Hi Guys,
I am a new XBMCbuntu user, having transferred over from a Windows 7 installation, I have got my system running just about the way I want it TV card installed, backend setup, frontend working! However there are a couple of material problems I am hoping you will be able to assist me with:
1. There is no digital sound output through SPDIF. I have not been able to get any sound from my amp at all. I have tried a range of things including installing Pulse Audio (however the Synaptic Package Manager does not have the back end available so I stopped there). Note that I do not get any sound when playing media in the desktop or XBMC.
2. The video output through HDMI over scans. I have found a fix to this using "xrandr --output HDMI1 --set audio force-dvi --mode 1280x720" in terminal view. It fixes the problem for all resolutions until the box is reset. I would ideally like to set this up so it occurs every time on start up. I have read up about xorg.config however I do not believe it is not used XBMCbuntu and have not been able to configure Nvidia X server - the Nvidia application does not have any monitor specific controls in the interface.
I am using a Gigabite Brix i3, I have not made any changes to the hardware with the exception of installing RAM and a hard drive. I have installed the latest XBMCBuntu - Gotham (OS). http://www.mwave.com.au/product/gigabyte...en-ab52251
HDMI connection to a projector (no overscan changes available - Dell MP5100)
SPDIF connection to a Denon 3803 7.1 channel amp that accepts Dolby 7.1 and DTS-ES
Media is on a NAS
Any help is appreciated - let me know if there is anything else that would assist.
I have been tying myself in knots for a couple of days now. Thanks.
