Hi Vizo,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I have tried that one and I still 
don't get any sound :( I have tried many things in my asound.conf and 
I'm still not there yet.

Just out of interest, Mythbuntu LiveCD, exactly the same as gentoo, 
looks good but silent. However I've also tried an XBMC livecd and the 
HDMI audio works with 30 seconds of config.

So the hardware is ok, but there is something critial I am missing. I've 
asked on the mythtv-users list too but no replies yet.

Thanks
