Hello all,

I'm trying to get the sound over HDMI working on EEE Box EB1501 without success so far.

I had same kind of problems in Dharma but I somehow managed to solve them, now I'm stuck in Eden but I feel I'm near!

I unmuted all 4 SPDIF devices in alsamixer

aplay -l :

Code:

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 7: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 0/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 8: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 9: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

I can hear sound on two frontal speakers, but not on others (my setup is 5.0)

Code:

speaker-test -D plughw:0,7 -c5

I managed to get the menu sound (only) if I put this in /etc/asound.conf, but nothing in movies...

Code:

pcm.!default {
type hw
card 0
device 7
}

What can I do next?

Please someone help me

some more info:

Okay, I solved this by enabling the onboard sound card in BIOS, reinstalling XBMCBuntu, and just unmuting the SPDIF on Nvidia card in alsamixer.

Now I have only stereo sound, no multichannel, I'll open a new thread for this.
