Picture is fine now for me, but the sound seems to be another matter:
**@adriele:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: VT1708S Analog [VT1708S Analog]

So that seems fine I guess. But then doing this;
********@adriele:~$ speaker-test -Dplughw:0,3 -c2

Playback device is plughw:0,3

^C
And as far as I can tell, that seems ok. But still, no sound
Ill try the script thingie now. There is one thing I notice when checking alsamixer tho, and that is that I cant actually mute, or umute PCM.
A little sidenote tho, I know my reciever handles sound and video over hdmi, as the popcorn hour i had was connected like that.
Hackily: Could you take a picture of how your alsamixer looks?
Tested with xbmc live now, and set it to hdmi and no problem at all. Well, there was some sound lag on some of the series, but the music went totally fine. I dont get it. I also tried removing all the pulsepackages, but sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio* told me I had none installed apparantly. I am lost. So any help on how to make ALSA the default "thingie" for sound would be awesome, preferably with a way to disable pulseaudio if it is infact that causing it.
IT WORKS! YEY!
For anyone else having this trouble on their asrock ion 330 (or similars) try replacing both the passthrough and that other thingie where it says default to plug:hdmi
No need to run any updatescripts for alsa either, no need for the asound thingie either. Didnt do that this reinstall of the system (after I screwed up to much the last time I tried) God, what a relief!
