Also, open-source support for hardware decoding is nonexistent on 12.04 and therefore I do not recommend 12.04. With 12.04, transitions in and out of fullscreen caused multiple players to freeze/crash. Hardware decoding CPU load on GT 730 with proprietary driver, Ubuntu 14.04 is substantially better than on Ubuntu 12.04. hardware decoding (if implemented at all) worked poorly Va-api and digital audio passthrough not working Unknown (my testing might have been compromised by my errors) Untested yet (the Nouveau driver has difficulty with this new model) with open-source oibaf ppa and its mesa-vdpau-drivers: Vdpau, va-api, digital audio passthrough working with latest proprietary NVIDIA driver tarball and its bundled VDPAU driver: Status of my experiments on Ubuntu 14.04 so far: There are numerous technical details to work out and the process is not straightforward for someone unfamiliar with custom installing Linux graphics drivers or with using hardware decoding on various players that each require different 'command-line parameters'/'configuration file parameters'/'output device settings'. The system is still working fine with the Nouveau driver and Oibaf PPA but I never did get VA-API or HDMI audio working with it.ĮDIT: Many thanks to the kind forum members who helped me through this learning curve configuring Linux graphics for hardware video stream (bluray etc) decoding. Not so much activity on the ATI graphics. Just about every OS update broke the graphics driver and it had to be re-installed every time. The vanilla driver on the NVIDIA web site was causing some weirdness with Firefox and Flash, and I could not get DKMS to play nice with it either. I have not yet gotten 7.1 audio working but 5.1 is fine. Just checked the NVIDIA web site for drivers and found documentation indicating the currently supported latest version packaged by Canonical (nvidia-331-updates) now supports the GT 730. EDIT: As of today, I installed the Ubuntu 14.04 released driver for the NVIDIA GT 730 and it is now working fine with mplayer.
