Error installing oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms while getting HDMI audio to work on TV

I am trying to connect my 64 bit Ubuntu 14.04 Dell Inspiron laptop to my Sony LCD TV with HDMI.

The video works, but the audio does not. It continues to give audio from the laptop, not from the TV. There is no problem with my TV as it used to work with another Dell laptop with Windows 7.

If i go to System settings -> Sound in Ubuntu, the HDMI device is not listed under output. But aplay -l command does list out HDMI sound cards :

faizal@faizal-Inspiron-3537:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: HDMI [HDA Intel HDMI], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]

Here is what all i have tried to resolve :

Based on https://askubuntu.com/a/117773/279330, i tried :

speaker-test -c 2 -r 48000 -D hw:0,3

The test was successfull and the HDMI is now listed in sound settings. But the audio still does not output from the TV.

Then i try the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Audio/UpgradingAlsa/DKMS i.e. I install DKMS, download the ALSA package and then run sudo dpkg -i <filename>. But i get the error during install :

Selecting previously unselected package oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms.

dpkg: error processing package oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms (--install):

Can i try something to fix this?

Solution 1:

Solved! After the ALSA upgrade failed, i opened Software center. It showed me an error that some module is not right and gave me the option to repair it automatically. I did and then ran the install again(sudo dpkg -i filename). It worked this time. Restarted the system, chose HDMI output from sound settings and voila!

I think the problem was that i forgot to install DKMS initially(the error message makes it pretty clear). So Software center must have installed it for me during the repair.
