Corrupted driver download maybe ?
All I did was download drivers unrar with winrar into folder with XBMC Live ISO
Start ISO Magic - load in XBMC Live ISO
Drag and drop new nvidia driver over existing ones
Confirm replace existing file
Save file to new iso & burn to disc.
What you could try is extracting the contents of the XBMC Live ISO to a USB flash drive then overwrite the nvidia driver with a newer one and boot from the USB drive.

After a few days fiddeling about (totally linux noob), i have finally gotten my HDMI audio working.. Even the menu sounds are 100% on my setup.
For those interested, my setup is like this
BIOS:
GPU share memory 512mb ram
OC CPU 2000mhz
XBMC Audio:
Digital output
No AC3
No DTS
output device "HDMI"
passthrough "HDMI"
no downmix
XBMC video:
render VDPAU
ajust refresh rate
the file ~/.asoundrc:
pcm.!default {
type asym
playback.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm "hw:0,3"
}
}
finally, i had to run alsamixer from bash and make sure everything was unmuted.
This is the result of hours of try and fail, with info stolen from various resources. Im not really sure what is contributing to it working and what is not, so im just leaving it there until i do :-P every setting may or may not have some function.

Yeah, im plugging it directly into the TV, so i wont get any benefit from DTS or AC3 anyways.
