<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"><div><div></div>I had to hit the "Scan for audio devices" button to get my HDMI to
show up in the list of devices. It works like a digital
passthrough; the only volume control is through the TV. Myth's
volume control has no effect. I'm guessing there's a way to get
alsa (phonon? pulse?) configured so the PCM is processed before
being sent down the wire, but it works as-is. I'm used to using my
AVR's volume control (SPDIF) in the living room so using the TV's
volume control in the bedroom comes naturally. I needed to add a
/etc/asound.conf that looks similar to Jean-Yves' asoundrc to get
the default PCM device for the system to be the HDMI out. I found
the info on how to set it up from this page:

It's in the list of volume control, in the settings page right after where you configured ALSA:hdmi<br>
<br>the asoundrc will only be required for other program, not myth ; that's what the scan for audio devices button is for : so you don't have to edit the configuration file manually to tell what audio output to use.<br>
