[pulseaudio-discuss] Issue with multiple hdmi codecs in radeonhd, hacked to work

[John Ettedgui]

Hello,

I just changed my RadeonHD 4670 for a 7870, and now when I type "aplay -l"
I get many HDMI codecs instead of just one like for the previous card.

I think this confuses PulseAudio and I get no sound... (with previous card
it worked all fine).



When I type "aplay -L" I get one more codec that I can see it in the
pavucontrol profile (not sure which one as the names are irrelevant)


if in default.pa I specify the alsa sink device=hw:0,3 directly, I do get
sound, but then in pavucontrol I do not get the advanced sub-menu anymore
which makes me think something is not working properly...

For now I have settled on this hack instead:


I changed the extra-hdmi.conf in
/usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets file to :

[Mapping hdmi-surround-extra0]
description = Digital Surround 5.1 (HDMI 0)
device-strings = hdmi:%f,0
paths-output = hdmi-output-0
channel-map = front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,front-center,lfe
priority = 1
direction = output

[Mapping hdmi-surround-extra3]
description = Digital Surround 5.1 (HDMI 3)
device-strings = hdmi:%f,0
paths-output = hdmi-output-3
channel-map = front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,front-center,lfe
priority = 1
direction = output

I only need one of these two, somehow they both work...

Now everything works for me, but since it's not out of the box, I am
guessing there might be something out there to fix.


Please keep me on the thread, I'm not in the ML.


Best,

John
