Great instructions...even a novice like myself can follow them. Much appreciated.

Need some assistance / guidance on audio. I just bought an Asus Chromebox, followed the steps outline on the Page 1, created a stand alone OE...and frankly everything works. everything that is but the audio.....its brittle and scarcthy. Just cant seem to figure it out. Any one else have similar issues...if so how did you guys fix it.

Thanks

First I've heard of that issue on a ChromeBox. HDMI audio? connected to what AVR or TV? playing what format/sample rate audio? In what container?

Matt, thanks for writing back. Here is the info you requested,
1. HDMI connected from Chromebox to TV, I dont have an AVR
2. Audio Output: HDA Intel, SYN 532-B12 on HDMI #0
3. Format (obtained by hitting O): aac, 48000 Hz, stereo, fltp
4. As for container is prevelant in all mks, mp4 etc. the only one I see a slightly better quality is .avi

Is there anything else that I can share with you. I really like my ChromeBox - its super fast...but I am trying to determine if the audio issue is surmountable or not

Also to note:
1. This is an old Olevia TV - trying to see if the issue is replicated on newer TV
2. Just ordered a replacement HDMI cable to rule out if it is a cable issue (although this TV and cable worked fine with my old ATV1 and OE setup)

The best way to describe the sound issue is that it sounds cartoonish...

Thanks
