Comment 29 for bug 1020041

I saw this bug yesterday on an updated quantal system running on a Acer 1810tz laptop. I opened the gnome-control-center and selected the sound settings, then I could not see any hdmi output. This used to work in oneiric with the same laptop.

I however managed to play the audio through hdmi by using VLC and selecting the HDMI output device directly from there. This indicates that the device is working and reported properly by the kernel (since vlc found it).
