ati hdmi audio in gnome

hello all,

ok i have a problem, depending on what driver i use i can eather have nice graphics and no audio or bad graphics and nice audio,

if i use the opensource ati driver:
graphics are nice
no audio

if i use amd;s driver the graphics are currupt (depending were its rendering)
the audio is good

at the moment im doing a fresh build (again) using the opensource driver and going to play around with some configs.

if anyone has some ideas for me to try then please share

thanks
Phil

HDMI audio is turned off by default because it caused problems. You have to pass audio=1 to the radeon module to turn it on.

thanks for the reply gusar,

just added audio to the append line of syslinux but same problem,

gnome sound settings will not play back anything,
aplay just returns device busy

Re: ati hdmi audio in gnome

ok still no joy but,

i jumped onto ssh before i logged into gnome, aplay returned the following:

aplay -D plughw:2,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav 
Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav' : Signed 16 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Mono

rather then just device busy,
so i loged into gnome, then out of ssh, and it done the same on a local terminal

the only problem is i dont accually hear any sound, but its still a start to nothing i guess
