Graphics card stole my audio

[Maker]

Another non welding post.

Since putting a new graphics card (Quadro 4000) in my computer I've had no audio output from the headphone sockets (front or back of the case). I'm assuming this is because the Quadro has DisplayPorts which can carry audio so it's taken the job of processing sound off of the on board DAC but there's nothing plugged into the DPs (My monitors are DVI only).

Does anyone know how to make it use the built in headphone ports again? I'm using Linux Mint .


That dropdown menu (Couldn't screenshot it open for some reason) offers "Digital surround 5.1 (HDMI) output" and "Digital surround 7.1 (HDMI) output". There is no HDMI which is a little confusing but whatever it's set to, there's still no sound.

DVI and HDMI are interchangeable, so you probably do have 5.1 available. How you sort it out in Linux I haven't a clue I'm afraid.

I didn't think DVI could carry audio?

 

[Seadog]

It can't, but the video is the same. I've just re-read what you posted, It's DVI only

Can you not specify onboard sound in the boot menu rather than the OS.

Didn't think of that, I'll have a go now.

Sorted! Thanks a lot.



Someone had disabled integrated audio.

Off topic(as usual) what video/audio player are you using on your linux?
VLC has always been the dogs do das for me

Probably auto disabled when you inserted the new graphics card that can support audio. I have the same thing on my HTPC.
