I figured out how to swap sound devices. In the Ubuntu/Mythbuntu desktop, type ALT-F2. This brings up a popup where you can type “gnome-sound-properties” where you can swap the sound devices. You can also type “gnome-volume-control” which allows you to adjust the volume settings for all devices. All are enabled and set to highest volume. Still no audio over HDMI.

I have the same configuration with Mythbuntu 9.0.4. I do not get audio over HDMI at all. I get it over the regular headphone jack. How did you swap sound devices?

Perfect fix. I just got the same board and wanted to use it as a workstation + myth frontend.

thanks, i had the same problem, but now my sound doesn’t work.
if i use alsamixer and crank everything up to the max volume, i can hear audio through the headphone jack, but nothing through the digital (spdif) output.

Man you saved my life. After I’ve enabled the restricted drivers the myth screen was corrupted/ distorted.

I did exactly what you said and it worked perfectly
