Hi all, I'm new to these forums because until now I've had a fairly trouble-free life with XBMC over many years. I don't upgrade too often, and usually do a fresh install of Xbmcbuntu.
This time, I upgraded from Frodo 12.2 all the way to Gotham 13.2.
Firstly, I upgraded Ubuntu (the OS was so out of date I needed to use the "old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/" lines in my /etc/apt/sources.list (since changed back). I did a dist-upgrade one Ubuntu release at a time until I was on 14.04 LTS.
Then I ran "apt-get install xbmc xbmc-bin"... after a final reboot, it's on Gotham 13.2. I've lost some of my remote control functionality but I'll post another thread about that, however it mostly works perfectly - except audio!
Normally I use Passthrough audio to send audio from my Acer Revo with Nvidia to my Pioner SC LX81 receiver over HDMI, but now I hear no audio, and the passthrough option seems to be missing in my audio settings:

I've spent several hours Googling for solutions but to no avail. I'm starting to wonder if I should have done a fresh install, but it seems the XBMC mirrors might be down? The download link points to http://mirrors.xbmc.org/releases/XBMCbun..._amd64.iso which doesn't respond, and the main site http://mirrors.xbmc.org/ is also unreachable so I can't find out if there's still a 32 bit version.
I'd be grateful for any help as I now have a non-working media player... let me know if I should try anything/paste more logs.
