I have the same for both, here is everything that starts with alsa, I ran the script on both machines, I see only the modules are listed as .23. I'm not sure if upgrading them on the OS is actually upgrading what LinuxMCE is using. I still havn't gotten around to testing the output on the KDE desktop of the Shuttle, when I try to get into the desktop it runs super slow and is a total pain to use but I will try it out.

Advanced-Softare-Software versions output of alsa:
alsa-base = 1.0.19.dfsg-3
alsa-firmware-loaders = 1.0.17-0ubuntu1
alsa-modules-2.6.27-17-generic = 1.0.23+dfsg-0ubuntu1+2.6.27-17.46
alsa-oss = 1.0.15-1
alsa-source = 1.0.19.dfsg-3
alsa-tools = 1.0.17-0ubuntu1
alsa-tools-gui = 1.0.17-0ubuntu1
alsa-utils = 1.0.18-1ubuntu11~dia1

Hmm...
Are you able to see the PCM outputs in alsamixer on your Shuttle MD? This was my main reason for running the upgrade I could not see any of them.

Joe

I ran the version check and both my core and MD had 1.0.18 on them, still using the 23388 snapshot DVD. I got them upgraded to 1.0.23 by running a script that I got from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=6589810 I will check out the KDE via system settings. Like I said I have analog audio all the time no matter what I select in the AV wizard. I can at least see 4 PCM outputs on the HDA Nvidia sound card in Alsamixer now, just still no sound.

Joe

Yep they work just fine, I bought 3 of them for my setup from that place. Just follow thishttp://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Gyration_GYR4101US as its just been brand marked by Dell nothing else.

Joe

Well I had to rebuild due to some messing around trying to work out some other kinks in my setup, and now I'm having some of the audio issue's. I still have analog output all the time but now no HDMI. I upgraded the ALSA drivers on my core now to 1.0.23. What I need now from someone is how do I get that driver to update the Media Directors? They are still on driver 1.0.18. I've tried rebuilding the image. I'm not sure if you have tried to upgrade yours like this but what I see in Alsamixer is that there is no PCM control. I tried to run the upgrade by SSH into the MD from the Core but I can't run anything it seems from in there.

Thanks, Joe

How did you get passed the freeze in the kubuntu splash screen
You turned ACPI off?
Which version of the jme drivers did you get.
I copied my Shuttle X50 v2 wiki towards the XS35GT, please update with your findings.

I had to turn the splash off for a bit to see what was going on. Turns out my son had plugged in a router up in his room for a small lan party with some of his buds, not a problem but it had dhcp turned on in its software so when the I watched the MD boot up it would first poll and get a pxeboot address from the DCERouter but then when it came to the point where it would load the lan driver and re-aquire an address it would grab one from the router in his room so it would just sit there as it didn't know where to get anything else from because it was on the wrong IP scheme. Talk about a headache.

I am using the 1.0.6.1 driver and I'm assuming Homeboy is the same as he gave me the directions on what to do to get that part of this thing working.

Homeboy, I'm not sure whats wrong with  your sound, mine is able to put it through the 3.5 jack or the HDMI without any additional driver installation. I have used it to play mp3's, video's over the Lan, DVD in its drive, and HULU. I tested for sound out of both 3.5 and HDMI from all without any issues, wish I could be of more help.

Joe

edit: I didn't ever turn off ACPI

Hi, I am trying to use a Shuttle XS35GT as a Media Director but am having some issues, I know it has an unsupported NIC, but I have resolvled that with help from the wiki, and Homeboy. My problem now is when it I try to boot it up it goes through the splash screen and when it looks like its going to switch into the AVwizard it just goes to a black screen with a blinking curser??? I have tried the number keys 1-5 to switch the source and even used the VGA connector instead of the HDMI but I have had no luck. Any help would be great.

Thanks, Joe

Light at the end of the tunnel!!! I did some more searching for others making GSD templates and came up with the format of <$"/x00/x00"$> format to put my hex codes in. Had to change the "This Device is controlled by" to "Computers" and now I am able to send some commands to the device successfully. I entered all of my inputs but I can't test them because they don't show up in the "send command to device" menu, not a big deal though as I know they would work if LMCE sends the command out. The main one I would like to see work though with the test is the power command, it doesn't try to send the code out at all according to the log, I mean nothing at all shows up in the log when I try to send it. I copied the command over to the Virtual Power commands and it works when I send them. Any ideas?

Thanks, Joe

Well after putting in some of the basic commands for now and trying to send a command to the device I still have no joy. The log is talking about a projector for some reason? One thing I havn't figured out yet either is where do I tell it the baud rate and parity information for this device? This is what I'm getting

Thom, I've got some more done on GSD, I started a template, I looked at the one you state for somewhat of an example. My device takes hex commands to control it though. If you could just tell me what the ruby code for say vol up I can plug in the rest of them the hex is 0x02 0x06 0xA0 0x52 0x00 0x02 0x00 0x02 0x04

Thanks for all your help again,
Joe

I have 3 of these receiver's that i would like to use in my setup. I was wondering if anyone has got one working with the rs232 port on it? I have been trying to work my way thru adding it in the Admin webpage but I'm not having much success. Maybe there is a template out there that will work and I just haven't tried it?? I have a doc from Sony on their rs232 protocol if needed I can email it.

Thanks, Joe
