Hi
I'm using an Acer Aspire Revo and i've managed to set it up pretty well with XBMC Live (Linux), thanks to the fantastic tips and support from this forum.
Only a few problems remain, and one of them seems to be related to HDMI audio when playing mp3 files etc. My initial settings was hdmi for both audio output device and audio throughput device. With this setting my MP3 files etc was playing back with what seemed to be roughtly a 10% speed increase..quite annoying. I then changed the audio output device to read plug:'hw:0,3 and that fixed the speed increase annoyance.
However the problem now is that play an MP3 file it never starts right at the beginning, but rather starts playing 1-2 seconds into the song. Crossfading between songs doesn't work either, and it reports "no audio device" or something similar when it tries to crossfade between songs.
Anyone have any ideas or solutions to this problem?
