XBMC Live - Acer Revo HDMI Sound Issue!
#1
Exclamation 
Have installed XBMC Live following the Lifehackers guide and this one http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=53888. But am having some issues with sound via HDMI

I have created the .asoundrc file ftp'd it accross to Home/XBMC but I still get no menu sounds. Is this the correct place to put it?

Code:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hdmi"
}
}

I set my audio settings to -

Code:
Audio output (digital) - Digital
Audio output device - hdmi
Passthrough output device - hdmi
Downmix multichannel audio to stereo - ON

However, when I try and select either 'Video or Music' XBMC restarts. If I set the Audio output device and Passthrough device to 'default' then it works no problem.

Does anyone have any clues? Huh

Thanks All. I managed to get it working doing the following.

First I changed the etc/asound.conf to

Code:
pcm.!default {

type plug
slave {
pcm "hdmi"
}

}
Thanks Lefty!

However, when I selected 'Music or Video' I was back to XBMC restarting. So I changed my sound settings to..

Code:
Audio output (digital) - Digital
Audio output device - plughw:0,3
Passthrough output device - default
Downmix multichannel audio to stereo - ON

As described in http://www.revouser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=19

Then I ftp'd my .asoundrc file across, but still no menu sounds with the mouse, but I do get the sounds with the remote. That'll do me nicely.

Thanks again for all your help....
