</div>There is iQuik audio ppa for lucid that updates the alsa user space to<br>
1.0.24.<br>
<br>
There is an alsa backports kernel module 1.0.23<br>
<br>
In proposed lucid:-<br>
linux-backports-modules-alsa-lucid-generic<br>
<br></blockquote></div><div><br>That gets you the 1.0.23 drivers but you are still on the 1.0.21 alsa-utils - in short, some new devices appeared in /proc/asound/NVidia, but still no cake in mythtv nor in xbmc.<br> </div>

I would try the backports module first (1.0.23), the iquik ppa was<br>
recommended for getting HDMI audio working etc..<br>

<br>For those searching this at a later date, myth's AudioOutputDevice is now set to ALSA:hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=1 and XBMC is set to Custom with the custom device specified as hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=1 <br>
