Just wanted to elaborate on my experience from the release of the "untethered JB"

I did see the exact same things already being discussed here:

ATV2 Firmware 4.3.1 & untethered JB & XBMC compiled April 1'st
  1. Sound issues
  2. Samba/SMB issues
  3. Saurik.list empty (etc/apt/sources.list.d) -causing seatbeltunlock -bsdiff & GAWK dependency issues


ATV2 Firmware 4.3.1 & tethered JB (Seas0npass) & XBMC compiled April 1'st
  1. NO Sound issues
  2. NO Samba/SMB issues
  3. A number of other repos residing in /etc/apt/sources.list.d


I also tried to #cp the entire "/etc/apt" directory over to the untethered installation, and tried with an apt-get update/upgrade, before applying the XBMC installation once again.

The outcome from that was still XBMC being fubar. Stare I do wonder if we are just missing out an unseen deb file not being installed.

hmm... I just got rid of the untethered pwnage tool 4.3.1 jailbreak and tried the tethered seas0npass method.
The smb shares work fine now and I don't get that "failed to initialize audio error" however, I now have that static audio back when I try to play files with 5.1 audio.

I had this problem back with the original ATV2 firmware but it was solved in 4.2 (i think)

I think I'm just going to give up and go back to 4.2.1. I really wanted that 3rd party airplay support though Sad

Someone already Poster on how to install... We are searching for a fix on The Audio issue AFTER Installation!

And the SMB issue.

Could someone please post The repos from the tethered install?

I thought sn0wbreeze 2.5 also supports untethered jailbreak on atv2 ... so it would be good to know if the audio issue is there with this jb also... can't test right know, because i'm at work...

I´ve jailbreaked my Apple TV 2 with the new 4.3.1 Jailbreak and now I become this error message when I play a showTv :
I cant initialized sound and when I'm playing Movies , then reset XBMC .
When I had the firmware 4.2 the XBMC ,it worked fine , but whit 4.3.1 I have that problem.

As of http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/q7bub3BnX9QLiSy48MKC we hit a kernel exception here ... so this just hardens the opinion of a jailbreak issue (which does kernel stuff afaik). Mhh hopefully the dev-teams get aware of this somehow ... i don't think that XBMC can do anything about it ...
