NVidia HDMI not an option for audio output

jhizzle207 · 7 September 2021 12:30

Resolved HDMI video with these helpful steps: No HDMI output on either free or non-free

Found today however that no audio is available out through HDMI, it doesn’t appear to be a device option in settings.

Welcome to Manjaro!

Please read this:
How to provide good information
and press the three dots … below your post and press the to give us more information so we can see what’s really going on.
Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies…
An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information for us to be able to help you. (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.

P.S. If you want to notify me that you did provide this information, please this message and I’ll come back and have another look.

Fabby · 7 September 2021 15:56

Driver is loaded, so that’s good.

Have you tried another HDMI cable yet?
I suppose the HDMI is hooked up to a TV with internal speakers and not external ones?
If that’s not the case, remove the external speakers / amplifier / … and try again.

megavolt · 7 September 2021 16:00

Open pavucontrol and go to “Configuration”:

Nothing here?

Also:

It is a bad idea to have both enabled. Stop pipewire or pulseaudio.

jhizzle207 · 7 September 2021 16:08

Installed pavucontrol and it just shows the laptop built-in device (I do get audio out of the laptop speakers). No sign of the HDMI device.

Screenshot_20210907_120745

Stopped PulseAudio as I read somewhere PipeWire is needed for KDE?

jhizzle207 · 7 September 2021 16:09

Only have the one handy but it works on my other system, it’s an ASUS monitor with built-ins.

megavolt · 7 September 2021 16:16

So it is not possible to enable it on the configuration? I mean, when I disable the HDMI output on the configuration then it will also not be displayed on the output devices.

jhizzle207 · 7 September 2021 16:20

No I only see the one device for the laptop speakers.

I had to install pavucontrol manually fwiw.

megavolt · 7 September 2021 16:28

Are there 2 cards present?

jhizzle207 · 7 September 2021 16:29

Stop PipeWire instead of PulseAudio as PipeWire is quite new:

systemctl --user disable --now pipewire.socket && systemctl --user disable --now pipewire.service && systemctl --user mask pipewire.socket

(I’m on KDE and PulseAudio too and it works)

megavolt · 7 September 2021 16:45

ok my idea about this:

Since the AMD GPU seems to be the main, and it is hardwired to the internal card, I would say only the internal Soundcard can be addressed, as long as you use the amdgpu as main.

If you need the Nivdia Soundcard for the HDMI output, which must be hardwired to the Nivdia GPU, you have to use the Nvidia Card as main somehow.

Maybe you can switch it with the optimus-manager? Since I have no laptop with a hybrid GPU I can not assist here.

jhizzle207 · 7 September 2021 16:58

Did this and a reboot, no change unfortunately.

Post-reboot I found however that I still need to run optimus-manager --switch nvidia to regain HDMI output to my monitor.

Should I be setting this in a more persistent way somewhere that would perhaps detect HDMI audio as the system boots?

pobrn · 7 September 2021 17:42

This is unrelated, but hybrid mode, too, should theoretically provide access to the outputs of the nvidia gpu.

jhizzle207 · 7 September 2021 20:52

Strange, confirmed HDMI video works in hybrid but couldn’t test audio as it effectively locks up the system to where the mouse moves max 2 frames per minute. Reproducible.

Fabby · 8 September 2021 11:32

What does lock op the system? Playing audio or optimus-manager --switch nvidia all by itself?
How do you get out of the lock-up? Switching back or a REISUB?

If you tell me now “By pressing the power button”, please read all of this:

jhizzle207 · 8 September 2021 14:02

optimus-manager --switch hybrid causes it, its not a “smother it with a pillow” hard lock, but unusable beyond getting back to terminal.

Reversion to --switch nvidia clears it up.
