Hi all.
A big hello from a first time posting Newbie here
I've only recently decided to build my first home media centre based on a Mac, connected to external HDD for media storage. The Mac is connected to a DAC, then to a 2 channel stereo amplifier (a 5.1 will be added) via a toslink cable. Not connected to a TV as yet as I'm just at the start out point - and the new TV is yet to arrive !
XBMC has been successfully set up, DVD's ripped with MakeMKV, Ripit and Mac DVD Ripper Pro. Data scraping set up with IMBD so the few ripped movies now have cover art and media info.
I have one problem in that I have a red sound icon in the top left hand corner, which looks like a mute icon and it will not go away. When ripped DVD's are first added to XBMC the sound setting is set to -60.00DB, this has to be re-adjusted to 0.0DB, then sound returns.
Any ideas as to what I have done wrong?
I would be very grateful if some of the more experienced XBMC bods could please point this newbie in the right direction?

EDIT: After a bit of searching I found this post (http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=119089) and wondered if this was a similar issue? If so, I can't find out where / which / how I need to change the code - could someone please point me in the right direction?
