Bug Description
Binary package hint: pulseaudio
I've seen a few Nvidia HDMI's recently which have four HDMI codecs
connected to the same HDA controller. The problem is that we don't know
which one(s) of these four that is the real one. So people will have to
try devices "hdmi:Nvidia,0", "hdmi:Nvidia,1", "hdmi:Nvidia,2" and
"hdmi:Nvidia,3" to figure out which one is the right one. (And by
empirical testing we know that it isn't always the first one.)
While having a fix in the kernel for all these devices would be optimal, it isn't going to happen for 11.04, a workaround for 11.04 could be to show all four devices as different profiles for the card.
This is also the outcome of the thread starting here: http://
