No sound on HDMI with Intel NUC

[Fulvio]

Hello,

I have just installed Linux Lite on my new Intel NUC DE3815TYKHE, and I have no sound on HDMI. My system sound report says:

===========================================================
Sound Information
===========================================================

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC283 Analog [ALC283 Analog]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I found over Internet that, for another type of computer and another Linux distribution, someone says to change in etc/default/grub the line GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash radeon.audio=1" and then reboot, but I think that I should put something different than radeon.

Thanks a lot

Hello Fulvio,

Please look in the Help Manual under Hardware, Sound Configuration. Make sure on the Configuration tab you have HDMI selected under Built-in Audio, something similar to this...

[Fulvio]

It works now!

Thanks, very easy.

No problem I'd recommend having a good read through the Help Manual when you get some free time, well worth the look and will answer most basic configuration questions.

[Fulvio]

Yes. By the way, in Windows too it is necessary to modify the sound configuration in the control panel to have the sound on HDMI.

Have you seen the video on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHItPeawY90) that explains how to install Linux Lite on my model of Intel NUC? But I had a hard time to install it, it took me some hours, because in that video they do not say that first you have to access the computer BIOS (pressing many times the F2 key after switching the computer on) and activate the eMMC drive, which was not activated. And then, always in the BIOS , you have to modify the advanced UEFI OS selection and set it to Linux. Sorry for the off topic.

They also, in that video, do not say that, even to install Linux Lite on the eMMC drive, you have to install in any case an SSD or an HHD in the computer in order to install Linux Lite, because, if the installation software do not find at least 5.7GB of free disk space, it will refuse to install.

Well, I just installed LL on a NUC with a 4 gig eMMC. Even though the install says 5.7gig, it still installed without a problem on the 4gig eMMC card.
