I am fairly new to Ubuntu, I have only been using it for ~2.5 months. Is there any way to fix the HDMI Audio, besides the proprietary drivers? If I need to report it as a bug where would be my best bet?
As stated in the title audio will not work via HDMI for the Radeon HD 7570. HDMI does not appear in sound settings and alsamixer does not properly recognize the card
I have tried all of the suggestions I've come across:
editing /etc/default/grub with "radeon.audio=1" (then update grub)
updating alsa-mixer
xorg-edgers ppa
mainline kernels (v3.9)
etc...
I forgot the rest, it's been a tough two months of trying to figure this out, sorry... :(
Running ubuntu 13.04,
Video card: AMD Radeon HD 7570,
Computer: Dell XPS 8500
HDMI also does not work on ubuntu 12.04 or 12.10 (catalyst does have hdmi audio but looks terrible).
AMD Catalyst (fglrx) driver does work for audio but the video is subpar at best, it's hard to read any text because of the blockyness, and runs awkwardly slow for some more graphics intensive programs. The Xorg servers are the exact opposite (audio doesn't work but video looks great, text is easy to read, and runs the more graphics intensive stuff better).
It might be worth noting that lspci erroneously displays "Radeon HD 6000 Series" for "Audio" but correctly identifies it as HD 7570 for video. Also alsamixer is showing "ATI R6xx HDMI" for card 1
I've included the lspci, aplay -L, and the info alsamixer displays below. If there is anything else that would help, please let me know.
I would appreciate any help I can get.
