Hi guys,

A short guide on how to get the remote & audio to work after a XBMC Live Dharma Beta 4 install on your ASRock ION 330HT within 5 minutes:

SSH into your asrock and execute the following commands after having installed XBMC Live to your HDD:

1. Remote:

Code:

wget "http://europe.asrock.com/downloadsite/drivers/Nettop/Ubuntu/IR(10.04)2.6.32-25.zip"
unzip IR\(10.04\)2.6.32-25.zip
sudo dpkg -i lirc-nct677x-1.0.4-ubuntu10.04_kernel2.6.32-25.deb

2. Audio:

Code:

sudo wget http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=f5f9654bb -O /etc/asound.conf
sudo wget http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=f2e38265 -O /usr/share/alsa/cards/HDA-Intel.conf

In XBMC :
- use Audio Mixer add-on (Progams > Program Add-ons > Audio-mixer) and un-mute 'IEC958,1'
- Change both audio output devices (System > Settings > System> Audi Output)to "hdmi"

For reference (should the pastebin links timeout at some point) (credit goes to Reolio):

/etc/asound.conf:

Code:

pcm.!hdmi-remap {
type asym
playback.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm "remap-surround71"
}
}

pcm.!remap-surround71 {
  type route
  slave.pcm "hw:0,3"
  ttable {
    0.0= 1
    1.1= 1
    2.4= 1
    3.5= 1
    4.2= 1
    5.3= 1
    6.6= 1
    7.7= 1
  }
}
