Priority: medium Bug ID: 65730 Assignee: dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org Summary: no sound via HDMI for Radeon 6850 mesa driver Severity: normal Classification: Unclassified OS: Linux (All) Reporter: jasontheparamedic@hotmail.com Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64) Status: NEW Version: unspecified Component: Drivers/DRI/R600 Product: Mesa
Greetings, this is my first bug report so I apologize if it is placed in the wrong section. I am unable to get sound via HDMI cable using the open source driver for my Radeon 6850. I have (X)ubuntu 13.04 32bit system, using mesa 9.2, as provided by the xorg-edgers ppa, using all appropriate updates as passed downstream by the ppa. Using the FGLRX driver does fix the sound issue along with providing a high level of hardware acceleration, but it does cripple me being able to play on some emulators due to the well-known buggy nature of the FGLRX driver. I already made a report on the askubuntu.com forums, but so far there has been no response. My motherboard's native sound card is broken, so currently I have my computer speakers plugged into the HD monitor, hence HDMI sound is my only choice at this time. Here is a link to my askubuntu question (so as to avoid duplication of effort with providing info).
