Thank you. It really worked after trying a few times.
i am using 23161 and i have dts and fonts prolems. some movies reports failed to initialize sound device. after that xbmc doesn't show any fonts.
Hello,

DTS audio problems are solved with the latest 23164 packages.

But, unless I missed something, VDPAU is gone.

Edit: Reverted to 22278, VDPAU is back.
vdpau works here with 23164 but the total movie count is gone for me Smile
I just retried but with the Karmic built, I lose VDPAU.

in the "Videos/Player/Rendering" menu I don't have VDPAU anymore, just Software/Advanced Shaders/Basic Shaders.

Can someone else confirm this?

Yes, VDPAU is gone in rev 23164, at least on 64-bit Karmic.

I just compiled rev 23196, and VDPAU works in it, so just wait until the next time the ppa is updated.

No problem. I just wanted to mention it.

Thanks for confirming!
Is there a way to revert back to a previous version? I remember build 22118 where WMA Pro, DTS and Smoothvideo all seems to work, but I noticed the packages are gone..

Edit: I'm trying to compile XBMC from source using the following command: svn co https://xbmc.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/xbmc/trunk/ --revision 22118

Let you know how things worked out!

22118 isnt gone you just have to switch the view @ ppa.
Anyone else having sound problems, with the latest svn ppa build? Since i updated i can't get any sound at all from my box. And yes the fonts gets all fucked up from time to time.

I have tried everything from this thread but i just can't get any sound at all:

But the precompiled builds are gone: Like there is no file to found: xbmc-common_9.04.2+svn22118-jaunty1_i386.deb

I tried to compile the best working version (22118) for me, but I ran in a lot of issues (DirectFB, X errors etc).
Everyone is talking about reverting to old versions, but how exactly do you revert to an old version?

I want xbmc - 9.04.3+svn22528-jaunty2 back. I've already tried apt-get install but that didn't work. And also what's the difference between jaunty2 and jaunty1?

Thankful for any help, because right now i can't watch anything because i don't have any sound Sad.
run this and it should get you back to 22528 the last stable for jaunty

I have just listed the common packages, if you need iphone etc, update the script as neeed. hope this helps
Thanks, but after reverting i still get no freakin sound. I mean WTF? It was working fine before i updated.... I've tried everything, am i going to have to reinstall Ubuntu to get rid of this? Sometimes ALSA can be a real PITA.
have you tired the .asoundrc and speaker test thingy? search the forms for the exact syntax.
