I purchased new Asus m5a88-m motherboard - 8G RAM, 64 bit, 64 G SSD to build xbmc over full desktop Ubuntu 64 bit - tried 3 versions of Ubuntu between 10 and 11.
System is lightning fast, good in all respects except I cannot get the s/PDIF to output digital surround to my receiver, and, it does not seem to recognize and be able to play blu-ray movies.
I am coming from the windows world - where I have built a few MCPC's - and thought how nice it would be to do this with Ubuntu - I hope this is reasonable, and wanted to get help to make this happen - any ideas?
