Hi!
I just got done installed xbmcbuntu on my Zotac HD-ID11 (Ion2) box and have been running into a number of configuration problems. One of them was the dreaded "failed to initialize audio" error. On Dharma, the audio just worked right out of the box. For Eden, the in menu sounds worked, but not when you play a file.
I stumbled upon this post...

That says to use a custom string, which is...
alsa:hdmi:CARD=NVidia
I tried this and it worked out great. Ironically, it's what was in my old config file from Dharma as well. I was wondering if this is a general problem with Eden, or if it's something that I'm doing wrong. Since lots of people of Ion 2 boxes, it may be good to try to get it fixed in the distro if others have the same issue.
