I resolved the Audio issue so Autio over HDMI is working now, thanks for help.
However, i still have problems to play a DVD smooth on my ASROCK using XBMC Live.
I have the SVN-R20654 Version with the latest NVidia Drivers on a bootable USB-Stick, VDPAU enabled. The system run with 1920 × 1080@50Hz (LCD_TV). When i look at the system performance while running the DVD is says that the CPU load is at about 30%.
I consider to give my ASROCk back, because of this performance issue.. has anyone any ideas what i can test to solve this ?

I read the forum up and down but can't find any answers. Maybe others out there will have the same problem, as the ASRock ION 330 is a very good plattform for XBMC.
The Setup:
I installed a basic Setup with Ubuntu Remix 9.04 on my ASRock. Run all updates and then I also installed the lates Nvidia Drivers and the latest XBMC. Everything so far works fine.
The Problem:
I can't get any Sound via HDMI to my receiver. I tested everything mentioned in the forum but no sound.
If I boot XBMC LIVE CD and change XBMC Audio Settings to "hdmi" everything works perfect. So it must be possible to get sound via HDMI, but I don't know how.
I'm a linux newbie. Is there anyone out there who has the same configuration an got HDMI-Sound working? Can you please provide a Step-by-Step HowTo for activating the sound via HDMI?

Are you sure your receiver decodes audio via HDMI?
Edit: that was a stupid question, given you say it works from the Live CD. Sorry!

that's why I'd rather not use ubuntu NBR for an XBMC installation
as stated before, first get rid of pulseaudio, and then it *should* work by using "hdmi" or "hw:0,3" as output device. else, you'll also have to install latest ALSA via the script.
