SOLVED kinda : New Graphic card and PulseAudio not working as expected

Hello,

I just changed my RadeonHD 4670 for a 7870, now when I type "aplay -l"  I get a lot of HDMI outputs, although only one on the card...

I think this confuses PulseAudio and I get no sound... (with previous card it worked all fine)
if in default.pa I specify the alsa sink device=hw:0,3 directly, I do get sound, but then in pavucontrol I do not get the advanced sub-menu anymore which makes me think something is not working properly...

What should I look at?

Thanks!

Did you just change it, or did you also build a new configuration with it with the drivers you are using for it?

Just swap the cards, that's all.

Hmm, if you are using AMD Catalyst, update it (along with X) and regenerate the Xorg.conf with sudo aticonfig --[options you need].

If you're using Open Source, I wouldn't know.

I am using the free radeon driver smile
I am pretty sure the issue is related to pulse audio as I do get audio when hacking it, and I also do get direct ALSA audio.

Thanks!

This looks pretty much like my issue:

Re: SOLVED kinda : New Graphic card and PulseAudio not working as expected

well I finally found a hack that worked.

I changed the extra-hdmi.conf in /usr/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets file to :

[Mapping hdmi-surround-extra0]
description = Digital Surround 5.1 (HDMI 0)
device-strings = hdmi:%f,0
paths-output = hdmi-output-0
channel-map = front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,front-center,lfe
priority = 1
direction = output

[Mapping hdmi-surround-extra3]
description = Digital Surround 5.1 (HDMI 3)
device-strings = hdmi:%f,0
paths-output = hdmi-output-3
channel-map = front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,front-center,lfe
priority = 1
direction = output

I only need one of these two, somehow they both work...
But next time pulse gets updated I'll have to remember to fix that again... not just a workaround not a fix.
