Hi there,

I've got an Acer AX3200 desktop computer which is being reassigned to HTPC duties. It has two VGAs (Hybrid SLI): 9300 GE and 8200. The 8200 is being detected as a 9200 by XBMC (whatever that means).

Note: I obviously dont expect Hybrid SLI to work on Linux.

Code:

02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation C77 [GeForce 8200] (rev a2)
03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G98 [GeForce 9300 GE] (rev a1)

I've managed to get video working through both HDMI ports. However, Audio will only go out the integrated port (8200/9200). I'd like to use the dedicated (9300) card primarily, having both video and audio outputted through it.

Is there any way I can force alsa to use that device in particular? .asoundrc?? How can I determine which device to assign the audio to?

This is my current .asoundrc (which works for the integrated device):

Code:

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hdmi"
}
}

aplay -l:

Code:

xbmc@XBMCLive:~$ aplay -l

DOes the card actually support audio out of both hdmi ports?

I have no experience of them, however my friend has something similar and was only ever able to get audio out of one port under windows too...
