does it support running audio through both the mini HDMI and the mini display port simultaneously? reason I am asking is I want to connect it to my hdtv and my receiver.. there will be times I will want to just watch a movie with the tv on and other times I might want to watch it through the surround sound

oh sorry I forgot to add ill be using windows 7 64 bit on it.

I think that in Windows you have to specify which audio output device you want to use. Also XBMC also makes you select one output device. So you are probably constrained by the software.

A modern AV Receiver should have HDMI passthrough, and allow the sound to go to the TV when it is turned off. I have HTPC->AVR->TV. When AVR is turned off the sound still comes out of the TV.

If you don't have passthrough on the AVR, then you could try via the TV. HTPC->TV via HDMI then TV->AVR via optical.

Tried enabling true full screen and it didn't work. XBMC just stops responding, mouse won't move, no "working", nothing. Then a long time later it will start playing, but seeking breaks it again. Are you guys running wired or wireless?

XBMC often does this when you have the wrong Audio output device selected. Try different audio output selections within the XBMC settings. (e.g. on my laptop if I have HDMI output selected, but no HDMI lead connected, then it stutters and stalls badly).
