I have MythTV running via Maverick 10.10 with the Asus AT5IONT-1 mobo. All HDMI audio devices function perfectly (with eternal thanks to "Bicycler Boy") with the exception of MythTV which loads the internal audio sound by default (very occasionally it will load HDMI stereo). I have trailed through the forums but as a newbie I am not very confident. I am afraid of corrupting my otherwise stable audio system, but presume there is a way of suppressing the internal analogue audio on startup of Myth TV.
I need to get MythTV to play through HDMI by default
