Detecting HDMI cable whether it's plugged in or not

I was trying to output video and sound to my TV over HDMI.

According to the ALSA wiki page the sound was outputed to my TV with playcommand

% aplay -l                                                    
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 1: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: CONEXANT Analog [CONEXANT Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

% aplay -D plughw:0,3 /usr/share/sounds/ekiga/newmessage.wav

However when I tried the script in the wiki to detect hot plug cable, my system reported that there is no

/sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status

In "/sys/class" there is no "drm" directory

How can I detect if the HDMI cable is plugged in ?

Re: Detecting HDMI cable whether it's plugged in or not

What happens when you run this command,

udevadm monitor

and then plug and unplug the HDMI cable?

Re: Detecting HDMI cable whether it's plugged in or not

I tried 2-3 times plugging and unpluggin, nothing

% sudo udevadm monitor                                              
Password: 
monitor will print the received events for:
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing
KERNEL - the kernel uevent

Re: Detecting HDMI cable whether it's plugged in or not

That's weird that udev doesn't detect the plug/unplug events.

What do you get from these commands?

lspci -nnmvk | grep -B1 -A8 -i audio
lsmod

Re: Detecting HDMI cable whether it's plugged in or not

Oh, i found out why: it's because i'm using catalyst and not radeon driver. When I switch to radeon, then there is a drm directory in /sys/class.

However the question still remains: how do i detect the status of HDMI port, given that i use catalyst? Because my netbook has an AMD Evergreen GPU (AMD E-350), and according to  the Radeon feature page, HDMI audio is not available until kernel 3.3

Otherwise what is this drm directory ?
