Nvidia Graphics Card Sound thorugh HDMI (Qubes 3.2.1-RC1)

[casu...@gmail.com]

Hi There
Im just pretty new to QubesOS and to redhat distros in general (did a lot with gentoo, arch and debian back in time) but my question is, does it work to get sound thorugh hdmi from my nvidia graphics card on any vms? When I try to share the nvidia sound device the vms dont start. Could this be because I use nouveau instead of the official nvidia driver?
thx in advance

Qubes uses pulseaudio for audio, so you should first try to route audio to hdmi using pavucontrol from dom0. In the little volume widget in the tray (top right), drop down its menu and open the mixer (alternatively, just run pavucontrol from the dom0 terminal). Check if you can just route your audio steam to hdmi. If you don't see an option for it, maybe you need to select hdmi output in the output configuration options (last tab of pavucontrol).

Sorry if those directions are unclear, I'm not on my qubes system at the moment so I'm going from memory :]

Don't pass the device to a VM, sound from all vms is routed to dom0 and output via audio device set as default in dom0. You only need to pass an audio device to vm if it's a usb device and you're using sys-usb vm
