[Matt Devo]

Thanks Matt and everyone. I decided to run your script and make sure my coreboot was up to date, so I ran option 5.

Then, I loaded up the latest version of OpenElec via USB successfully. It boots to Openelec in moments now flawlessly.

Sadly -- I still have the HDMI audio issue. My Chromebox is passing video just fine, but no matter which Audio Device I select for output, it does not seem to want to pass HDMI audio. I tried two different cables on two different receivers / TV's with no luck.

Any users in here with advice, much appreciated.

Matt, the software you wrote is elegant and helpful. Much gratitude for your efforts.

I assume you have configured the audio output device and its capabilities via XBMC's settings? You may need/want to change the settings level to advanced or expert.
