I've had HDMI audio working on my ION for quite some time now as mentioned in my first reply. There's actually a lot of texts on the net about it, not sure why your searches came up empty. Btw, you don't use an SPDIF header with ION as you would for some Nvidia video cards (like an 8400gs for example). ION has an own audio controller and has worked with alsa drivers for a while, but the Debian package maintainers haven't bothered to update the Debian packages -- which seems bad since a lot of users have ION now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Palm PDK Hot Apps Program offers developers who use the Plug-In Development Kit to bring their C/C++ apps to Palm for a share of $1 Million in cash or HP Products.
