I have my computer connected to my Sony TV, the HDMI video output works fine but I cant get the audio to work. I can see the HDMI output option in the sound settings but nothing happens. When I plug in my headphones the sound works fine

Do you guys have any solution to this ?

  • What happens if you connect your HDMI device and run in a terminal pactl set-card-profile 0 hdmi-output-0?

  • Sorry that command is not right. Try this: pactl set-card-profile 0 output:hdmi-stereo. As your system may also have different names for the interfaces you can try to just write pactl set-card-profile and hit TAB to see the suggestions.

  • @Salem I had the same problem and your suggestion worked. Maybe you can turn that into an answer?

You can try to run

pactl set-card-profile 0 output:hdmi-stereo

This should set the audio output to HDMI.

Open a terminal using CTRL+ALT+T and type in the following command:

sudo alsa force-reload

It works on 13.10 (for me, atleast.)
