[ubuntu-uk] Nvidia Settings (was Media Centre Advice)

[Andrew Seyes]

Hello,

I installed 10.04 on my revo and I too struggled to get any sound via
HDMI which refused stubbornly to work despite my best efforts. Finally
I gave up and completed the install by activating the nvidia graphics
driver. After a reboot I was surprised to find that sound just started
working via HDMI. I dont think I made any other changes, so I think it
was just activating that nvidia driver that did the trick for me.

I was following the install guides on greenhughes.com [1] (which
mentions un-muting a channel via alsamixer which I did too) and popeys
guide [2] (adapting it for lucid as I went along).

Cheers
Andrew
