It's strange though because I havent heard of any skipping issues. Hello noobydoo, I dont own any bluray discs myself so I cant really test anything out.

I have followed this to the letter on my ASrock Ion HT-BD and my tester bluray worked but was jumping which made the movie unwatchable. I even went as far as setting the built in overclocking features in the bios to 2.1Ghz. This made it better but did not fix it. Any ideas? Hi Glitch,

I fix the audio by using the suggestion in the original xbmc forums thread (see post #103 by toker) and following the guide here (both McAfee and Kaspersky warn of a tojan which they block, so just be wary) - http://monespaceperso.org/blog-en/2009/12/17/upgrade-alsa-1-0-22-on-ubuntu-karmic-koala-9-10/ - to upgrade to alsa 1.0.22.1. I'm now watching Harry Potter & the Half-Blood Prince direct from the Blu-ray disk complete with sound (all-be-it downmixed to stereo for my set-up) :) Just an update…

I'm now watching 30 Days of Night using my LG GGC-H20L HD-DVD/Blu-ray drive cnnected directly to the Zotac m/b. However, I did get the “Failed to initialize audio device” message and have no sound so will look further into that but otherwise it's an excellent start :) Forgot to say… I’m now watching 30 Days of Night using my LG GGC-H20L HD-DVD/Blu-ray drive cnnected directly to the Zotac m/b.

Sadly the very first command gives me the following: Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information...

This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source E: Package build-essential has no installation candidate I'm using a standard xbmc live install on a 2GB USB stick on a Zotac ION ITX A-B board.
