Hi all,

I just bought an Arctic MC001 and installed XMBCbuntu on it. Almost everything works out of the box. The only thing that I cannot get to work is Audio over HDMI.
Here are the specs and the recommended (Windows) drivers of the device: http://www.arctic.ac/en/support/download...9&pid=9908

Do I need to install specific drivers?
How do I have to set up /home/xbmc/.asoundrc ?
Could anyone help me get this to work?

Thanks in advance for your help and ideas.

Try to set custom device:
plughw:1,3

and for passthrough:
hw:1,3

you can try this /etc/asound.conf:

Code:
pcm.!default {

  type plug

  slave {

    pcm "hw:1,3" #delete the first hash for sound over hdmi

  }

}

A friend of mine figured out that setting audio device and passthrough to plughw:1,3 did the trick.

@pace2000:
Jep this is correct :-)

I looked it up wrongly
