    Turn on HDMI Sound Via Terminal

    Hi All,

    Just need to figure out how to switch my laptop to HDMI out using terminal. Any help greatly appreciated, trying to make a script that does a few things including the audio out. Thanks again

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    I don't know if the HDMI output will show up as a separate sound card or not. If it is treated as such, then you should be able to switch using the text-based alsamixer tool. F6 will let you select the sound card for output.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
