@VanillaXtract: Can't find an option for that in the bios. Only serial ports which, from what I've understood, isn't exactly the same (?). I've trashed the minimal stick now and doing one for xubuntu... hopefully I can get it working. No chance on borrowing a PS/2 keyboard, not even at work

Big thanks for the help, I'm forever grateful. Will try to not fuck it up

Thanks for a great job.

I have used the "How to" to install XBMC on an Ubuntu Unity 13.10 desktop system. Some parts, related to xbmc user, was skipped during the installation.
It works fine with Pulseaudio enabled, but in this case I don't get support of the HD audio formats, as these aren't supported in pulseaudio. I am not able to set HDA ATI,@@@ in the settings.
When I purge pulseaudio I can enable HDA ATI,@@@ and play the HD formats.
However sound in other applications like Chrome and Spotify isn't working.
I fixed this by making a .asoundrc file in my home directory.
See example below. The content depends on the used hardware.
pcm,!default {
type hw
card 1
device 3
}

On my HTPC I have a Geforce GTX 520 card. I compile xbmc 13.0 from master 15/1 and on this system I am able to set the device that supports the HD formats even when Pulseaudio is installed. This is more convenient in case you want to look at some playTV channels or listen to Spotify on your best speakers.
Is this possible to achieve also with a Radeon card, or have I done the installation in the wrong way?

Jep all correct.

See the PulseAudio Sink FAQ and why I only enumerate exactly one "family". Your version of the 15.th does not have the Pulseaudio Sink. The PASink FAQ also tells how to get back the old behaviour (read the warnings carefully).

I had similar problem. After installed like that, with xbmc related session skipped, I had neither passthrough nor HD audio in the system setting

Quick question:

after installing rc8 kernel on e350 saucy x64 normal?

Another Question about DTS/DTS HD:
There is no need to tell xbmc the reciver can do DTSHD/TrueHD/AC3 as one has to do in the XVBA build?
DTSHD movies are played through passthrough (i think) because nither the dts logo nor the dtsHD logo show up in AMP.
Instead it states "pcm multichannel hdmi".

thank you in advance!

and 3.13 is released.
http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mai...13-trusty/

@ngxnam: Please read here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=183436 especially the FAQ and howto run xbmc, if you think you know it better :p
@Janosh: Check your gui settings, if you don't enable passthrough Multi Channel will be used.
@deadite66: Will update the howto, thx.


Edit: @Janosh: Remove your aticonfig from advancedsettings.xml :-)

When upgrading to 3.13 stable, make sure you remove the old kernels:


rc8 just as example, same for rc7, rc6, ... they would have priority cause of the longer name.

Totaly lost this, thanks vor the hint

Dear beloved users. Ubuntu needs some help:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sourc...ug/1002224

Thanks much.

Thank you guys, this guide has worked perfectly for me although I used Raring instead of Saucy. I did notice that the XML hasn't worked for me in terms of pulling the CPU/GPU temps from sensors, possibly due to a lack of support for my mobo in lm-sensors on Raring!?

It's quality support like this that makes a OSS project thrive imho!
