[opensuse-factory] No HDMI sound with radeon driver, works with AMD proprietary driver
If using the default radeon driver I can hook up a HDMI cable to my netbook and have the display show up perfectly on my TV/monitor. But the sound doesn't work, if I use pavucontrol (Pulseaudio) to switch the sound output of an application to HDMI the sound stops working completely. And the progress bar on the sound player (tested in Kaffeine, Audacity and mplayer) starts skipping through the song at 3seconds per second. Using the exact same setup if I have fglrx loaded instead it all works. This worked in 11.4 with the radeon driver, any ideas why there has been the regression?

Pass audio=1 option to radeon module. It was changed to 0 as default since some versions ago because the audio support caused more severe problems (supposedly).

Since it's a regression from 11.4 I've opened a bug to have it added to the release notes: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=729194 (I noticed that Arch has also shipped with audio=0 by default so I assume the bug is upstream and not specific to Opensuse).

Yes, it's the upstream change. Takashi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
