At one time i got some navigation sounds, but not when I tried to play a video. XBMC always recognizes the audio as AC3, perhaps the problem is only there? The XBMCbuntu page mentioned there's a problem with that on nVidia drivers past 159.
I think I'll install again this weeked. If that doesn't work, I'll try a full version of Ubuntu.
I've exactly the same motherboard as yours and all sounds over hdmi are working.
Started with the minimal cd of ubuntu 10.10 and installed only openssh server
Added the following ppa-repository's
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ricotz/unstable
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:team-xbmc-svn/ppa
Installed Xbmc
sudo apt-get install xbmc xinit x11-xserver-utils xbmc-live -y
The latest nvidia drivers (260.19.29)
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current -y
And the latest alsa package (1.0.23+dfsg-2ubuntu1b1~10.10~ricotz1)
sudo apt-get install alsa -y
Unmuted everything with "alsamixer"
Added a config file for audio
sudo nano .asoundrc
With the following content
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hdmi"
}
}
After reboot changed in de audio settings to coax/optical (hdmi also works) 5.0 (channels) ac3 en dts checked on and the last two settings hdmi and hdmi.
A reboot too be sure and everything works, at least over here.
dutch is my native language so that would be easier (have a dutch manual ready) but i hope you'll understand
