<div class=""><div class="h5"><br></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Is this only an issue with some manufacturers or is it the newer quad core Bay Trail that has this issue. My ECS Liva has an older version Bay Trail, and installing Linux on it was pretty straight forward, and sound through HDMI works just fine. It has a Bay Trail-M N2807. I keep an eye on the Livas at newegg, and I currently have 2. The PIPO X7 looks nice in that it has more usb ports, and the radio is already installed (Attaching the antennas on the first one I got led to despair, the second one took about 15 minutes but with the aid of 3x reading glasses was finally successful). <br><br></div><div>Bill<br></div></div><br></div></div>
