hi guys
i have used various threads around this and the ubuntuforums sites to help me with my configuration.
as indicated above, i have the Asus P5N7A-VM which has Ubuntu 9.10 installed. The only additional aspects that have been configured are installing the NVIDIA-VDPAU repository drivers up to 190.53, updated ALSA to 1.0.23 and XBMC and XBMC-Standalone have been installed and installing Lirc for the remote.
this generally works very well, though now i am trying to maximise the sound capabilities.
i do not have an AV Reciever currently. All my HDMI sources connect to the TV. The TV then outputs via Stereo cable to the small amp that i do have. in this way, i keep the amp set on the same channel and no matter what i watch, the audio comes out.
i have basically followed a Revo inspired thread to enable the HDMI Audio
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=70754
this works, in that i get my audio delivered through the same channel on the amp, so must be coming through HDMI.
however, if i stop playing video playback or the episode ends, i often end up with a horrible repeating end-trail from the last piece of audio that is clipped.
is there a way to get rid of this?
additionally, i do not get the menu sounds. is this because i actually have the P5N7A-VM board and not a Revo? how can i amend this config to have menu sounds too?
there was also a P5N7A-VM specific guide for configuring with XBMC, including ALSA & HDMI Audio, but this didnt seem to work for me.

Comparing the 2 asound.conf files, they are significantly different. does anyone know that the impacts/losses/gains i might have from having completed the Asus config?
thanks
