No sound via HDMI on my Yamaha RX-V465 A/V receiver

Hi,

I have a Yamaha RX-V465 A/V receiver connected to my TV via HDMI. The
Yamaha does have a HDMI repeater for splitting up audio and video.
When I connect my MythDora 10 box directly to the TV via HDMI there's
video and sound. So my setup seems to be ok.
But as soon as I connect my MythDora box to the A/V receiver via HDMI I
do not get any sound towards the receiver. The receiver tells me that
there's no audio input signal. But video is working fine then.

mplayer -ao alsa:device=hdmi putsomemp3here runs fine without errors.
But without any sound.

Yamaha support says this might be a hardware related issue and I should
apply the latest firmware for my HDMI equipment.
It's not a hardware related issue because when I boot windows on this
box, I have video and sound via HDMI to my Yamaha.

It's an ASUS M3N78-VM with the latest NVIDIA drivers (185 I think) from
the NVIDIA page.
Kernel is: 2.6.27.9-159.fc10.x86_64
I can not upgrade to the latest kernel because HDMI audio is not working
then.

Thanks for any help.
Bjoern

Check in alsamixer (command line) to see if the Audio device is enabled for HDMI. You probably have multiple IEC958 (or something like that... at work today so I can't look on mine). Enable them all.

You didn't say what happens when you go from the myth box to the
Yamaha directly or if you did I missed it. I just want to make sure
you are talking about the same setup in both myth and windows.

I had a similar problem with my spdif setup that was solved by
reversing the bits in the audio bits with this setting in asound.conf

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hw:0,1"
format S32_LE
}
}

Obviously yours would be different because your hdmi device is
unlikely to be "hw:0,1" but you might try adding the format line.
Without the format line, only one of my two decoders worked.
