[MS-7623, ATI R6xx HDMI, Digital Out, HDMI] Pulseaudio fails to detect card

[Josh]

No sound using ubuntu 13.04

Using ATI-Radeon graphics card (5xxx) to an HD monitor via HDMI cable.

Checked alsamixer - it lists my sound cards. it says S/PDIF is off, which is my digital output.

No the cable is not unplugged, I wouldn't get video. Mute settings have been checked.

Additionally - Ubuntu-amd-catalyst AMD proprietary drivers are failing to install for the GPU.

You need to add radeon.audio=1 to your kernel command-line. TO do this, edit the file /etc/default/grub, and add radeon.audio=1 to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line, inside the quotation. So you probably have something like this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet"

With your edit, it should like this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="splash quiet radon.audio=1"
