Breathe on it & sound stops working again. Totem kills the sound reliably so uninstall it & use VLC. I've tried to document the process of getting sound via HDMI on Ubuntu 16.10 clearly for the next person. Note 1 : The package 'oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms' does not exist in the Graphics drivers PPA. Note 2 : Ubuntu 16.10 is the most recent being packaged for by the ALSA PPA guys. Note 3 : Keep your resolution no higher than 1920x1080 or no sound via HDMI again.. Note 4 : When sound via inevitably stops, Log out & back in. Check sound mixer settings & return them to HDMI/Display port/Stereo etc again. Follow these steps to resolve the issue: 1. Make sure that your system is up-to-date using the Update Manager. In a Terminal window, run the following: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade Reboot the system. 2. Add the following groups to your account: audio, pulse, pulse-access, video, voice Install the better user/groups gui to manage this: sudo apt-get install gnome-system-tools 3. Add the Graphics Drivers PPA [ Oibaf : Updated and Optimized Open Graphics Drivers repo ] [ <a href="https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers">https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/ubuntu/graphics-drivers</a> ] In a Terminal window, run the following: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers sudo apt-get update Reboot the system. 4. Add the ALSA PPA (all versions of Ubuntu up to 16.10, 17.04 NOT supported) [ ALSA daily build snapshots repo ] [ <a href="https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/ubuntu/alsa-daily/+index">https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/ubuntu/alsa-daily/+index</a> ] In a Terminal window, run the following: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms Reboot the system. 5. Make this directory if it does not exist under /etc/X11: sudo mkdir xorg.conf.d Create this new file: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf Paste this contecnt into the newly created file: Section "Device" Identifier "Intel Graphics" Driver "intel" # Option "SwapbuffersWait" "true" Option "AccelMethod" "SNA" # Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" Option "TearFree" "true" Option "DRI" "3" EndSection To revert to standard Ubuntu graphics drivers type the following in a prompt shell: $ sudo apt-get install ppa-purge $ sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers To revert to standard Ubuntu ALSA drivers type the following in a prompt shell: $ sudo apt-get install ppa-purge $ sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
