After work with a multitouch screen for the BeagleBone Black, now I just want to play audio/sounds through the HDMI connection as the multitouch screen has a speaker.
First of all, I just copied an audio sample, and try to reproduce it by ‘vlc’, but next message is shown:
“Audio output failed. The audio device “default” could not be used. No such file or directory.”
Then, I have installed next tools:
‘alsa-base’, ‘alsa-utils’, ‘alsa-tools’, ‘alsamixergui’
But, when I tried to launch ‘alsamixergui’, the next message is shown:
“alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory”
And at “/etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf”, the content is:
# autoloader aliases
install sound-slot-0 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-0
install sound-slot-1 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-1

install sound-slot-4 /sbin/modprobe snd-card-4

options bt87x index=-2
options cx88_alsa index=-2
options snd-atiixp-modem index=-2
options snd-intel8x0m index=-2
options snd-via82xx-modem index=-2
Moreover, I have try with next commands:
‘alsamixer -c 1 (2, 3… 7)’
Having next output:
“invalid card index: 1”
Is there any way to reproduce any sound (*.midi, *.wav, *.mp3…) through hdmi easily?
