Linux Mint Newbie--Hdmi No Audio

2012-05-24 17:32:11

Hi,

I'm very new to Linux and would really appreciate some help trying to get it set up properly.

I've been checking out various LInux forums, but haven't had any luck solving this problem:

I can't get any audio through my HDMI cable. I tried following this suggestion:

Quote

1. Make sure the System Sound Preferences Hardware Profile is set to one of the analog sound options, e.g., Analog Stereo Duplex
2. open Terminal and run "alsamixer".  Unmute all the S/PDIF outputs, e.g., I had S/PDIF, S/PDIF Def and S/PDIF 1, and had to unmute two of them.  That left Master, PCM, and all S/PDIF's unmuted. Hit Esc to exit alsamixer.
3. Still in Terminal, run "gstreamer-properties".  in the window titled Multimedia Systems Selector, set the Default Output Plugin: to Alsa - Advanced Linux Sound Architecture.  Try Pipeline Test to be sure you get HDMI/TV sound output. Close that window.
4.Go back to System Sound Preferences Hardware Profile and select one of the HDMI output options, e.g., Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output + Analog Stereo Input.  Test Speakers to make sure you get left and right sound through the TV/Monitor.
5. That's it.  Close up.  Enjoy HDMI sound.

But I had no luck. However, that could be due to the fact that I'm so inexperienced at using Linux.

Does anyone here have any other suggestions on how I might be able to get audio?

Thanks very much.

Ceramic Water Bottle Dispenser

2012-05-18 22:41:12

Hi all,

I'll be in Bangkok next week and I am hoping to buy a ceramic water bottle dispenser like this one:

I'm not really looking for the wooden stand but the dispenser to place the bottle in. These ceramic dispensers are very popular in Central and South America, but surprisingly (to me) not here in Thailand. I've seen plastic ones in various shops, but that's not what I'm after.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks. Posted Image

2012 Honda Jazz Delivery

2012-05-12 23:07:25

Does anyone have information on delivery time for a 2012 Honda Jazz in your province/region? I've been told that in most of the southern provinces it is anywhere from 3 to 6 months, and most likely 6. My wife would like to take advantage of the first time buyer's incentive, and six months would put her outside the October 30th deadline. So she'd be willing to buy a Jazz in another region if the delivery time was guaranteed to be shorter. She's got her heart set on a Jazz, but if this is a nationwide issue, we'll have to start looking at other makes and models.

Thanks.

Cat Cdma And Linux

2012-04-26 18:45:27

Hi,

I use a CAT CDMA EC 150 dongle for internet access and am thinking about buying a new computer with only Linux installed (MInt or Ubuntu) and I am wondering whether or not the dongle will function. On the box that the dongle came in it only lists Windows and Apple operating systems, so I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with having this dongle work with a Linux distro.

Thanks.

90 Day Reporting

2012-03-05 09:17:18

I've booked a flight out of Thailand for the day before I'm supposed to do my 90 day reporting visit to the local immigration office.

I was wondering if I still need to do the 90 day report because I'll essentially be telling immigration at Suvarnabhumi where I'm living on the departure card.

BTW, I've already got my re-entry permit.

Thanks.
