No Sound - Linux Ubuntu on Kangaroo PC

<< < (2/2)

rcblackwell:
I went at it again this afternoon; searching for the reason why there wasn't any sound output from Linux. Although I'd searched for a solution on Google in past I knew I missed something and wanted to search yet again. This time my search revealed an article that helped me determine the problem. Turns out the HDMI output was working all-along. The problem was the output in JRiver Media Center was incorrectly set. Assuming the default setting should work, I never thought to change this setting until working my way through an article I found on Google.

Steps in the article helped me determine sound was working through the HDMI port. As it turned out, Sound devices listed on the Linux Sound page were not working, and thus I figured the issue was Linux based. Working through the article I discovered the default output setting in JRiver Media Center was not listed as a sound output device. Once I figured this out, changing the default setting to match an available device resolved the sound issue in JRiver. I've not fully resolved the sound side of things in Linux however I'm happy that I've been able to get JRiver working.

Lesson Learned: Don't assume the default settings of an application work. Verify each setting to ensure they're set correctly.

For those interested, the article that led me to resolving the issue is located at http://linuxiumcomau.blogspot.com/2017/10/fixing-broken-hdmi-audio.html.
