[Bug 2111569] Re: No sound via HDMI on older Nvidia card (using nouveau driver)

 

kernel 6.6.63 and below - sound works well over HDMI
kernel 6.7.0 and above - no sound over HDMI

The kernels you were trying are from mainline? Could you pst dmesg logs
for both? If so, I'll try to check the commits related to NVIDIA hdmi
and find the suspicious commits.

Will build test kernels if required. Are you able to help test and help
find the cause? Thanks

Title:
  No sound via HDMI on older Nvidia card (using nouveau driver)

Status in alsa-driver package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  My Nvidia card is model GT710. This also happens on a GT 610 card.

  Both cards are no longer supported by official Nvidia drivers but for
  a media centre PC they are perfectly fine.

  Ubuntu 22.04 - video and sound work fine
  Ubuntu 24.04 - video works but sound does not

  I am not a very technical user but so far my tests with changing the
  kernel (in both 22.04 and 24.04)  have concluded the following:

  kernel 6.6.63 and below - sound works well over HDMI
  kernel 6.7.0 and above - no sound over HDMI

  I've tried to report this as a kernel bug but I get redirected to
  Ubuntu, then in the Ubuntu bugs place I have been redirected here.

  I am managing to use 24.04 successfully at the moment by using an old
  kernel but this is not ideal.

  Please help.

  Many thanks
