Hello, sorry if this has been answered else where I did search but could not find a solution.
I have just got a htpc, and it has an nvidia ion graphics card. At the moment I cant get any sounds to work.
I have installed the latest xbmc from the live cd to my hdd.
I tried to follow the guide here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=59877
But when I do I get an error when I try to start up my HTPC saying xbmc needs hardware acceleration, check hardware or something along those lines.
Im not sure if its due to the fact that I am using the 190 drivers, if this is the case can anyone tell me how to donwgrade to earlier drivers. I am a total linux noob, so please be nice.
I tried to install some drivers that I donwloaded from the net, but kept saying I am running X server and need to close it.
I tried init 3 and then running the installer as someone suggested but I still got the same error.
Note: sorry for no Tag on post wasnt sure which one to use as installed from live cd to hdd.
Many thanks.
Tom
