Hi,
Just thought Id post this here as I know there are others who are going the HP/XBMC route, and may experience the same issue.
From my research, the HP MicroServer and Inno3D GT210 should have worked with XBMC Live out of the box - others have managed to get everything up and running on the original XBMC live install without changes.
I wasnt so lucky - the video on HDMI worked 1st time - no issues. However I couldnt get the audio on the HDMI even after setting up XBMC to output audio on HDMI. I did created the boot USB on my laptop - not sure if this has anything to do with the problem - but in any case the following solved my issue :
1) Install the latest Nvidia drivers.
( I must be honest, I dont know if this step is neccessary, as I upgraded the drivers before making any changes - if I ever get a chance to confirm I will update this post)
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-current-modaliases nvidia-settings
2) Create a asound.conf file as follows : sudo nano /etc/asound.conf
Add the following text into the file, and save :
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "hw:0,3"
rate 48000
}
}
3) Reboot, and done.
As a check, I deleted the asound.conf, and there was no audio once again.
Hope this helps...
