Re: ALSA HDMI output not detected

Hi,

there is no ELD file in /proc/asound nor /proc/asound/card0
On the EDID side, do you mean any EDID from any HDMI screen ?
I thought EDID file was screen dependant.
I know the screen is HDMI sound capable because I am using it with a 
raspberry without problem... :-)

Regards,
Sam
