HDMI can be limited as to what it will pass through. If your TV does<br>
not do TrueHD, then it is unlikely an HDMI connection to your TV will<br>
do TrueHD as the TV will not pass it through. If the HDMI goes to<br>
your receiver/amp then maybe it will work.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>My HDMI is going out to my Denon receiver - Somehow if I set this to iecxxx - I can hear the TrueHD movies.

Check your old Ion setup to see if it has an asound.conf file. If<br>
not, then this mailing list has had posts about this exact problem<br>
several times, so if you can find them there will be examples of what<br>
to put in /etc/asound.conf. ALSA is a pain to set up - it is much<br>
better if you have an example to work from.<br>
