[mythtv-users] Sound in mythtv but no where else

[Kevin Johnson]

Hi all.  I have been searching for weeks and have not found a solution.

No hdmi sound at all on desktop,youtube, or xbmc.



I have sound in mythtv no problem.  Configured as ALSA:hdmi:CARD=NVidia,Dev=1



kernel = 3.2.0-27-generic

Processor = Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2100 CPU @ 3.10GHz

video = gt430

mythbuntu = .25 latest fixes

alsa = 1.0.25

nvidia driver = 295.40

I have tried every possible solution I can find on the web and NOTHING 
gets me hdmi 
No variation of asound.conf has worked.
There is no sound in the desktop or anywhere else except mythtv.



Yes, I can use the spdif output for mythtv and everywhere else.  
However, the spdif out has a very loud and annoying popping sound when 
exiting and entering live tv.



So I want to use hdmi.  And hdmi should work right??



Suggestions?  Am I missing something simple?

Is mythtv not allowing other programs to use the hdmi sound?

Yes, alsamixer is all unmuted.



Appreciate the help.

I posted results from the alsa info script here,
