ASUS M3A78-EM AMD 780G (pulseaudio)

johnnius · #1 September 22nd, 2008, 03:37 PM

I bought this motherboard because of the integrated HDMI port (boxee looks incredibly sexy in 1080p), and the (relatively) decent IGP. In Ubuntu, I can get sound and video working fine through the HDMI cable, but I get no audio love from boxee. I believe this might have to do with the boxee asound.conf file?

Does anyone have any experience with this or have any suggestions? I have everything working fine now with the speakers just plugged into the soundcard, but I would prefer to have the audio on the HDMI for obvious reasons.

Also, does anyone have pulseaudio playing nicely with boxee? Would make for cool functionality to throw music around the house.

I believe the problem is with in Ubuntu, and not Boxee. I don't think there is currently away for audio over HDMI with the 780G chipset.

If you do know of a way please let me know!

I totally got this to work. There is one small glitch, (I'm hoping intrepid fixes this). I will post details when I get home from work tonight.

Sorry, emegency road trip for work.

All I really did was install pulseaudio, and make a modified asound.conf file specifying the HDMI as the default card for everything. I suspect I didn't need to install PA at all, actually.

I will post more details when I can

this worked for me, after a restart:

Code:

sudo rm /etc/X11/Xsession.d/70pulseaudio
killall pulseaudio   
sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio     
sudo apt-get install esound
