[LIVE] Revo 3610 Audio not working

psnelson · 2011-07-20 04:16

Hello,

I have recently upgraded my Revo from 9.11 to Dharma and since the upgrade my audio (via HDMI) isn't working. I have followed the Idiots Guide as well as the Acer Revo install guide and neither have resolved the issue. When I look at the log file I see ERROR:Unable to open audio mixer, but haven't found any posts that help.

I have posted a copy of my log file below. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.

Audio Settings:

Audio Output: HDMI
Speaker Configuration: 2.0
Boost Volumn Level On Downmix: Enable
Dolby Digital (AC3) Capable Receiver:
DTS Capable Receiver:
Audio Output Device: hdmi
Passthrough Output Device: hdmi, I have also tried custom with "plug:both" and "plughw:1,3"

I have launched Audio Mixer from the Programs Menu and unmuted everything (even the Mic). Some of the components didn't have volume levels associated with them.

This is what I have. similar hardware (mine is Arock ION 330 HT)

Code:

Audio Output: HDMI

Speaker Configuration: 2.0

Boost Volumn Level On Downmix: Enable

Audio Output Device: alsa:hdmi

Passthrough Output Device: alsa:hdmi

I would make sure that you download the audiomixer addon (under programs) and INSURE all channels are unmutted

also since you are using Luicd I have alsa 1.0.24 and lastest nvidia drivers vdpau etc. on PPAS on my signature (RECOMMNEDED upgrades)

It all works just fine.

also have /etc/asound.conf with contents

Code:

pcm.!default {

type plug

slave {

pcm "hdmi"

}

}
