    sound problem

    Hi all,

    Ubuntu 12.04 desktop 64bit
    ASUS mobo M5A97R2.0
    audio Realtek ALC887

    I have been struggling more than a week unable solving the sound problem via HDMI output.

    On sound setting
    -> Output
    HDMI/DisplayPort disappears on "Play sound through"

    I have another HD on this PC running Fedora 17 desktop 64bit. There is no problem on sound output via HDMI. HDMI port found on "Play sound through"

    Please help. TIA

    B.R.

    Agreed if the same HDMI cable works in another Linux on the same PC then it have something to do with Ubuntu.

    I assume you have proved the sound working satisfactorily in another port and the problem has been narrowed down to the HDMI/Display port.

    There is always the possibility of a bug in the distro. My experience with the current Ubuntu is that it has not been well put together in some recent releases to the point I have to switch to Mint on my latest machine.

    Yes, Fedora works on the same PC and same HDMI cable without problem.

    Yes, Analog Output works without problem.
