XBMC + AMD Fusion (E350)... Is it possible?
#1
Hello everyone!

I bought a HTPC with the idea of installing XBMC on it. But to be honest, i didnt make some research before buying, and now, I have an AMD FUSION e350 APU (Gigabyte E350N-USB3), that seems to be highly incompatible with Linux.

I tryed almost everything, Fedora + XMBC, Ubuntu + XBMC, XBMCbuntu and finally OpenELEC. But I failed, i couldnt make the HDMI sound work...
So finally, i had to install windows 7 and also after struggling with AMD drivers, which are crap, i was able to play video and sound through HDMI.


So, my question is: Is there any way to have the HDMI audio Working in AMD Fusion platforms? Because I would REALLY love to have XBMCbuntu installed instead of windows!
Anyone here has an AMD E350 based HTPC working? Any help would be extremelly appreciated!

Hi cletus8,

I am running XBMC+PVR+Lubuntu 12.04 on this board http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?model=e350m1/usb3
Everything works fine, with smooth playback of 1080p/60 videos etc... What I haven't tested is audio through HDMI because I am using optical SPDIF output.

I am having the ASRock E350M1/USB3 like Pyromaniac.
I got sound working over HDMI with some effort.

Edit: that's for the movies. I installed https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/laditools/ to get Ubuntu recognize HDMI as sound output.

This is working pretty great for me. Ubuntu 12.04 minimal + the how to in the first post of the above thread.

Has anyone managed to install Gotham Openelec on a E-350 system? I can get it installed on the stick, but system hangs and repeats the same Linxux version 6.01 in white again and again.
