HDMI audio on Current
by business_kid from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4Z5NH)
I can't get sound to go down the hdmi cable.
I seem to have this issue back in Slackware Current. I've had it before, I had a mega-thread in 2015 on sound, but I can't find it in a thread search. 'Aplay -l' shows me Code:bash-5.0$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC269VC Analog [ALC269VC Analog]

Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
bash-5.0$Now with something playing, I used to be able to open pavucontrol, select the 'Output Devices' tab, and find the HDMI in Ports, click on hdmi and sound came through the HDMI device. But now, I never see the HDMI device in pavucontrol, although aplay -l does see the card. I only get offered (joke) Speakers or headphones
How do I fix that?. BTW, lspci follows Quote:
