I've enabled the sound via the relevant kernel param, I see in dmesg that it is enabled and when I try to play directly to the hdmi, I see that mplayer is playing but there is no sound coming out. what can be the issue? my setup is composed of one rigg with 3 gpus, an inteligp, radeon hd3560 and radeon hd5450 which are used in a tree seat multi seat setup based on gentoo. one of the seats (the one based on 5450hd) is dedicated to be used as the media center. I'm running kernel which is based on 3.10.6. here are some outputs: dmesg: http://bpaste.net/show/121619/ </div> <div>kernel onfig: http://bpaste.net/show/121620/</div><div>lspci:</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 10.6667px; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family DRAM Controller (rev 09) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200/2nd Generation Core Processor Family PCI Express Root Port (rev 09) 00:02.0 Display controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 05) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev b5) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 3 (rev b5) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev b5) 00:1c.4 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 5 (rev b5) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 05) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation Z68 Express Chipset Family LPC Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 05) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Park [Mobility Radeon HD 5430] 01:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Cedar HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5400/6300 Series] 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
