Hi, I have a very similar set of issues (and have tried most of the same things) as Charlie0440. I was recomended to post in an ATI specif room. The advice I was given was that i did not ahve the ATI drivers. My aplay -l looks like this

**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH], device 0: ALC892 Analog [ALC892 Analog]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 0: PCH [HDA Intel PCH],device 1: ALC892 Digital [ALC892 Digital]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
card 2: Generic [HD Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

Have tried plughw:2,3 in custom setting but no joy.

So my two questions are:
1) How does one install audio drivers on a live install (ie I'm running xbmc off a USB drive as an installed program)
2)How can I FTP into the XBMC to look at the files like text files I creat with the aplay-L?

Oh BTW I'm running ASRock H67M-ITX, 4GB Ram, A Radeon 6450 Graphics card Intel i3 2100 processor with Eden 11.0 I have HDMI connected to the graphics card and an optical Toshlink out for sound. Analog sound works fine using the generic driver. HDMI video works fine. The digital audio outputs give me nothing.

Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated. i have been trying to get this to work off an on for 4 weeks
