Hmm. Interesting. I will try this later. Thanks.

tried this one.
if I just use the top section (pcm.hdmi03), I get audio over hdmi, as noted in earlier posts.

If I use the whole file, I can get hdmi by changing xbmc's settings to "HDA NVidia hdmi", but I don't get the nav sounds.
I can't get analog with headphones with any of the Audio output device options, though.

(I'm not able to test optical at the moment, though, as my receiver is in storage for a couple more weeks until we close on the new house.)

thoughts?

interesting...

I've had overheating problems since day 1 with this puppy (well 31, actually). I actually had to send it back to Jetway. The fan failed completely and the cpu would lock up. They replaced the motherboard, and I didn't have any noticeable problems for about 6 months... although, I've always been able to hear the fan from across the room if audio or video isn't playing.

Lately, however, the USB controller has started overheating. It manifests as a "unclean" unmount of my media drive. Usually turing off the machine for a few minutes until it is cool to the touch resolves the problem for a couple days... (probably need to rma it again)

I'm gonna install the lm-sensors and see if it makes a difference. What are your fan settings in the BIOS?

thanks,

I do have a bunch of addons installed, and I upgraded librtmp so now most all streaming is working and not getting incompatible stream errors. This machine ROCKS!

good point... "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".... right? Nod

installed lm-sensors.
it appears to have quieted down the fans a bit, but I'm not getting any fan readings on the info screen, though. So, I'll just have to wait and see if I have any heat problems over the weekend.

now, if there were only some kind of software that I could install to keep the 18month-old from pushing the buttons. Laugh

Add the following to your advancedsettings.xml in .xbmc/userdata folder.

#Strings for CPU/GPU temps when using xbmc system info
<gputempcommand>echo "$(nvidia-settings -c :0 -tq GPUCoreTemp)C"</gputempcommand>
<cputempcommand>echo "$(sensors -u | grep "temp1_input"| awk '{print $2 }' |awk '{printf("%d C \n",$1 + 0.5);}')"</cputempcommand>

Once I fire up my unit I will check the .asoundrc file. What is there should be right, but I may have made changes. I know to get analog I need to select analog in video settings and I think USB PnP Sound iec958. I will double check later and post, tied up right now.

Hi,
I am stuck on this step

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.35-22-generic alsa-utils ##Here comes your sound

I get an error that says couldnt find package linux-backports-modules-alsa-2.6.35-22-generic

Has anyone run into this before?

I have a Jetway and i have xmcfreak live running off of a usb.

Thanks


speed32219 Wrote:Update:

It is causing me some problems, alsa-utils just drops out when setting up (I think upower and or policykit-1) and requires a fresh install.

The minute I installed upower and policykit-1, I lose alsa-utils functions and installed drivers it seems. (Alsamixer, aplay, etc.)

Here are some snapshots of my current situation after installing the pkgs. above.
$ aplay -l

UPDATE: Fixed it, it was in the wiki hiding in the nvidia 2XX section. It seems that the ION2 is a GEforce 218 card, kinda good to know. I was installing alsa from the maverick backports and not removing them when finished. Found that tip on the Nvidia Geforce 2xx wiki.

I'm having trouble getting HDMI audio working with the navigation sounds and sometimes mp3 get failed to initialize, but works great for everything else. I have the following:

.asoundrc in user directory:

Then in XBMC Audio settings

for both passthrough and output

Personnally it looks like what you got should work,
Everything worked better for me wwhen I switched over to Eden (This is on Openlec not ubuntu). My asound.conf looks like
Code:
defaults.ctl.card 0
defaults.pcm.card 0
defaults.pcm.device 7

You might want to try out Eden, it's coming along quick and has better sound support for passthrough devices. Keep in mind though I sold my Minitop and this is on an AT5IONT motherboard (also ion2 though).

A few questions about the fan in this mini-top: I have had this machine since shortly after it appeared on Newegg. I like it very much, with the exception of the god-awful fan. Although I have never had any problems with overheating, the fan turns off and on CONTINUOUSLY. When watching movies, it is no big deal. In all other situations, it is extremely annoying. Even if the machine is doing absolutely nothing, the fan revs up, runs for a minute or so, calms down, then does it all over again.

Is there anything that can be done about this?

I wish it were possible to adjust the setting upwards for when the fan runs at low speed. The default is 50°C. I do have lm-sensors installed, which shows the CPU temp as always hovering between 49° and 53°. If I could just adjust that setting to 55° or so, maybe the fan would not run nearly as much?

What happens if the smart fan control in the BIOS just gets shut off? Will the OS be able to control the fans itself? [OK, no. I just tried that, which caused the fan to just run all the time.]

(I am running Kubuntu 11.04, and just finished upgrading the BIOS to A03 less than an hour ago.)

I have also wondered about removing the HD, and running from an eSATA enclosure. I dunno.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

i bought a ASRock ION 3D, very similar hardware D525 and ion2 and i love it, xbmc and mythtv-backend is running very well.

i went with the asrock as it allows you to open the case and upgrade the drives, i changed the 320GB drive for a 1TB hdd.
hated the supplied remote control so reused my streamzap.


didn't have to mess around with conf files getting sound working in pulseaudio just adjusted the settings in pulseaudio volume control.

Has anyone got the remote to work with Ubuntu 11.04 32 bit on the Jetway minitop HBJC600C99-352W-BW ?

I copied the remote.xml for keymap from the xbmc wiki. Most of the keys work. up,down,left,right, and OK do not work however. Been searching around and playing with it, but no luck. Still not working. hid_mapper utility no longer works in 11.04 either.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hate to bump an old thread, I have this box, upgraded to 12.10 and am having the following problem.

I've been struggling with the how it comes out of sleep. First off, the unit has a proprietary IR receiver and remote which I am not using except for the poweroff / standby signal. In short, I programmed my harmony remote to issue this command to wake it up cause it is not capable of waking with the HP mceusb receiver that I also have plugged to it.

Programmed suspend (5 min timer) works fine, it used to be (before upgrading to xbmcbuntu from xbmc live) that a single poweroff / standby signal would wake it up but now it automatically forces xbunbuntu to shut off.

It is to be noted that the way it used to work was that a single poweroff / standby signal would wake it and a second poweroff / standby signal would shut it down. That behavior I liked.

I hope this makes some sense.

At about 15:37:08 I attempted to wake it up (towards the end of log) and it shut down.

Perhaps someone has some insight, thanks. More details here:
