USB To HDMI Adapter

Does anyone know of a USB to HDMI adapter for Linux? Amazon.com only seems to have them for Windows and Mac. Or would they work with Linux also? None of my old laptops have an HDMI port. I'd like to know before I spend the money for one. Thanks much for any help you can give me! -Ed

HDMI Audio Not Working

I have just switched over from DVI to HDMI on a new monitor. I would like to feed the audio out over HDMI. Currently I get no audio over HDMI. Is there a setting to enable this? I am running Debian Wheezy with XFCE.

HDMI And Sound Optical Output Not Working

I just installed Debian 8 on a new ASUS z87-a and most things work fine right out of the box. However even though DVI and regular sound output work fine, I tried the HDMI connection but I have no sound and the image is just a blue screen. I tried also the sound optical output and got no sound either. Is there some special drivers that need to be installed for HDMI and SPDIF to work?

Sourround Sound Not Working On Linux Mint 17.1

Hello

I have linux mint 17.1 cinnamon installed on my computer, but the surround sound is not working (I only get stereo from two speakers)

When I run lspci I can see that my card is called

C-Media Electronics Inc CMI8738/CMI8768 PCI Audio (rev 10)

there is another embeded card that came with my computer called

[AMD/ATI] Trinity HDMI Audio Controller

but I have my speakers hooked up to the first one and I have selected this card in the "output device" option on the lower right hand side of the screen, and I have selected the sound setting "analgog 4.0 surround".

My surround sound used to work when I had windows xp and xubuntu installed on an older computer with the same surround sound card attached. So I can't understand why it is not working now.

Can anyone help me with this?

when I run

aplay -l

I get:

No Sound ALSA On Ubuntu 12.04

Hi I a running Ubunto 12.04 on a HP PC with an onboard intel analaog sound card

(ALC662) and a HDMI connection into my TV.
I use this PC for Mythtv and Kodi using the sound over HDMI which works a treat in MythTV however I cannot get the sound to work on Kodi, Firefox or any other app which I presume is down to misconfigured ALSA setup, I had this working previously but it stopped and I am not sure why, possible updates.

After Fresh Install Of Ubuntu 14.04 Everything Works Except Sound - Acer Aspire 11

This is very frustrating, I am not super computer geek but am able to google potential solutions on google.

All potential remedies so far have failed.

This is what I get when a put Alsamixer in the terminal

│ Card: HDA Intel PCH │
│ Chip: Intel Valleyview2 HDMI

and in the middle is two 00 and S/PDIF


If I go Aplay -l in the terminal, I get this.

No Sound On Debian Live Usb Using Pavucontrol And ATI RS880 [Radeon HD 4200] Audio

Hello everyone.
The sound isn't working on my debian live usb.
I've installed pavucontrol hoping that this would turn on the sound somehow. But it hasn't.

The program is showing RS880 HDMI audio [Radeon HD 4200] as my output device.
The play back bar moves when I play video on youtube but there is no sound.
On the configuration tab, I've tried all the options under 'built-in audio' - but none of these seem to work.


aplay -l

Not sure why there appears to be two sound cards...

On a Ubuntu site about a similar problem with the same sound card, they suggest creating /etc/asound.conf and adding code to it http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1647400
However, at this point, I'm a bit lost.
Can someone help please?

How Do I Use My AMD 280X To Render Game Graphics?

So total Linux noob here, so I apologize for poor wording or not being able to understand anything!

So I want to love Linux (mint, btw) I really do, but my one problem is that I can't run games because, despite having the HDMI cord running through the graphics card, Linux is for some reason using the Intel integrated graphics as a renderer. Now, I have no tools to totally confirm this (I primarily use MSI Afterburner on windows) other than noticing that any linux games I have run sort of poorly (none of the games I have for linux other than Witcher 2 are demanding enough to be obvious). So how do I (or can I even) use my AMD card as a renderer? After looking around for solutions, I've picked up that AMD/Linux support is sort of poor, but is it really excluding me from using my card at all?! Thanks!
