</div>Or tell the kernel to completely ignore the ELD (which is what is<br>
checked for audio characteristics, not the EDID).<br>
<br>
Add to etc/modprobe.d/whatever.conf the following options:<br>
<br>
options snd-hda-codec-hdmi static_hdmi_pcm=1<br>
<br>
Having said that... if you hear no audio at all, that won't fix<br>
anything, this only tells alsa drivers to not restrict the output<br>
capabilities.<br>
You need to be able to hear something first, only then can you attempt<br>
to unlock digital passthrough<br>
