Hello everyone,

I've successfully set up my first HTPC and installed XBMC Live on it. It works, but I'm unable to hear any sound.
My mainboard is a Gigaybte 78LMT-S2P. The videocard is a Evga Geforce 210.

I've already tried the steps suggested under the heading XBMC Live [Dharma] 10.1 - but that didn't change anything.

What else do I have to do after a fresh install? There's so much information about this topic and I don't have too much of an idea concerning hardware under Linux. That's why I don't want to start doing everything I can find without knowing what I'm doing :-)

Thanks for help!

I ended up trying a few suggestions after getting me a solid background.

For everyone else who has this issue, from everything I read I would suggest to try the following first:

Code:

aplay -l

And then create a file in /home/xbmc called .asoundrc with the following content:

Code:

pcm.!default {
    type plug
     slave {
       pcm "hw:1,3"
       rate 48000
       }
}

Make sure the file is owned by the user xbmc.

Code:

chown xbmc:xbmc .asoundrc

Then reboot and select Nvidia HDMI as Output and passhtrough device. That was it for me.
