Hi guys,
first of all I'm miserable that I didn't find a solution myself, although testing all sort of things. So I hope that someone here is willing to help me.
The problem is not exotic at all from the looks of it, i just can't figure out how to get HDMI audio to work.
I have a ZOTAC Mag Mini (ZOTAC MAG HD-ND01), which is supposed to run fine with just the installation isn't it? However after like 10 clean installations of the latest live CD release (svn32178/Linux Kernel 2.6.32-24/Alsa 1.0.23) and several approaches in finding a solution, doing pretty much every step by step guide in any hdmi audio-thread, i still didn't manage do get it to work at all.
Here a few more infos:
zotac is connected via HDMI to Yamaha AV to TV (got picture, no sound though)
alsamixer:
in xbmc:
audio output set to HDMI
Speaker config: 5.1
DD capable receiver: yes
DTS capable receiver: yes
audio output device hdmi
passthrough: hdmi
in bios:
iGPU Frame buffer is set to auto (256)
btw. when i connect the zotac directly to the TV, i have sound fwiw...
At the moment I'm on a clean install once again and willing to do anything you tell me!
