Hello all.
I am trying to follow Cron0's method to get sound through NVIDIA HDMI.
In all 3 of my PC's and using Ubuntu 10.04, there is no file called /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf. The /etc/modprobe.d directory is present but no file called sound.conf. However, there is a file called alsa-base.conf.
Also, no file called /etc/asound.conf
Can anyone tell me if these files have been moved in Ubuntu 10.04 ? or should I create them ?
regards

I installed Ubuntu 10.04, 195er nvidia drivers and managed to get audio working with the alsa update script. But I had trouble when using the latest 256er nvidia driver. Is there any advantage of using the 256 driver over the 195?
My major issue still is getting DTS converted to AC3 and passed through via HDMI.
I'll backup and rebuild the whole system again to check I did everything correctly.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Hello there,
i'm new in the bussiness and bought me a hd-id11. i installed the latest xbmc live freak edition: xbmcfreak-10.08-svn31632-lucid1! after bios update and good fan noise and installation of xbmc i got me a working system. but some problems still occure:
- i got wlan running but with an inacceptabel speed of 70kb/s via ftp, so i switched back to dlink streaming which is working very well so far
- i'm using a logitech harmony one with an hama mce usb dongel. the remote is working but some commands are missing, like opening a context menu in xbmc or ...
- shuttdown and wake on usb isn't working! that issue was earlier in this thread. has anybody heard anything new?
- my sound worked out of the box with the xbmcfreak-10.08-svn31632-lucid1 version. i'm not using sound over hdmi because my "teufel decoderstation 5" has no hdmi input, so i'm using an optical/spdif cable, which is working very well. except the menu sound. all instructions target the hdmi and no menu sound problem. anybody an idea how to fix menu sounds while using optical sound output? i tried the hdmi fix with the word "optical" instead of "hdmi" inside the asound.conf with no effect ...
help would be nice ...
