No Sound via HDMI on Kubuntu 16.04












2















yesterday I set up my PC with Kubuntu 16.04 and all went fine except that there is no sound via HDMI.
So I asked Google what to do, but I didn't find a solution for the problem.



That's the current state:



The output of aplay -l is

For non-german users: This means, that I can't use card 0, device 3 because it's busy.



When I run speaker-test -c 2 -r 48000 -D hw:0,7 I can hear the pink noise.



So I assume that there are some settings which have to be switched. But I don't know what and how.
Can anybody help me? I'm grateful for any kind of hint!



Best regards
Thomas

After updating to 16.04 I also had problems playing sound over HDMI. Up to now I had always been able to change the output with PulseAudio. Under 16.04 this option didn't appear anymore. After some clicking around I found a solution that makes this possible again. It's quite simple.




  • Click on the loudspeaker symbol in the lower right corner of the control bar.

  • Click on the settings icon in the upper right corner.

  • Click on Volume on the left.

  • Select the Advanced tab.

  • Here should be a built-in sound device out and a built-in sound device Analog Stereo Duplex.

  • Click on the button where it says Off.

  • Select an HDMI output.

  • Save.

  • Now the HDMI output appears at the Devices and there is once again in PulseAudio the button where you can adjust the output device.
