I finally managed to get it running:

my problem was that i didn't upgrade alsa-utils to 1.9 which made it finally working.

Here are some steps that could help: - update alsa-base to 1.9 - update alsa-utils to 1.9 - stop your XServer, run "alsaconf", reboot

some system info:

hi,

i'm the owner of an "Acer 5920g" Laptop with the following specs:

• Nvidia 8600m GT
• HDMI Port
• afaik. Realtek Sound Chip

i've tried a lot to get the hdmi sound working, but still without success. As i can only find "requests for help" for this sound chip, perhaps you could help the lost acer 5920 owners and me.

things i've tried yet:

• updated kernel to vanilla 2.6.29.1 ( alsa 1.8a )
• updated alsa to 1.9 ( stable )
• updated alsa to "1.0.19.46.g516fa.506.gb750c" ( snapshot from

14.04.2009 )

• added the followng line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base: "options

snd-hda-intel model=auto"

result of aplay -L && aplay -l ist still the same:

Hopefully you have anymore ideas i could try, if you need anymore hardware information please contact me

thanks in advance, tifereth
