[James Gauld]

Yes, I tried the following Slax module first of all:

http://www.slax.org/modules.php?action=detail&id=1063

with no success.

any other suggestions?

i've enabled iec958 mixer control, but cannot adjst it's volume. the
HDMI device does not have the "pvolume" capability. I don't know if
that's of any significance, but I'm in dark, uncharted territory here.
