Hi, 

what I like to have is BOTH analogue and digital paths available.

When I am in the room with the BV8 that the MacMini is connected to I usually listen via [PC] to activate LinkPlayer and listen digitally over HDMI.

But when I am in the other rooms of the house I use [N-MUSIC] to get analogue via the minijack to the BeoPort broadcast on the MasterLink.

Always happy to investigate other options ... B&O is so wonderfully rich in the way that one can connect & configure !

hello,

i found your post disheartening ; i had hoped to switch between hdmi sound for media center and analog sound for n.music. did you ever fond a workaround ? do you think that apple will correct the problem ? thanks for your feedback !

Hi Scott, I have been living with my workaround and I have not been testing to see if it has been fixed.  I can test on the weekend for you but I doubt it has gone away.  There is a new dot-release coming, and that may have the change we need but one is never sure when such releases will land.

hello,

here is another idea for a workaround, could you listen to mac mini audio by using [a-pc] on your link systems ? this assumes that you have split then dowscaled your hdmi source so it can be modulated.

i am looking at this because i do not have an audiomaster in my setup and i can not get linkplayer to work. it seems somehow less elegant than using beoport and n.music ... but any port in a storm.

what do you think ?

So Scott I eventually got a moment to rewire and test the setup.

Unfortunately Mac OSX 10.7.2 still has this behaviour ... I fire up LinkPlayer and it freezes on the System Configuration Sound panel ... I unplug the mini-jack and *blip* the selection of the HDMI automagically takes off ... and sound bursts forth

I think we have to hope for the new release which seems imminent as the MacRumors posts are reporting what looks like a stable Golden Release going through final shake down testing

Hi, where I have gone lately is to using BM-Link via the minijack to the BeoPort and that gives me Link Room music; I have my HDMI disconnected from the MacMini and instead use the ATV2 as the BeoVision multi-media interface rather than LinkPlayer ... partially because of this Mac OSX change and partially because I am getting more out of the ATV2 these days

I upgraded the MacMini to OSX LION 10.7.2 and suddenly found that no audio was coming out of the BV8.

I went down a number of wrong paths (cable borken, reset microcode, HDMI cable not matching HDMI 1.4 support, etc) before discovering it was a "feechure" that Apple introduced:
