Config sound generic ion2



How to get the sound working over HDMI on ION2 systems including: Shuttle X35GT, XS35GTV2 and Eee Box EB1012P, Zotac Zbox ID40 and others

The solution for this problem is very simple:


 * First, connect to your box with SSH or SAMBA and go to the configfiles share (/storage/.config in SSH).
 * Open the directory asound.conf.sample and copy the file asound.conf_double-xs35gt.sample into the Configfiles share beneath it. Then rename the file to asound.conf
 * Through SSH, you can use this simple command to accomplish above:

cp ~/.config/asound.conf.sample/asound.conf_double-xs35gt.sample ~/.config/asound.conf


 * Reboot your system.
 * Inside XBMC, go to:
 * Settings - System - Audio, make the following configuration:

Audio output = HDMI Speaker configuration = 7.1 (or the what your receiver is capable of)

Audio output device = custom Custom audio device = plughw:1,7

Passthrough output device = custom Custom passthrough device = plughw:1,7


 * Reboot your system
