Stop all that messing about and use -
Custom: plughw:1,3
in both Audio and Passthru.
I struggled for a bit, but managed to get it working on my cleanly installed R3700 this way.
(Used to be plughw:1,7 on Eden B2).

I "solved" the problem by using the optical out (SPDIF) of my Revo....That works like a charm....

Hi all,
I am running into the same problems as mentioned here with my Zotac Box.
Interestingly enough, I can now use
plughw:1,3
on both the audio and the passthrough devices.
This makes me hear audio perfectly via HDMI.
But in order to not have to turn my TV on which is the first receiver of HDMI signals, I wanted to make use of SPDIF.
But I cannot find any plugh:xxxxx or other audio setting to make this working
What I tried:
plughw:1,0
plughw:1,1
hw:1,0
iec958:CARD=NVIDIA,DEV=0
No luck.
With Dharma, as far as I remember, no issues. Even not with the live CD I am currently working with.
And: with Win7 no SPDIF problem either.
So what's broken here?

Hi,
Are you (people who have this sound initialization problem) using A/V sync (in settings => video => Playing) ?
I have this problem too, turning off A/V sync makes everything works (but no A/V sync...).
More weirder, I have this problem with "not-default" skins (Aeon Nox/Alaska), if I use Confluence, then no problem.
In case that could help...
Regards.

hope someone can help me. I have the same problem.
With the custom settings plughw:1,3 i get white noise from the tv speakers. Tried every possible custom setting that is written in this thread but couldn't get the audio to work. I don't have A/V sync activated and the TV doesn't have a SPDIF input.
Hope someone has another idea how this problem could be solved. With dharma i had no problems activating the audio output through hdmi.

Do you get sound with this command?
aplay -D plughw:1,3 /usr/share/sounds/alsa/Front_Center.wav
If yes, first try non passthrough in xbmc. plughw:1,3 does not work on my id80 for some reason but plug:hdmi:NVidia does.
For passthrough custom device use:
hdmi:NVidia
Note this is case sensitive.
If this does not work, you might need a probemask for snd_hda_intel
EDIT: rename your asound.conf while trying in order not to have a default device.
