Resolved: No Sound In XBMC but OK in Windows - wdpcpa - 2014-05-31

Hardware and Software:
1. Acer RL100 with SATA replacing HDD
2. Yamaha RX-V671 AVP
3 . Connected HDMI
4. Windows 7 Home Premium 64Bit
5. Frodo 12.2 compiled May 2013
6. Transparancy V5.09
7. Debug link: http://pastebin.com/tQwVLwYw

Issue:

All of a sudden, I can’t hear any sound on anything in my library when played through XBMC. Things I played just a couple of days ago don’t have sound.

However, I can play the same files in VLC just fine. I have hit the + key just to make sure.

My setup is all HDMI and goes… Computer>AVP>TV (video) Speakers 5.1 (audio).

Audio setup is as follows:

I think maybe your problem is the audio output device and passthrough output device are set to DirectSound:SPDIF (and confirmed in your log) while what you want are probably
WASAPI:HDMI M421NV-1 (NVIDIA High Definition Audio).

Scott,

Thank you so much. That worked. My XBMC sound has been good for a year and I have no idea why it worked before. Or if the settings got changed recently, how that could happen. I read about WASAPI settings but I was sure it couldn't be that because I had not changed anything.

Many thanks for the quick reply.
