I already set up sound output to HDMI, but when Ubuntu starts up no "drum beats" (startup sound)...
It have sound output normally elsewhere, but no startup sound...
I tried connect headphones to the jack 3.5 port but then I have startup sound, but I need in HDMI no in headphones because I connected them for just a test and TV is what I use...

So, how I get startup sound (the drum beats) when the Ubuntu startup?

My Ubuntu is "Ubuntu Desktop 14.04.1 LTS"

  • Click on the top right icon (gears) then click system settings, then sound. Is the "HDMI / Displayport" selected? If not, please select and log off and back on and report back. – Fabby Feb 12 '15 at 08:49

    @Fabby Yes, if not how I get others sounds over HDMI like music? and it's not a Mac have not a Displayport, it's a GIADA A51B-BP001 – DiogoSaraiva Feb 12 '15 at 10:27
  • You should have added that information to your question, then! ;-) The drum roll was dropped in 14.04 (you've probably upgraded from 12.04, right?) I've got a solution for that... Answer coming up! – Fabby Feb 12 '15 at 10:30
  • @Fabby no, I din't upgraded from 12.04, and If I select "entrada analogica"/"analogic input" and put headphones i listen the drums when I log in – DiogoSaraiva Feb 12 '15 at 10:36
  • Huh??? No clue then! Answer will be deleted in a few moments... – Fabby Feb 12 '15 at 10:40
  • Anyone?? This isn't solved yet... – DiogoSaraiva Apr 24 '15 at 21:36
  • Answer undeleted... – Fabby Apr 25 '15 at 17:37
  • @Fabby your anwser is a option but not what i'm looking for, because the drum beats don't dropped in 14.04. But maybe I will use your answer. thanks anyway... – DiogoSaraiva Apr 26 '15 at 12:32
  • I know, but that's what I use and it works well... – Fabby Apr 26 '15 at 12:45

The drum-roll login sound was dropped in 14.04. On the other hand, it's easy to add any log-in sound in 14.04:

  1. Go to the dash
  2. Open software center
  3. Search for vorbis-tools and install
  4. Go to the dash again
  5. Type startup applications
  6. Click the sole icon remaining
  7. Click Add

  8. Name= Desktop login sound

    Command=ogg123 /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/desktop-login.ogg

  9. Click Save
  10. Log out
  11. Log in

Done!

Obviously, to have any other log-in sound then the drum-roll, change the file you want to play to something else. (Mine has Majel Barrett saying "Authorisation acknowledged")

  • "The drum-roll login sound was dropped in 14.04" not is not, because I have a virtualbox VM with the same Ubuntu and in that machine I listen the drums without the vorbis tools... – DiogoSaraiva Feb 12 '15 at 10:40
