    In /boot you have to create a file named config.txt with the following line

    hdmi_drive=2

     

    Before startx you have to run

    sudo modprobe snd_bcm2835

     

    Then it should run.

     

    Found the last tip in http://www.themagpi.com/ ,which is a good read and might become even better ;o)

    Great, typed in that command before the startx and now it works. Now to find out to do it so it boots with that command each time.

     

    Cheers

    When I go to save modules it says permission denied. How do I get it to save with permission? Seem to be having a lot of trouble with this as I am trying to setup a wi fi dongle and it won't let me drop a file in to a directory.

    Do I need to be an administrator ??

    Darren,

      you get administrator privileges by typing sudo

    before any command that would otherwise fail for

    lack of privileges.  sudo stands for either switch user

    and do, or super user and do, depending on who you ask.
