Users / ASUS_M3N78-EM HDMI audio, anyone got it working?

« on: May 14, 2009, 12:19:25 pm »

Hi guys;

i am just about to take the jump and build my first hybrid MCE machine.  Having read the wiki i cannot find any modern motherboards that positively list HDMI audio as working. After a fair bit of reading/research (and shopping around) I am pretty set on using the ASUS M3N78-EM which has a great wiki post about it (http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/ASUS_M3N78-EM). 

I am just wondering if anyone has managed to get HDMI audio working on this board or not, the wiki is based around 0710 so im hoping version 8 helps...

Thanks for any info;

Andy

Users / Is the MSI Media Live still a good hybrid?

« on: May 10, 2009, 09:29:55 pm »

I have been fully sold on MCE by the video but really feel that a hybrid will best meet my needs.  I have been through the Wiki over the past few weeks and apart from some old hardware am pretty impressed with how far the project has come!  The question I have is if you were setting up a hybrid system would you still spend the cash on the slightly older MSI Media Live or look at a rebuild with newer hardware?

Thanks for any help!
