So I installed dharma and then tried to setup XBMC. audio did not work out of the box, but thats to be expected as in the past. This time however, something, I think, is broke.
After fiddling with XBMC for a bit I dropped back out to gnome and tested a few things:
aplay -L
pulse
Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server
hdmi:CARD=NVidia
HDA NVidia, NVIDIA HDMI
HDMI Audio Output
thebard@XBMCLive:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI]
Subdevices: 0/1

alsamixer shows all 4 devices as being unmuted. It shows the nvidia as the one and only sound card (I have the built in analog sound turned off in BIOS)
if I run:
speaker-test -Dhdmi -c6 -r48000 -FS16_LE
I hear absolutely nothing. Zilch. No matter what I do I cant get anything out of the speakers even in gnome. gnome speaker utility is showing that the audio device is the hdmi stereo audio.
Is something funky going on with pulse audio on the live cd? Help, as I've pretty much run out of options
