[fedora-arm] no hdmi audio on older tv

[Jiri Vanek]

Hello!

I have f29 (kernel-4.18.12-300.fc29.aarch64 ) on  machine, which is changing its place
from time to
time - between two TVs. Old, and older:)

Both are connected by HDMI. Video output is fine, even acceleration is working,  but sound
work only
on newer of those two.

I don't know if this is regression, because this machine replaced 32b rapbery2 with
kodi, which was
working without issues on both TVs (but was eaten by (not mine) dog)

I was following https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_sound_problems but had not
found much:
 - with removed pulseaudio, the aplay -vv segfaults
     - I really on pulseaudio anyway, as I need to transfer sound to this machine over
network

 - the diff of alsa-info.sh's is really minimal [1], only
[cite]
state.vc4hdmi {
	control.1 {
		iface PCM
		name ELD
		value '100007006712000100000000000000004c2d9d02
for non working and
		value '100007006712000100000000000000004c2d9b03
for working
[/cite]

  - when alsamixer is opened, then the default looks like working, and the job on old tv;
but not do
nothing older tv.
  - when alsamixer -c0 is opened, then the  vc4-hdmi reports no control for selected
device for
*both* tvs (which is same as f6 and selecting vc4-hdmi)

Does anybody have a clue what to try?

 Thanx in advance form java world,
    J.
