Well perhaps there it some difference in ether the way I am doing my
install or perhaps its the auto boot BIOS I installed. This is how I am
installing, for reference.


>From a Mythbuntu 14.04.1 boot usb with the grubia32.efi switcharoo. I
select try before install, and install. When finished installing I open a
terminal window and enter in the following:

sudo mkdir /mnt/emmc /mnt/emmc/boot
sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /mnt/emmc
sudo mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /mnt/emmc/boot/efi
for i in /dev /dev/pts /proc /sys; do sudo mount -B $i /mnt/emmc$i; done
sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf /mnt/emmc/etc/resolv.conf
sudo chroot /mnt/emmc
apt-get update
apt-get -y remove grub-efi-amd64
apt-get -y install grub-efi-ia32
cd /boot/efi/EFI
cp ubuntu/grubx64.efi ubuntu/grubx64.efi.orig
cp ubuntu/grubia32.efi ubuntu/grubx64.efi
update-grub2

Shutdown, remove the install usb and reboot. Then sudo apt-get update &&
sudo apt-get upgrade. Then I followed your guide for the HDMI audio.

I'll reflash to the normal non auto boot BIOS later, to rule that out.

If your willing to make an image. I'm willing to try it.

Thanks again Paul.
