Matt Ok..I was testing with speaker-test. aplay gives the error "Channels count non available" for everything except "plughw0,3". Speaker-test doesn't give any error. I have my .asoundrc set up to pipe out to both HDMI and analog. Setting mythtv to use that pipe, I can hear the TV via headphones on the analog, but nothing through the TV.

I'm 95% sure the kernel/modules are ok. The various different pieces of information on the mixer setup for example just get confusing after a while. I've got the usual analog channels, plus the 3 S/PDIFs (the third of which I understand to be the HDMI) and I'm really not sure if I've got that set up right. I tried using the .asoundrc from the XBMC LiveCD to see what change that might make. It did tidy some things up a bit (the device names/aliases/whatever alsa calls them) but still no sound. As I say I'm fairly sure what I have done is right, but obviously something is incorrect and I don't know which part :D Thanks for your help Matt

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
