http://ubuntuforums.org – I've got onboard sound and an nvidia card with HDMI out. I managed to get sound going out of the nvidia for my XBMC setup but I can't get my onboard sound to actually do anything. I want XBMC to the hdmi and everything else to be local. I'm still running ubuntu 10.10 if that matters. aplay -l lists Code: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 0: VT1818S Analog [VT1818S Analog] Subdevices: 2/2 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Subdevice #1: subdevice #1 card 0: SB [HDA ATI SB], device 1: VT1818S Digital [VT1818S Digital] Subde (Hardware)
