Basically, no sound is coming out the television. I'm running out of idea of why?

Viewing the PulseAudio control panel, it's putting sound out the HDMI

Alsamixer is not mute

The Television is not mute. I booted into Windows and the audio out the HDMI works fine.

    In case you use the open source radeon driver you may need to enable HDMI audio with a Grub setting: http://askubuntu.com/questions/67113/no-sound-on-hdmi-with-radeon-driver – Takkat Feb 01 '14 at 18:52
  • @Takkat that worked perfectly. Thank you very much – Andrew Wei Feb 01 '14 at 19:01

    Glad you got it running :) +1 for the extremely well written question, but we probably have to close it as a dupe to the question I linked to. – Takkat Feb 01 '14 at 19:05
