Zotac ZBox

HDMI Audio

HDMI Audio on the Zbox: Follow the directions on this website for the G210. http://www.overclockers.com.au/wiki/Audio_over_HDMI_with_a_GT210/220. Run the alsa script using the normal workflow: -d > -c > -i > reboot. Unmute all four channels of the HDMI sound card in alsamixer. Then add the following line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf: options snd-hda-intel probe_mask=0xffff,0xfff2. Further information here: http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=HOW-TO_set_up_HDMI_audio_on_nVidia_GeForce_G210,_GT220,_or_GT240#Getting_ALSA

HDMI Support: Have LinuxMCE detect presence of the ZBox (or its soundcard) and install the drivers correctly (see above). Update asound.conf in /usr/pluto/templates/ on the CORE and all MDs. In order to include the proper card and device numbers in MD's asound.conf, alter ListSoundCards.sh, SetupAudioVideo.sh, Start_LocalDevices.sh, UpdateAvailableSoundCards.sh, and Utils.sh on the MD. These files are in /home/singlegirlarity/CodeAndInstallers/LinuxMCE/Xine/Updated/BootScripts/. Then run SetupAudioVideo.sh on the MD, go into the web admin and select the proper sound card, and finally restart the MD.
