Hey Guys.
For those of you suffering from the "no-sound-issue", this is how it worked for me to have sound:
For having sound at all I just used the following settings that should work for everyone I guess:
Custom settings for audio output and paththrough with this entry: plug:both
After installation of the XBMC Audiomixer plugin there was no more sound.
By default it muted the sound. So I changed that in the settings of the plugin.

I use a zotac ZBox ID34BD
Hope this helps Cheers!

too me a true htpc experience is to resemble a STB , and a STB has no Destop Environment or Windows Manager in the background

Why are you bitching about a desktop install having a desktop installed?

DONT USE IT. I NEVER see the desktop but its there if I want it.

it EXACTLY resembles a STB.
