ok, this may be a stupid question. I bought an ION thinking that it will decode DTS for me and pass it to my TV. My other htpc in my main room does that (running vista). Anyway, is this possible? Basically all I have is a flat panel and this ion htpc. The ION htpc is connected through hdmi and I want to be able to watch all my movies with sound. Currently nothing is working, not even divx's (video works, no sound). I tried playing an mp3 through ubuntu... no sound. I tried the plughw:hdmi and hdmi like this thread suggests... nothing, I get a failed to initialize. Is this just not possible? I want ubuntu to decode everything and just pass it to my tv like my main htpc does. Please let me know, thank you!

EDIT: I don't think I mentioned it.. I DO NOT have a reciever

EDIT2: Ok, got it all working Smile

Did a search for the ZOTAC board and followed the instructions in this thread http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=54705; used alt2 config;
