Hello.
I have a brand new Acer Revo 3700. I've installed the latest OpenElec for ION chipsets to it.
I have a picture but no sound. I'm using HDMI to my HDTV.
I've tried some settings like custom, plughw:1,7 etc like mentioned on forums but no luck.
Any advise please?
I also notice the picture looks great but is a tad jerky like it catches itself up or something?
Thanks. Mark.
Try following this guide:
http://lifehacker.com/5391308/build-a-si...-the-cheap
Excerpt: "If you want to use HDMI for your audio out, head to Settings > System > Audio hardware, then set the audio output to Digital. Set your Audio output device to hdmi, and set the Passthrough output device to hdmi. Last, enable Downmix multichannel audio to stereo."
I havn't tried it myself as I havn't gotten round to installing XBMC on my Revo 3700, am finishing off installing Win 7 at present....
set the output to hdmi
highlight the passthrough options if your amp supports it
then on the output device and passthrough device (if your amp supports it) options choose custom
worked for me
you haven't searched a lot have you?
the answer to your question is on the openelec website:

I know the guide mentions revo 1600, but I can confirm it works for the revo 3610 aswell, so it should work with the 3700.
Custom/plughw:1,7 works on my 3700. You sure its not something simple like using hdmi/digital sound settings while playing back through LCD TV speakers? If so, try analogue/custom/plughw:1,7 and see if that works.
lefty's "solution" worked for me ... K/Ubuntu on a brand-new (as in got it yesterday) 3700
