I have XBMCbuntu Eden 11.0 installed on a Zotac ZBox ID31 with Next-Generation NVidia ION GPU, and have it successfully streaming video files from my Windows home server. Both audio and video work fine through HDMI when I'm playing low res video files, but only the video is coming through for HD files. For these files, I get a "failed to initialize audio device" error.
I've tried numerous configurations in the audio setup but can't seem to get it working. I've come across quite a few threads where people needed to create a asound.conf file but not sure if this is necessary for me (those threads seem to imply the audio was not working at all over HDMI).
Also, I have zero linux experience and don't really know what I'm doing, so if you can help please don't gloss over the basics
Thanks in advance
