everything was fine using hdmi, but the speakers on my tv are a bit crap.

so ive tried getting the sound through my HiFi by plugging RCA cables from the atv1200 to my HiFi.

there's no sound coming through at all on the HiFi, is it supposed to just work automatically straight away , or is there some android or xbmc setting that I am supposed to change?

Bear,
I am in the process of a relocation so today i got to play a little with it in to a tv and found a bit like your problem..

its an older tv..
so no HDMI in only CBV inputs (HDTV) - Picture is 1080p 60Mhz - working well..
but no sound.. and can not change with in sound settings..
But..

I tried a HDMI to VGA passthrough box I have got..(I use it with the TF-001 for presentations out to Projectors)
I am getting shitty HDMI\VGA reception in to TV and no sound..

But dam.. going back to CBV output to TV..
With HDMI still plugged into the passthrough box..
and AVI cables out of passthrough box in to TV.. I am getting sound..
(hope that makes sense)

My Rom seems to only be able to play HDMI sound outputs at the moment..
I am going to be a few weeks before I settle in to the new place, so wont be able to test further.
Just glad I got some picture and sounds via this workaround for the next week as I live among packing box's.
