[SOLVED] No HDMI sound Nouveau (660TI)

Archlin · 2020-04-10 06:07:26

According to the feature matrix at https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/FeatureMatrix HDMI sound should work om my card (NVE0). But whatever I do it seems I cannot get any sound out of it when using the Nouveau driver. Tested it also with the closed source driver from Nvidia and then I have sound so its not a port or cable issue.

I have checked alsamixer for muted channels (not the case), rebuild the system clean on a second disk to make sure nothing in my config was the issue. And still nothing.

CHecked if the HDA-intel modules where loaded and that also seems the case

According to aplay -l the hdmi output is card 1 with devices 3 and than 7 till 12. I tried all devices for sound with aplay -D (see code below) and non gave any sound.

aplay -D plughw:1,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Right.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono

I understand that using the closedsource drivers are a solution but that is no option for me at this moment. Still I need to get sound out op the card somehow.

Kernel level everything looks fineish maybe just a matter of enabling it on the relevant xorg screen? Try

xrandr --output $output --set audio on

maybe post the outputs of

dmesg | grep -iE 'nouveau|snd'
xrandr --verbose

Archlin · 2020-04-10 16:05:42

Oke second command gives some info:

I am having the same issue with nouveau since today's upgrade of my HTPC. In my case downgrading to linux-5.5.13.arch2-1 fixed the problem.

Archlin · 2020-04-12 10:45:55

Indeed a kernel issue as it seems, downgrading did the trick. Sound is up and running on nouveau

thx mvn23
