HTPC o anche semplice client-vdr NF430 o 690G o altro

Attenziona che la ALIVENF7G con la scheda gigabit e' la revisione 3.0, la 1.0 ha il controller 10/100.

Quello che non mi e' chiaro e' se la funzionalita' hdmi e' completa, nel senso che viene anche trasportato il flusso audio...

se ho capito bene si:
Starting from the left hand corner, we see the audio codec. The yellow pin is the HDMI audio in.

Ho scaricato il manuale e nel bios ci sono le seguenti impostazioni:

Codice: Seleziona tutto

OnBoard HDMI HD Audio
This allows you to enable or disable the onboard HDMI HD Audio feature.
OnBoard HD Audio
Select [Auto], [Enabled] or [Disabled] for the onboard HD Audio feature. If you
select [Auto], the onboard HD Audio will be disabled when PCI Sound Card is
plugged.
    Front Panel
Select [Auto], [Enabled] or [Disabled] for the onboard HD Audio Front Panel.

Pero' c'e' anche un paragrafo che riguarda l'impostazioni dell'audio hd HDMI:

Codice: Seleziona tutto

2.6  HDMI Audio Function Operation Guide
The DVI-D port for the chipset adopted on this motherboard can support DVI/HDCP
and HDMI format signal. You may use the DVI to HDMI adapter to convert the DVI-D
port to HDMI interface. Please follow below steps to enable HDMI audio function
according to the OS you install.
1. DVI to HDMI adapter is not bundled with this motherboard, please
    refer to the adapter vendor for further information.
2. If you install the DVI-D monitor instead of the HDMI monitor on this
 motherboard and enable HDMI audio function, the film you play may
 pause sometimes.

For Windows  XP / XP 64-bit OS
Step 1: Set up BIOS.
A. Enter BIOS SETUP UTILITY    Advanced screen  Chipset Configuration.
B. Set the option “OnBoard HDMI HD Audio” to [Auto].
Step 2: Install HDMI audio driver to your system.
Install “Onboard HDMI HD Audio Driver” from ASRock Support CD to your system.
Step 3: Reboot your system.
After you reboot the system, the HDMI audio function is available.
After HDMI audio driver is installed, the OS default will output the audio
signal through HDMI audio. Therefore, the onboard audio jack will not
function.

For Windows  Vista  /  Vista  64-bit OS
Step 1: Set up BIOS.
A. Enter BIOS SETUP UTILITY    Advanced screen  Chipset Configuration.
B. Set the option “OnBoard HDMI HD Audio” to [Auto].
Step 2: Enter Windows  to set up your system manually.
A. Click “Start” button, select “Settings”, and then click “Control Panel”.
B. Click “Hardware and Sound”, and click “Sound”.
C. Change the default setting “Speaker” to “Digital Output Device (HDMI)”.
D. Click “OK” to finish the setting.
Step 3: Reboot your system.
After you reboot the system, the HDMI audio function is available.

Bisogna vedere se sotto linux il device audio viene visto correttamente e c'e' la possibilita' di passare dalla modalita' analogica a quella digitale (vedi impostazioni per vista)...

Probabilmente c'e' da smanettare con le impostazioni ALSA (http://alsa.opensrc.org/DigitalOut)
