[OpenIndiana-discuss] HDMI and sound

[ken mays]

Professionally speaking, don't use the Nvidia audio processor for any serious work.Either use a good audio processor on the motherboard or a dedicated sound card/device (highly preferred).
I'm speaking mainly on the Nvidia audio processors integrated on their graphic cards. You can use it forBlu-Ray/DVD/Youtube/VLC playback for basic use. Anything display unit over a resolution of 1080p (1920 × 1080) is bad if you think of using it for high-end video/music streaming.
Again, use it only for very basic use. Otherwise, the audio processing becomes unstable.I suggest not using it at all, but if you do - heed the warning...

If you open audio control, there should be a selector
at the top for the device - maybe some controls are
not set up correctly.
