Current issues on 10.04

• HDMI sound does not work out of the box
  • apt-get install linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic
    • The nvidia hdmi item will show up under card 1 after this
  • The furthest I got in getting HDMI going was doing the following:

 /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf
 options snd-hda-intel enable_msi=0 index=1

 /etc/asound.conf
 pcm.!default {
  type plug
  slave {
      pcm "hw:1,7"
      rate 48000
  }
 }

• • • Also testing with this command

The nVidia and alsa drivers need to be updated.

Does not work

 aplay -v -D plughw:1,3  /mnt/device/42/avwizard-sounds/avwizard_volume_test.mp3
 aplay -v -D hdmi:CARD=NVidia /mnt/device/42/avwizard-sounds/avwizard_volume_test.mp3
