Nvidia Mcp79 Hdmi - Alsa
Hello to everybody,
I recently bought an ASROCK ION 330BD in order to build a HTPC. After installing the latest image of x86_64 arch, I tried to configure it in order to playback HD content.
The PC is connected to the TV [Philips 32PFL9613D] via HDMI. I tried the ALSA wiki in order to configure the card and installed the following packages:
- alsa-lib
- alsa-utils
- alsa-plugins
- alsa-oss
- ladspa
- swh-plugins
The modules show that they are loaded properly as:
[user@htpc ~]$ aplay -L

HDA NVidia, VT1708S Analog
Default Audio Device

Subdevice #0: subdevice #0As ALSA wiki suggests, I tried:
% aplay -D plughw:0,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wavand I still do not get sound.
I tried to switch the default device to HDMI via System Settings -> Multimedia in KDE, but KDE is reports that there is a problem and that the sound device is falling back to default.
I will appreciate any help.
Thanks

Re: Nvidia Mcp79 Hdmi - Alsa
Hello sip03ds!
Which kernel do you use ?
"and I still do not get sound." -> Is there any error output if you start it from console ? Did you try with oss, does that work, just alsa not ? Did you try with other application, like mplayer, madplay, mpg123 e.g. ?

Re: Nvidia Mcp79 Hdmi - Alsa
To answer your questions:
1. I am using the latest kernel 2.6.30-ARCH (x86_64)
2. I do not get any errors when I start it on the console
3. I do not have sound at all in the desktop environment (KDE) therefore mplayer / vlc etc do not produce any sound.
4. I tried OSS and I had sound, but it was not decoded correclty.

Re: Nvidia Mcp79 Hdmi - Alsa
Did you set with alsamixer e.g. the settings correctly ? Did you try with pulseaudio ?

Re: Nvidia Mcp79 Hdmi - Alsa
I have the right settings in alsamixer, i have not tried pulseaudio, this will be my next step, test it and post the results.

I have tested with pulseaudio, and I still get the same results as with ALSA.

Re: Nvidia Mcp79 Hdmi - Alsa
Hello to all,
I managed to get sound with ALSA. I have changed /etc/asound.conf with the following:
pcm.snd_card {
type plug
card 0
device 3
}With the following config and commands:
$aplay -D plughw:0,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
$aplay -D plug:hdmi /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
I get tone
I managed to add sound in mplayer via its config:
~/.mplayer/config
# Write your default config options here!
vo=vdpau,xv,
vc=ffh264vdpau,ffmpeg12vdpau,
# added by virtual for alsa device
ao=alsa:device=plughw=0.3
# HDMI volume can only be controlled by the softvol konfigz
softvol=yes
softvol-max=300Unfortunately, still KDE defaults to another device and I cannot get sounds in KDE. Any ideas?

Re: Nvidia Mcp79 Hdmi - Alsa
Finally we have a solution:
/etc/asound.conf
# FINAL SOLUTION
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
ipc_key_add_uid false
ipc_perm 0660
slave {
pcm "hw:0,3"
rate 48000
channels 2
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_time 0
buffer_size 4096
}
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}alsa is working fine and I can get sound in multiple applications concurrently.

I'd be interested too ! Can't get alsa to work with 2.6.34...
(that's my first post here, just switched to arch yesterday

@ Neewok
Have you read the wiki? What's the problem, we need more info - are there any errors etc.
Here's a new thread, if you have problems, write hereThis thread is old and should be left alone, we yous want to contact the OP and ask him/her one question. Further discussion is discouraged.

Necrobumping is generally frowned upon, especially since you created a new thread for your issue already. Closing.
