Yesterday I upgraded my Asrock ION330 using Xbmcfreak LiveCD 10.08 svn32696.
System started perfect,only found two things that use to work but now dont.
1-Only have sound through HDMI.Optical is not working at all.
Anybody any idea?
My setting are on XBMC:
Audio output: digital
Boost volume: ON
Audio output device: Default
Passtrough: HDMI
allready tried to change Passtrough devide to ice958 but still no luck.
Second problem.
Every source I add IS LOST after i restart the system.
Already solved this problem by adding all sources into MEDIASOURCES.XML
This part is working fine now.
But when I add a source to the file manager problem is still there.
As soon as system is restarted they are all gone.
How can I manage that XBMC remembers everything I enter (or how can I add a source to file manager using a XML file?)

Got a problem with alsamixer not saving.
I need to reduce the levels of some of the channels.
So Ive gone through the usual routine of removing the "setvolume" from grub then ran update-grub to save it to the config.
run alsamixer set the desired levels
run alsactl store 0
In 9.11 this would set my levels how I wanted them instead of all being topped out.
In this latest release (svn32696) after a reboot the levels return to what they were before
Is there any thing additional I need to be doing to save the alsamixer settings ??
Cheers

I've read the post on the XBMCFreak site saying that if you have a Zotac HD-11 you need to add a line to the alsa-base.conf file. The problem is I'm running off of a USB stick rather than a hard drive. So my changes (anything outside of /image/live) don't seem to persist between reboots. What can I do?
In case any of this matters, I made the bootable usb drive with Unetbootin and the latest XBMCFreak release.
EDIT: I downloaded toporesize and created an ext3 image named live-rw in the root directory of the usb drive. I made the live-rw image roughly 2 gigs. This seems to have allowed me to persist changes. Also solved my audio passthrough over HDMI issue.

can some one with the newest build post the advanced settings xml so I can duplicate it on my end. I am running the second to latest build and really don't want to wipe and start from scratch
I am interested in the ion part of it
also if you could cat your /etc/module for the coretemp that would be great

How do I boot this without the 'cpufreq' stuff turned on?
Probably should have that as a module.
Also, for the 'install xbmc' script, you should allow the grub section dialogs to let the user choose the location for the grub install. Should not have altered that at all.

I've installed the latest version of XBMCFreak, pretty much 100% working so thanks very much.
Couple questions;
The latest version has SABNZB included I believe, but how do I use it / access it / control it etc through this installation?
I use SABNZB on my laptop, but would like to try it on my revo.
Thanks

I also have installed svn32696.
I encountered some of the issues posted on this forum such as sound not working with the solution being to rename /etc/asound.conf.
I also encountered my own unique problem in that Samba would not start. Checking the Samba log it was looking for an xbmc userid. I didn't install with xbmc as the userid, but quickly did a reinstall using xbmc.
Anyway, I'm stuck on one problem that this version is not able to play all my mpg files correctly. The video stutters and skips every few seconds. The sounds seems fine. At first I thought it might be a network issue but all my mkvs play with no problem. Earlier versions of XBMC, and various media players on Win7 can play these mpg normally. I searched the forums but nothing caught my eye. I played around with settings in System -> Settings -> Video -> Playback, but nothing seemed to make a difference.
Any ideas? Links? Suggestions?
