Glad to hear that took care of it

            As for the feeling foolish.. the only foolish question is one you didn't ask.

            As as for me... Every once in a while a blind squirrel finds a nut.... B^)
