| 09:25 | ralix | morning |
| 09:26 | ralix | Someone is using the mpd on the Cubox I have problems with audio device. I would like to output sound over HDMI. |
| 16:11 | ralix | One could help me with my sound configuration? |
| 16:12 | frilled | ralix, does aplay -L show your hardware? I have mine disappear randomly after the latest batch of upgrades (probably kernel, but I didn't check yet) |
| 16:13 | frilled | It's now back after I reinstalled the alsa packages, but I'm not sure what caused it |
| 16:13 | frilled | ah, now it's gone again |
| 16:13 | frilled | need to look into this I guess |
| 16:13 | frilled | though I'm not using sound at all right now |
| 16:15 | ralix | Hi, i use archlinux and will play music over hdmi aplay -L show this: |
| 16:15 | frilled | and back, rofl |

| 16:16 | frilled | looks green |
| 16:16 | ralix | ok by me is the same :) |
| 16:16 | frilled | mine randomly disappears |
| 16:17 | frilled | I'm left with null and pulse, then |
| 16:18 | ralix | this is the dafault entry on my /etc/mpd.conf |
| 16:18 | ralix | audio_output { |
| 16:18 | ralix | type "alsa" |
| 16:18 | ralix | name "hdmi" |

| 16:19 | ralix | } |
| 16:20 | ralix | mixer: Failed to set mixer for 'hdmi': failed to attach to default: Connection refused |
| 16:20 | ralix | this is an error on start mpd |
| 16:21 | frilled | phew, I'm no alsa wizard. did you try the software mixer? usually the safer bet, but I really have no clue |
| 16:21 | frilled | rabeeh should be back in a couple of days ^_^ |
| 16:22 | ralix | ok Ok thank you anyway... |
| 16:23 | frilled | reading the error message makes me think the mixer device is incorrect |
| 16:23 | frilled | lemme see |
| 16:24 | ralix | yes, i have no idea what is the correct mixer device ;) |
| 16:24 | frilled | that is what I am trying to find out ;) |
| 16:27 | frilled | ok, at least I can replicate the error ^_^ |
| 16:28 | frilled | probably hdmi has no micer at all |
| 16:28 | frilled | which would make the software mixer a good choice, really |
| 16:33 | ralix | audio_output { |
| 16:33 | ralix | type "alsa" |
| 16:33 | ralix | name "hdmi" |
| 16:33 | ralix | device "hdmi" |
| 16:33 | ralix | mixer_type "software" |
| 16:34 | ralix | ok this have no error, but no sound ;-) |
| 16:34 | ralix | I'll keep trying... |
| 16:37 | frilled | that probably is because you have not routed sound to the dmix plugin. have a look at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ALSA |
| 16:40 | ralix | thx, i will read it |
