> I'm very sorry that when you asked this question a month ago you didn't like my answer. It was never my intention to 'derail' your question with DE or pulseaudio. That said no one else has answered that question nor have they responded to this one that you posted yesterday. I think you are in a fairly unique setup that most people don't deal with but it is an interesting area. I'd still like to help if I can. |

Maybe derailed was a little harsh. I was appreciative of your answer |
| 10 |
either way, as I might have left out some necessary information to |
| 11 |
make you ask about those things. This is still very low level as far |
| 12 |
as I understand it, so I'm not completely sure how to ask about what |
| 13 |
I'm wondering :) |

There was 16 of these entries, /proc/asound/card1/eld#0.4 was my Acer |
| 21 |
monitor which I managed to get sound through with my command: |
| 22 |
aplay -D plughw:1,7 sample.wav |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Most of the others simply showed: |
| 25 |
monitor_present 0 |
| 26 |
eld_valid 0 |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
The connected TV was here: |
| 29 |
# cat /proc/asound/card1/eld#0.0 |
| 30 |
monitor_present 1 |
| 31 |
eld_valid 1 |
| 32 |
monitor_name TOSHIBA-TV |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
connection_type HDMI |
| 35 |
eld_version [0x2] CEA-861D or below |
| 36 |
edid_version [0x3] CEA-861-B, C or D |
| 37 |
manufacture_id 0x6252 |
| 38 |
product_id 0x108 |
| 39 |
port_id 0x400 |
| 40 |
support_hdcp 0 |
| 41 |
support_ai 0 |
| 42 |

| 50 |

sad1_max_bitrate 640000 |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
All of this is quite cryptic to me, so if you can glean any useful |
| 56 |
information from it that would be great. The monitor output is fairly |
| 57 |
similar if you exclude the sad1*-lines at the end, the most prominent |
| 58 |
difference being the speakers line, which only listed '[0x1] FL/FR' |
