HDMI audio output broken after upgrade?

I've been using HDMI audio for a couple months, and it just stopped working. I'm not sure which part of the pipeline is broken, because pavucontrol shows everything normal:

  • In the Configuration tab Built-in Audio's "Digital Surround 5.1 (HDMI 2) Output" is selected (the list of outputs show a bunch of other options, most of which are marked "unavailable").

  • The Output Devices tab shows only the above device, with "(plugged in)" after the name

  • The Playback tab shows whichever application is playing (Firefox, VLC, etc) at 100% volume, and the volume indicator bar is moving as normal.

Other signs that everything is normal:

  • The receiver settings are the same as before I rebooted, although I did also restart the receiver at the same time.

  • I've not unplugged or re-plugged anything other than the HDMI cable.

  • Bluetooth audio works fine.

Basically everything looks normal, but there is no sound. Short of the receiver having thrown a fit (the display looks normal and there's no indication of anything unusual), is there anything else I can check?

Solved by fiddling around with the settings on the receiver for a while. Sorry for the noise, no idea how this happened. It's back after rebooting just the PC. The receiver settings look like they were a red herring; everything works except the actual sound output.

Re: HDMI audio output broken after upgrade?

Yeah it's probably not the software.

Re: HDMI audio output broken after upgrade?

I'm having this problem recently as well. I checked my update logs and found the following:

[2021-03-31T21:42:51-0400] [ALPM] upgraded mesa (20.3.4-3 -> 21.0.1-1)
[2021-03-31T21:42:52-0400] [ALPM] upgraded libva-mesa-driver (20.3.4-3 -> 21.0.1-1)
[2021-03-31T21:42:53-0400] [ALPM] upgraded mesa-vdpau (20.3.4-3 -> 21.0.1-1)
[2021-03-31T21:42:54-0400] [ALPM] upgraded vulkan-radeon (20.3.4-3 -> 21.0.1-1)

Do you have an AMD Video Card?

As do I. I tried downgrading the packages I mentioned to 20.3.4-3, but that did not solve the problem.

Does anyone have ideas on ways we could debug this further?

Re: HDMI audio output broken after upgrade?

By the way, I booted into Windows 10, and everything works fine there with the exact same hardware setup. So it's definitely something specific to my arch partition.

Re: HDMI audio output broken after upgrade?

Ok so assuming it's the software, you can try this:
rm -r .config/pulse
pulseaudio -k
Now  play something and check each pavucontrol setting including the green 'fallback' checkmark to make sure that the right device is active.

Thanks for the tip; didn't work I'm afraid.

Re: HDMI audio output broken after upgrade?

Hmm... one last thing i can think of (what i read in other posts) is exploring the pacmd command to see more detail. Use it when playing audio. Perhaps post the output of pacmd -list-sinks. And hope someone with more knowledge can help. Good luck.

Re: HDMI audio output broken after upgrade?

If things look alright from a pulse chain perspective it's likely a kernel regression. Test the LTS kernel/find out which kernel update brought this breakage and downgrade to a version before that.

Do you see any messages in dmesg/journal during attempted playback? What's the output of

pacmd list-cards
pacmd list-sinks
pacmd list-sink-inputs

I tried the LTS kernel (5.10.30-1-lts, compared to 5.11.13.arch1-1 which I was running originally), and no change: HDMI doesn't work (the receiver indicates that something HDMI-related is happening, but doesn't play anything), and Bluetooth audio works fine.

I don't see any messages in `sudo dmesg --follow` when playing with VLC, at least.

Re: HDMI audio output broken after upgrade?

You aren't attempting to play back to a HDMI device in these outputs and you're trying to use 5.1 even if you would, does it work if you pick stereo? FWIW is the device occupied by something? What's your

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*

generally HDMI/digital audio is on or off, so if the receiver indicates it receives a signal it receives a signal, but maybe not from the application you want.

I'm not sure I understand the first sentence; here's the output while trying to play via HDMI:
