HDMI Audio not working with ASUS M3N78-EM
I know this is a common question - but I've searching google and the forums for hours and hours without finding any solution that works for me!
When going through HDMI, the video is running great on my LCD TV, but the audio is not coming through at all. If I plug a PC Speaker into the analog out, then I get the audio there - but never from the TV via HDMI.
My motherboard is the ASUS M3N78-EM with an NVidia 8300 on-board with HDMI. The TV is a 720p 1366x768 TV (Sharp LC-19SB25U). I'm running Xubuntu 9.04 64 bit with a AMD 5050e processor.
aplay -l and aplay -L show that the HDMI device is hw:0,3. I've tried to run:
Code:
speaker-test -c2 -twav -Dplughw:0,3
and it runs correctly and without errors, but I just never hear any audio noise. I've checked the BIOS and it is outputting HDMI Audio (and I have the latest bios). I've checked the TV volume - it is up PLENTY loud...
I have no idea what to do! Most people that have the HDMI problems at least hear something when running a speaker-test, but I get nothing!
Any help? Let me know of any outputs you want to see to help diagnose the problems...
As always, thanks for any help!
EDIT: I guess I should also add that I've also gone into the alsa-mixer and turned on all options/controls, un-muted everything, set the volume up on everything, and turned all of the iec958 switches on.

To make sure the TV was able to handle HDMI audio (I don't know why it wouldn't be able to), I plugged a DVD player into the TV and played the DVD over HDMI video+audio and it worked flawlessly...so I know the TV is not the problem here...

Any ideas??? I've tried everything...I've also updated to the 19 ALSA drivers and the issue remains...I NEVER get audio from HDMI (but I do get it from the analog).

(Not that it shows NVidia 8200 but the motherboard advertises an 8300 (I'm looking at the specs/manual right now...is there a reason for this or should I call up ASUS and ask them?)
EDIT: err...I guess it does say 8300 for the VGA controller (second from bottom) which would be the video card portion of it, so nevermind!

Result from speaker-test:
speaker-test -c2 -twav -Dplughw:0,3
(runs with no errors - but I hear no audio. As I've said, the TV volume is up almost all the way)
Code:
speaker-test 1.0.19
Playback device is plughw:0,3
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
WAV file(s)
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 64 to 16384
Period size range from 32 to 8192
Using max buffer size 16384
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 4096
was set buffer_size = 16384
0 - Front Left
1 - Front Right
...
...
...
I've also tried variants such as
speaker-test -c2 -twav -Dhdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=0
speaker-test -c2 -twav -Dplughw:0,1
and many others, but I get the same result - a successful test but without any sound!
I've tried all of the "fixes" I could find with /etc/asound.conf and alsamixer, I've updated alsa as I mentioned above...
I've seen most of the common threads about this issue - I'm getting no where though!
Any ideas????
EDIT: And no, pulseaudio is NOT installed...

Just to follow up with this, I have still not been able to get this to work, but several others have been successful with this mobo. I'm not sure why it won't work for me, but does for others.
Here is a thread with a number of solutions (in case someone stumbles on this thread in search of answers):
