I have a netbook running xubuntu and when I connect it to a TV via HDMI, the sound continues to come from the netbook rather than from the TV.
I googled for some fixes and couldn't find any quick fix that worked.
This should "just work" in my opinion. It does in Windows and I'm sure OSX makes it just as painless.
- VLM 13y agoWhat does "just work" mean? I have a mythtv frontend that squirts its video out a HDMI and audio out of a optical fiber to the surround sound system. It would drive me crazy if sound came out of the horrible TV speakers instead of the surround sound system. Two separate problems: 1) Default behavior where no change is the least surprising so at least that is OK. 2) Modify config where its obviously a fail if you can't figure out how to change the config. For whatever its worth, if you use ALSA, mythtv is ALSA compatible, so I merely go into "config" "audio" and mess around with audio options to my hearts content.

- parfe 13y agoQuickfix: Install pavucontrol. You can control on a per application basis which output to send audio to and move the stream on the fly. It doesn't "Just work" in windows. Windows will set a default and send all audio to that device without any controls for moving audio from one output to another. I have to restart my browser if I want to move from watching netflix on my monitor to my TV.
