Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.7.3) OS: Linux I have hdmi audio set as default but when I go in to kaffeine, dragon player or amarok the sound still goes through my laptop. A couple of random times it would go through dragon player. Testing the hdmi audio output to my receiver works. In other words I can here the sound going through to the reciever. I can only guarantee that my hdmi audio will work if I use VLC and go to the settings and bypass the audio output set in kmix. I have the vlc and gstreamer backend. No difference. I remember being able to fix this in Kubuntu somewhat. I use KDE in Chakra and Arch Linux and this problem occurs and is very annoying. I have tried in both distros setting hdmi as default for video and sound and even all the categories. I do not have this problem in Gnome 3. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: Set Video and Audio to Digital Stereo HDMI output or something like that Set laptop to output through HDMI to tv/reciever Open Dragon Player or Amarok and play a video Actual Results: I setup hdmi audio output to default in KMIX I test the speakers and surround soudn works I close KMIX I open Dragon Player and there is a small chance that my sound will go through the hdmi output and not my laptop speakers The same thing in Kaffeine, Amarok Expected Results: All Applications by default should follow KMIX settings Adobe Flash Player almost always follows the KMIX settings in Firefox/Chromiuim 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 5 Series/3400 Series Chipset High Definition Audio (rev 05) Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Device 0379 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 42 Memory at f0800000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [60] MSI: Enable+ Count=1/1 Maskable- 64bit+ Capabilities: [70] Express Root Complex Integrated Endpoint, MSI 00 Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 0: ALC272X Analog [ALC272X Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: Intel [HDA Intel], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0] Subdevices: 0/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
This is somewhat fixed in KDE 4.8.1. I can effectively and manually set in kmix > audio setup > audio hardware setup but device preference is still not respected.
Still a problem? If so debug output please. techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Debugging/Phonon
