<div>I have a Revo 1600 running mythbuntu 9.10 as a FE, never tried
mplayer, but did the alsamixer unmute and set "Audio output device" to
ALSA:hdmi in myth and it just worked. Are you sure you have sound
going in over the hdmi connection? Did you try running a FE on it?</div>

Nick,<br>
<br>
I have an Acer Revo 1600 as a front end and it works great; low noise,
low power consumption, reliable, etc. I initially set it up as Jerry
suggested and all was well until I tried to play music with it. No
matter what I tried I received "Error: Rate doesn't match (requested
44100Hz, got 48000Hz)" in the logs and no sound.<br>
<br>
After a lot of googling and a request to this list Jedi suggested the
following:<br>
<br>
<pre wrap=""> On my Revo I use an .asoundrc file that seems to have been passed
around a number of XBMC support forums.
--------------------- .asoundrc ----------------------------------
### .asoundrc for Acer Revo
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
ipc_key_add_uid false
ipc_perm 0660
slave {
pcm "hw:0,3"
rate 48000
channels 2
format S32_LE
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_time 0
buffer_size 4096
}
}
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}
</pre>
<br>
<br>
Placing the above in the mythtv user's home directory and reverting
back to ALSA:default in the mythtv setup allows sound to work for both
TV playback and myth music.<br>
<br>
Hope it works for you.<br>
<br>
John<br>
