I've set the sound of my ubuntu install to "HDA Intel ATI HDMI (ALSA)" in "sound preferences" and i've got sound in every application except XBMC. (i'm using audio over HDMI embedded in an intel chip).
I've fooled around with the audio hardware settings in xbmc, but I can't seem to get it working. Is there a way to tell XBMC to use the sound preferences from ubuntu?

I allready enabled digital out, but I don't know exactly what to change the device line to, is there a document describing which inputs are accepted for that line?
I had to use the latest kernel and alsa drivers to get the HDMI audio working. I also have a .asoundrc which specifies the hardware device to use. This is all on a Shuttle sg33g5 (intel g33 platform).

Hello all,
I have been using my Shuttle SG335G with Windows Vista for about half a year. I have connected it to my Sony Bravia TV using only the HDMI connecter, which sends video+audio to the TV. I ran the XBMC Live CD (downloaded it on 3 March 2009). All but the audio output through HDMI seems to work. I changed the audio device setting to HDMI (manually typed it) but this had no influence. Does anybody know how to get this to work with the Live CD?
Cheers,
Jari

Unfortuanatly the audio drivers in latest XBMC Live still does not include HDMI support, they haven´t been updated on our base system (ubuntu mobile).
You can download and compile new drivers if you want though.
If you have problems please read

Hello Topfs2,
I'm fairly new to Ubuntu, Linux. Are you suggesting that I build an Ubuntu system from scratch and then install XBMC? Shuttle doesn't provide any Linux drivers for my barebone system. If you could be a little bit more specific, that would be great. Thanks for your help! Jari
