I just updated from version 3.2 to 3.6 and I cannot get the audio to work with the same asound configuration. It worked flawlessly in 3.2.

I would like the audio to go over the HDMI. Thanks in advance!

Here is some output:
aplay -l

Hello egblue,

Please check if following kernel parameter helps:

Code: Select all

radeon.audio=1

Fathom:

Thank you for the prompt reply.
Do I need to change the grub.cfg line to linux /boot/vmlinuz quiet radeon.audio=1?
Are there other locations where the kernel parameters need to change?

Thanks,

Change it in the /boot/isolinux/ixolinux.cfg as well - in case your PC uses BIOS for booting.

I changed the line to "append initrd=/boot/initrd.xz quiet radeon.audio=1" in both /boot/isolinux/ixolinux.cfg and /boot/isolinux/efi/grub.cfg and still no sound..

Any other advice?

Thanks!

Maybe your customized ISO does not work for some reason. Have you tested your card in the wizard?

I think you may have to rise the volume first:

make sure your speakers are plugged, etc ..

If it does not work then i have no other ideas at the moment.

Fanthom:

Thank you for your help!
For some weird reason, when I removed the /etc/asound file, it started working..

Happy new year!
