How to get the Jetway Mini-TOP HBJC600C99-52W-BW working with HDMI sound (including menu sounds)

The solution for this problem is very simple, just follow these steps:

Step 1.

If you are using XBMC Dharma (OpenELEC 1.0.2 or previous):

• In Settings - System - Audio, make the following configuration:

Audio output = HDMI
Speaker configuration = 7.1 (or the what your receiver is capable of)

Audio output device = custom
Custom audio device = plughw:0,7

Passthrough output device = custom
Custom passthrough device = plughw:0,7

If you are using XBMC Eden (currently available only thru dev's channel):

• In Settings - System - Audio, make the following configuration:

Audio output = HDMI
Speaker configuration = 7.1 (or the what your receiver is capable of)

Audio output device = custom
Custom audio device = plughw:1,7

Passthrough output device = custom
Custom passthrough device = plughw:1,7

Step 2.

• reboot the Jetway Mini-TOP HBJC600C99-52W-BW

Step 3.

In the latest builds snd-usb-audio randomly loads into slot 0 or 1 when in the alsa-base.conf it has the index listed as -2. This causes issues because it's expected that snd-hda-intel will be in slot 0. Adding indexes or even using the new options snd slots snd-intel-hda, snd-usb-audio option does not do anything.I think this is the reason sound only works 50% of the time on some boxes.

FIX:

echo 'blacklist snd_usb_audio' >> ~/.config/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
