Hi All,
i have just built a new Haswell i3-4340 PC and decided to give Linux a try. I chose Zorin OS7 and it has been very good for a n00b like me, it installed beautifully with all hardware working. I only have 2 problems:
1. The audio settings in XBMC Frodo 12.3 don't stay as i set them. I'm using HDMI audio out of a Gigabyte Z87 motherboard into a Sherbourne PT7030 Surround Sound processor. I'm using Aeon Nox and in Sysytem/settings/audio output the Audio output device and passthrough output device keep changing to incorrect options by themselves. I assume this is because xbmc hasn't handshaken with the correct output... I have tried having the HT system up and running before i boot the PC, but it doesn't make any difference, any help would be appreciated. The system works perfectly when i change the 2 output device settings to the correct device.
2. Not really an XBMC issue but the machine restarts when i tell it to shut down, if i hold the power button down instead of using the menu it shutsdown fine.
Cheers
Steve
