Can't switch sound to HDMI any more in Xubuntu 18.04
I was able to find a solution, when I was writing this question/post, though it was not easy. Since I have already written it, I leave it here as reference.
I am not able to make HDMI my sound output. Previously I had switched manually in the sound settings to HDMI sound output, and later I installed the sound switch indicator (2.1.1). It worked last time when I tried, which was a few months ago. Due to the time passed since then, I can not tell what has been changed. I do not know how to debug it.
The sound switch indicators debug output tells me the following
INF # Card[0], port `hdmi-output-1` selected
ERR Failed to map card[0], port `hdmi-output-1` to a stream
Getting the possible output names with aplay -L and testing them, I was able to test the sound on the HDMI.
speaker-test -D hdmi:CARD=HDMI,DEV=1 -c 2
The HDMI sound works, I just do not know how to channel the sound from the browser to the HDMI output.
On the other hand pulse audio does not sees this output:
zoltan@aprosag ~ $ pactl list short sinks
2 alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz IDLE
After restarting alsa with
sudo alsa force-reload
Pulseaudio sees the HDMI output both in command line and in the graphical interface:
$ pactl list short sinks
0 alsa_output.pci-0000_00_03.0.hdmi-stereo-extra1 module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz IDLE
1 alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-stereo module-alsa-card.c s16le 2ch 44100Hz IDLE
After that the indicator switch works as well.
