use this script to get install latest alsa, then set it to hdmi and you should be all set

that's why I'd rather not use ubuntu NBR for an XBMC installation
as stated before, first get rid of pulseaudio, and then it *should* work by using "hdmi" or "hw:0,3" as output device. else, you'll also have to install latest ALSA via the script.

Code:
sudo pkill X
That seems a bit crude. Better is to get to a tty (Ctrl-Alt-F1, F2, etc) and login and then get to root then go to init level 3 (full system without X server):
Code:
# telinit 3Update the driver (using the package from Nvidia or installing by other means) and then go back to init level 5 (full system with X server):
Code:
# telinit 5or by rebooting:
Code:

Starstream Wrote:Thanks for that >>X<< it seems to be the root of the problem, unfortunately I lack the linux experience to correct it in XBMC Live.
I tried booting the ubuntu live disc so I could find the /etc/x11/xf86config-4 file on XBMC Live HD but only found the /etc/x11 folder without that file. I took a guess that xorg.conf is the equivalent and tried to edit it by adding "HWCursor" "false" but it would not let me save the changes saying I did not have proper permissions.
@Starstream did you ever fix your X cursor problem. I am now having the same issue and can't seem to fix it. Do you think you could post your xorg.conf file, if that was the file that need editing.

Been looking to get one of these, so close to parting with my cash! Looking to upgrade from my Xbox running XBMC to be able to run HD content, these look just the job!
Noticed that new BIOS posted on ASRock site today, thought people might be interested....

medicineuk - yeah the solution is post number 2
fdrzrich - interesting, I'll give it a spin and see what happens.
Edit: Okay just flashed the 1.40 bios and you now have a fan control menu with 6 options ranging from auto and then level 1-5 in terms of fixed fan speeds with ultrasilent being the lowest. I'm still happy with the auto setting.
There is also a memory bandwidth boost feature, not sure I recall seeing that before.
Oh and if you use the built in bios flash update tool it will reset any changes you made so you might want to set GPU RAM back to 512MB after.

Please Starstream, I read in another forum that you have a panasonic plasma, I have the panasonic that supports 1080p @ 24hz me too.
I have the ASRock connected to plasma in HDMI, so when I turn on the computer and load xbmclive my plasma says vga 1080i and not HDMI 1080p.Why..? your panasonic plasma does the same ..? .. it's normal or i have to setting something in the bios?

Yes I have Panasonic plasma not sure why yours is going to 1080i what is the model number of the TV ?
Also to enable 1080p@24Hz under XBMC Live you need to make some changes outlined here.
Edit: Over HDMI does yours actually say VGA 1080i on screen ?
