How come i can't get sound thru hdmi only audio jack?

:doh::banghead:

I have a 1080p video card installed via PCIe and can't seem to get sound to work on my big screen tv unless i use a audio jack and stereo.

similar to this:
linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-hardware-18/unable-to-play-hdmi-sound-thru-speakers-851464/

please post the output of lspci and aplay -l .

try doing an alsamixer and unmute all the spdif's.

ok I am a MCP but how do you shut that off in Linux? TERMINAL?

IF SO COULD YOU GUIDE ME THRU IT PLEASE

Open a terminal (you will find it under Acessories in your Mint Menus, I think) and type the commands

Code:

lspci

and

Code:

aplay -l

each followed by the Enter-key into it. Then post the output of the commands here, at best between code-tags.
Does your sound work in Windows?
And do you use the proprietary or the open source drivers in Linux?

By the way, no need to shout.

how do i download different drivers other than the ones for linux? my asus video card drivers won't run in linux should i try whine lmao???????????

No, you should run Linux driver, either the ones that come by default or the ones you get using your driver manager.

i edited my post above. can you please run alsamixer and unmute the spdif's.
also (if you are using gnome) try playing around with the sound preferences by rite-clik'ing the speaker icon ?
