[mythtv-users] revo hdmi audio - what am I doing wrong?

[Nick Rout]

I have a revo 1600. I booted it from a ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 usb
flash drive (because its what I had to hand).

It came up using the nv driver in 1280x720

I unmuted iec958 in alsamixer.

I installed mplayer-nogui

I ensured that aplay -L had an hdmi listing.

I tried mplayer -ao alsa:device=hdmi file.mkv

and got no sound. What am I doing wrong?
