I can second that, I have the same board (Gigabyte MA78GM-S2H), I am running
Fedora 10 with the latest ATI drivers. It took a little playing about to get
everything to playback through the HDMI as default but once it was it works
brilliantly.

Subject: Re: [Freevo-users] HDMI output with audio in Linux?
Hi,
I have a Gigabyte motherboard (MA78GM-S2H) based on an AMD 780G chipset that
has an HDMI out. I've connected it to my LCD TV via HDMI and it works fine.
I've had to install Ubuntu 8.10 and the latest ATI drivers, though, to make the
sound work through HDMI.

All,
I've been thinking some more about my future Freevo machine, one that will
work with HD, and I think I have a cunning plan ;)
I would like to stick my PC in the cupboard. This allows me to do away
with my expensive and small media centre PC and have a high powered PC
which can sit in the understairs cupboard, using nice big low noise fans,
and generally be out of the way, this also lets me have a fast CPU and
decent graphics card for HD playback and possibly even some games. It also
gets around the expansion problem or having to have a case that looks good
in the lounge.
This means running all the output from the cupboard to the Telly :)
Looking around HDMI would seem to be the best way of doing this, I can
send stereo and digital audio over HDMI along with the video signal, and
have it automagically picked up by the TV. The digital audio can then go
into the amp and be turned into surround sound if required (when playing
back DVDs). Best of all long HDMI cables are fairly cheap, and it means
only running 1 cable.
Now this is all well and good in theory, but I cannot find much
information on how to achieve this, and certainly not in linux. There
appear to be a few cards out there with HDMI out for video but no way of
getting the audio into the HDMI signal.
Does anyone know of any video / sound card pairs that fit the bill, and
most importantly actually work on Linux!
Cheers.
