Having trouble with hdmi audio through alsa

Hi saladin
To exit to the console prompt:
Click on the  Exit  icon. Select the  Exit to Prompt  option. Click  OK.

Ok, I installed it from the command prompt and then started the GUI and did everything else as before, and I don't see any difference. I still don't have sound, except when doing that one particular speaker test.

Didn't see Rich's message until just now. I exited to the prompt with ctrl-alt-backspace rather than clicking the menu option, but I think it works the same?
