Have you encountered this kind of problem?

Hello!

It is strange that you do not see any of the sound cards in the Ubuntu desktop sound settings.

I have not seen any issues with audio for working via HDMI …

$ speaker-test -D hw:tegrahda,7 -c 2 -r 48000 -F S16_LE -t sine -f 500

What version of Jetpack/L4T are you using? Have you made any changes?

What does ‘pacmd list-sinks’ show?

Jon

jonathanh · July 19, 2021, 8:51am

Hello!

So speaker-test seems to run. Do you not hear any output? What HDMI device is the TX2 connected to?

Regards,
Jon

Calmcar-Bao · July 20, 2021, 3:34am

No sound ，Display with speakers

Calmcar-Bao · July 20, 2021, 6:30am

I found that tx2 28.2 has sound ubuntu16.04

But 32.2.1 does not ubuntu18.04

jonathanh · July 20, 2021, 7:23am

Hello!

That is strange that 32.2.1 does not work. I don’t recall any issue with 32.x. However, 32.2.1 is not the newest 32.x release, please can you try the latest …

https://developer.nvidia.com/embedded/linux-tegra#32.5.2

Regards,
Jon

Calmcar-Bao · July 21, 2021, 5:45am

Doesn’t this version work?

jonathanh · July 21, 2021, 7:50am

Hello!

As far as I know it should work, but given you were trying different versions and that this is an old version could be worth trying the latest. Any reason you want to use 32.2.1 and not the latest?

Jon

Calmcar-Bao · July 26, 2021, 3:42am

Some of our drivers are adapted to this version,
If the sound card is ok, Why is there no sound from HDMI?

Calmcar-Bao · July 26, 2021, 4:13am

Or which ones are related to HDMI audio output? I’ll check

jonathanh · July 26, 2021, 9:35am

Hello!

Can you check that the HDMI output is not muted …

$ amixer --card tegrahda sget IEC958,1

If it shows up as ‘off’ then unmute …

$ amixer --card tegrahda sset IEC958,1 unmute

Jon

Thanks. So the controls you need to check are …

Simple mixer control 'h IEC958',0

Simple mixer control 'd IEC958',0

  Mono: Playback [on]

I have flashed the L4T r32.2.1 release on my TX2 and verified that HDMI audio is working fine both via the UI and speaker-test. So there should be no issues with this release. I am attaching a screenshot from my TX2.

If you have made some changes to the r32.2.1 release, you may wish to try the r32.2.1 release as-is with no changes and verify if that works for you.

Regards,
Jon

Calmcar-Bao · July 27, 2021, 10:33am

I did not find HDMI/DisplayPort2

jonathanh · July 27, 2021, 11:02am

There is no update from you for a period, assuming this is not an issue any more.
Hence we are closing this topic. If need further support, please open a new one.
Thanks

Hello!

Are you able to flash the L4T r32.2.1 release with no changes and verify again?

Jon
