No Audio in HDMI connected TV in 22.04

LinuxWorli · 02-15-2024, 08:35 PM

I upgraded from Ubuntu 20 to 22.04 and noticed that Its Video and Audio are not working. Somehow I managed to recover display (connected a TV through HDMI cable) but there is no audio after ubuntu upgradation. I have done many failed trials seen on the internet, but none of them are working.

Quite possibly it could help you to boot including the bolded Grub linux cmdline parameters I use above.

Are any of the A/V related packages I have installed missing on yours? You could have a much longer list, but are any I do have missing on yours? I don't have VLC or SMplayer or Kodi or MPV or other media players other than those in web browsers installed on this (yet).

Code:

# aplay /usr/local/share/sound/alsa/test.wav
Playing WAVE '/usr/local/share/sound/alsa/test.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 44100 Hz, Stereo
#

Aplay is a low level player. Can you get any sound via HDMI using it? On mine, with 4 connected displays, sound is automatically coming from the speakers using the only HDMI connection. If no sound, try adding option -D hdmi.
