How to get sound over HDMI working when using a TV?

wallarug
wallarug over 13 years ago

I have tried everything I could find on the internet but nothing has worked.  I have a HD TV and the Raspberry Pi is connect through a HDMI cable.  I have tried to change the config.txt file with hdmi_drive=2 (didn't work) and tried nothing in config.txt, I have tried sudo modprobe snd-bcm2835 as well but nothing I do seems to be working.  I installed vlc but it gives me an error: "VLC failed to initlalize your sound output device (if any).  Please update your alsa-lib to version 1.0.23-2-g8d80d5f or higher to try to fix this issue".  The help on the Raspberry Pi Forums is not very helpful...Example: "yep, got it playing videos, video games, and just plain music".  Can you please help me so that I can move on to some basic operations.  PS:  I have NO Linux knowledge so please be very specific with instructions.

    Oh, and you are probably already aware, but the search function on the Pi forums is about as much use as a fish on a bicycle, use a Google site specific search and you may get something a bit more useful in response.

    Steve,

      Does your unit have a CE/FCC mark?

     

    In message #12 of this thread:

    http://www.raspberrypi.org/forum/troubleshooting/kernel-panic-not-syncing-attempted-to-kill-init

     

    there is a photo (the last one) of what appears to be a sticker with a CE mark,

    but no FCC mark, on the back side of a unit from RS.
