The speaker isn't turned off in the BIOS is it?
No it isn't but I'm not trying to use the PC speaker. I am trying to use the speakers in the monitor by sending sound down the HDMI lead.
As I have stated I can get sound out of the inbuilt sound chip on the motherboard and, for now, that'll do.
As I have not need yet for HDMI sound, I've never investigated it but a quick google for 'hdmi sound not working linux' produces this :- ========== you have to edit your grub config. open /etc/default/grub with your preferred text editor and look for GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT and add radeon.audio=1 to the end of it.
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
becomes
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.audio=1"
now save the file and run update-grub ==========
Would this happen to be on a Pi as I might well run into the same problem later and it would be useful to know if it is?
