[pulseaudio-discuss] What is the state of play with HDMI sound output on cards with multiple output pins?

[mikey]

Hi,

I've just come across the HDMI output problem on my Geforce GTX 660 Ti
where I am unable to select the correct sound output for my monitor (which
I believe are called pins) corresponding to the port I have my cable to my
monitor connected into. I employed the first of the two workarounds
detailed here:

ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/gpu-hdmi-audio-document/gpu-hdmi-audio.html#_issues_in_pulseaudio

And got it to work - all be it has created an extra card in my sound setup.

While researching I found posts about this going back at least 2 years,
including a recognition of the problem on this discussion group. As it
stands, at least for me downstream on Fedora 17, the issue is still
outstanding without a fix or a code based workaround (one for the user not
by the user).

So I was wondering where we stand with this?
