Message   Tiny    All   Linux HDMI Sound question   January 8, 2025
 6:21 AM *  

Hi All,

Is anyone running Linux and using HDMI sound?

Here's what happens over here, and I have spent a few
hours on google and know the issue... I just don't know if it
can be fixed somehow.

Launch a full screen game let's use an old Dosbox one called
Tex Murphy - Pandora Directive, this is the GOG version with the
linux installer.

Game launches full screen.  Video starts playing no sound.

ALT-ENTER to shrink the window, now I have to select mixer change
the output back to HDMI and sound works.  Hit ALT-ENTER for FS and
because of the pause (I assume) of the monitor going blank for a second
while it figures out it's existence in the universe.... NO SOUND.

Switch back to mixer and the device has been disabled by the OS.

Lots of people have run into this issue on the forums, but no one seems
to have an answer.  I'm  Asking here because we have a smarter then
average group of people.
