Hi, and thanks for all your efforts in making this guide
I followed this install guide and got everything working, except a couple of things.
First, I only got sound working through HDMI by using settings :
Audio Capable Device: plughw:0,3
Passthrough Output Device: hdmi
Thing is - only DTS is sent in multichannel to my receiver (Yamaha RX-V765). Seems like if the moviefile is Dolby Digital I only get Left+Right front channels (no center/surround/sw).
Alsa sound version (sudo apt-get install linux-sound-base alsa-base alsa-utils) is 1.1.18rc3 - this is not the latest version (1.1.20 is I think). Will an upgrade help on the DD issue? If so, can anyone post a howto for upgrading Alsa?
Another thing - XBMC crashes often. Mostly if I fast-forward a movie, or resumes a previously stopped movie file. Is there any way to configure the powerbutton on the Revo to only kill/exit XBMC instead of shutting down the whole computer? I guess this cannot be assigned to a key, as when XBMC crashes no key on the keyboard respons.
Thanks in advance
