Linux No Sound over HDMI GT210
#1
Hey guys

Got a HP 5850sff here, with a Ge force GT210 in it

Installed the latest Eden XBMCbuntu from CD onto an internal USB drive, seems to be working OK but i get no sound via HDMI

Playing a movie says "failed to initialize audio device"

I got this on openelec too, but i had to edit some files as per a guide on their forums and it all worked, just was a little unstable for me, so i want to try this one out

Anyone able to assist?

In system > audio cycle through each audio output device try a video for each you might get lucky.

If not this got me up and running. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1033620

1st check the sound of not muted "sudo alsamixer" form a terminal if anything says mm unmute it by pressing m on the keyboard.

I am presuming you know how to get to the xbmc desktop, are you on xbmcbuntu?
