Are the RPMFusion drivers still way behind?
Define "way behind". They are at version 375.66-3. And 384.90-1 is in
updates-testing.
I raised this a while back and was told that they're not going to update until
audio over HDMI was fixed or similar...
Audion over HDMI is working just fine for me. I don't use it much since the builtin
speakers on my monitors aren't as good as my Bose speakers connected to my sound
card.
For this reason, I used the negitivo repo for nVidia drivers - as I don't use
any HDMI ports - or audio over them.
Another option. Whatever works for you.
