Wrong audio config. Set it to 2.0 disable passthrough and retry.

Btw. you are using an EDID overwrite - why?
Thanks for your fast response.
According to Xbmc Settings, Audio Config is and was 2.0 with passthrough disabled.
I turned off "adjust refresh rate" and "sync to Display" and it seems the Problem is gone. Maybe my tv doesnt Support the fps or something, altough i'm not sure why it sometimes works.

EDID: I didn't even knew what this is. Why do you think it is overeritten? The tv is a 4-5 Year Old lg lcd
Jep, I looked again. Not a config problem. We are currently tracking a similar problem. Btw. do you have any chance to test this OpenELEC build: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/5572...a1cd76.tar

If that works I have an idea.
fritsch a suggestion for a feature.. configoption to add what framerates you want to switch to using "adjust framerate" and what to nor adjust framerate to Smile
@Fritsch:

I use xbmc from a desktop on my lcd monitor, the previous version worked just fine. I never had "adjust refresh rate" and "sync to Display" enabled, i checked it again and acording to the gui they are off.
I compiled the fernetmenta, and fritsch branches then the vanilla xbmc, all have the same issue.
The only way i could have some audio is to use the physical device, but that gives distorted sound and hogs the device. I have 2.0 audio and no passthrough set, i even recreated the ~/.xmc folder but no change.
I have mesa, kernel, drm, glamor compiled from git. Hardware is Radeon HD 8570D (A8-6500 APU), running Debian Testing 64 bit.
And another thing i found:
xbmc doesnt quit (the gui closes, but the process remains) - pavucontrol shows an open alsa stream and if i terminate it, xbmc closes.

already possible via <adjustrefreshrate> in advancedsettings.xml

We don't support pulseaudio yet. And the second one is handled on the very first post. Disable the Update Checker. If this does not help, it's another Addon.

Well it was a pulseaudio related issue.I had to launch xbmc with
Code:
PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=0 xbmc
And now it works.

You mentioned earlier that if everything works fine you will close this topic. What is the next one you want to resolve?
ubuntu enabling vdpau by default in mesa would be the next thing, maybe in ubuntu 14.04.

I'm hoping for a default install of 14.04 LTS with a good version of mesa and kernel. So far the trusty PPA shows mesa 10.0.1 and 3.13 but not sure about the mesa version if it will be the same as wsnipex with patches.
Installing packages from a ppa is not that hard, so future looks pride :-)
