Important Note for ATI HD 5xxx series users: Stick to fglrx 11.11, as 11.12 is reported to not work on this series

Ah.. So there my issue then..i am using a 5450
Thanks gents!

well not sure about this. The issues we know of have been verified on hd 5500 and 5670 and are much worse then an occasional hickup/crash. With those cards video doesn't seem to play correctly at all.
It might be possible that 5450 is another gpu architecture(older) and is therefore not affected by this.
You could nonetheless try fglrx 11.11 and see if it solves the problem.

Thanks wsnipex
Just to let you know I've not experienced the same stutter issue tonight. Nothing has changed on my system so maybe it was just a once-off.

Try a custom device with:
plughw:1,0
Yesterday i was told to overwrite the .asoundrc to map this device as default - I am still thinking about how to do it - in order to change anything within xbmc.
Never the less you should get sound with plughw:1,0 which is your analog output.

Also check with alsamixer that this device is not muted or on a very low level.
New observations - flitter2009 - 2012-01-23
Hi,
Have spent the weekend doing some testing with the latest build and the new build seems to run really well! I've noticed that I get pixelation/weird fragments and lines whe I run 24p VC1 content on a 60Hz screen and on that screen with H264 or VC1 I get the huge CPU values that I've seen regularly.
Switching to a native 24p monitor for that content appears to let the CPU drop down after about 15minutes of playback, I can also run VC1 and H264 content with no issues. I also have no pause/resume issues which others are seeing.
Oh ... Using a 64bit build of Ubuntu instead of 32 seems to have a calming affect on the CPU too as I get lower values generally.
OS mounted NFS vs local file give the same results on my setup.
Hope this is useful ... Thanks again! This is certainly a huge step forward from VAAPI!

@fritsch and Fernetmenta:
I just want to thank you for your work on the xvba and ati sync implementation. With todays atifix I can watch 50hz dvds again with spline36 scaling. Before it has stuttered.
You really made my xbmc htpc system much better than before.
- flitter2009 - 2012-01-23
I should probably mention that the first file I played didn't play the sound. I had to go into the audio settings for the file and re-select the main audio stream (it's m2ts) ... Once I'd done that (and saved as default) I could hear sound okay.
- frawau - 2012-01-23
First thank you for this build... Great work, I finally got HW acceleration on my rig.
Here is my setup
MB: A75M-UD2H
CPU: A6
Display: HP 2509p (1920x1080) HDMI
OS: Ubuntu Oneiric (amd64)
Boot straight into XBMC (no display manage, no login)
Collection on NFS volume
I have been evaluating this platform to build a HTPC. I have used other XBMC builds, and I got sound working (analog, S/PDIF, HDMI), but had crashes when trying to play videos with graphic acceleration.
With this build, I finally can get video playing at decent speed. I have sound (only tried S/PDIF). Unfortunately, I find the image quality poor, on both SD and HD material. There is a lot of tearing.
For HD I used:
Big Buck Bunny (http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/download/) at 1080p
Babel (mkv rip 1080P)
The American (1080p)
All exhibited tearing (In Big Bucks Bunny, there is quite a bit of tearing in the opening images)
I also used some Music video (480/ mkv) and here too a lot of tearing
I tried 60 and 50 fps with no difference.
Any suggestion anyone? It looks to me as if AMD/ATI still has some work to do
Thanks again for your work.
Cheers,
François

Thx for your report.
Please enable "vsync always on" within xbmc. This should fix your tearting issues. Also the command from the firstpage: aticonfig --vs=on should help.
- carlsberg - 2012-01-23
hello , a noob question , what audio output device , and audio passthrough must i select .
It goes from ati hd6450 hdmi to onkyo 7.1 amp , i just want the hd audio .

Get into a shell and do
aplay -l
It should give you something similar to this
=======%<============%<=============
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: Generic [HD-Audio Generic], device 3: HDMI 0 [HDMI 0]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

card 1: Generic_1 [HD-Audio Generic], device 1: ALC889 Digital [ALC889 Digital]
Subdevices: 0/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
=======%<============%<=============
Take note of the card number and device number for the device you want (here 0 and 3 for the hdmi device)
Go into Setting/System/Audio Output
Select The audio (HDMI or Optical.. Not sure if it makes any difference)
Set the number of channels (7.1) and set the audio and passthrough devices to "Custom" with value plughw:<card nb>,<device nb>. In the example above that would be:
plughw:0,3
Reboot and check the settings... You should now have sound... just don't forget to tune your receiver to the proper channel
Cheers,
François
