I have a revo 1600. I booted it from a ubuntu netbook remix 9.10 usb<br>
flash drive (because its what I had to hand).<br>
<br>
It came up using the nv driver in 1280x720<br>
<br>
I unmuted iec958 in alsamixer.<br>
<br>
I installed mplayer-nogui<br>
<br>
I ensured that aplay -L had an hdmi listing.<br>
<br>
I tried mplayer -ao alsa:device=hdmi file.mkv<br>
<br>
and got no sound. What am I doing wrong?<br>

This machine is naturally destined to be a frontend.</blockquote><div><br></div><div>I have a Revo 1600 running mythbuntu 9.10 as a FE, never tried mplayer, but did the alsamixer unmute and set "Audio output device" to ALSA:hdmi in myth and it just worked. Are you sure you have sound going in over the hdmi connection? Did you try running a FE on it?</div>
