I'm pretty new to Linux but have some terminal experience from networking/IT classes. I've tried searching (a lot) but can't figure out what I need to do .
I'm on Ubuntu 17.10 and using the system as a HTPC. My video card is an older ATI Radeon HD4650(RV730). I'm using the open-source "RadeonDrvier". The HDMI output of the card is connected to a 7.1 AVR and then a 4K HDTV.
My problem is that I can't get anything other than stereo to be output. When I go into setting>sound I see the card, but the only profile listed in "Digital Stereo (HDMI) Output).
I think that the problem is that my EDL (from /proc/asound/card0/eld#0.0) shows sad0_channels and sad1_channels shows "2".
Also, alsamixer only shows S/Pdif.
I know a the common response will be "buy a new card" but I am disabled and beyond broke. I have two of these cards and they work fine on Windows, I'm just hoping I can find a fix until I can afford a new 4K GPU.
Thanks in advance!
