Kryspy - see page 1 of this thread post number 2 for solution. If your getting an error then your doing something wrong I think.

DarthV - is that under XBMC Live ? it should work after you enable the adjust refresh rate in XBMC.

Picture is fine now for me, but the sound seems to be another matter:

**@adriele:~$ aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: VT1708S Analog [VT1708S Analog]
Subdevices: 2/2
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: VT1708S Digital [VT1708S Digital]
Subdevices: 2/2
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0
Subdevice #1: subdevice #1
card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI]
Subdevices: 1/1
Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

So that seems fine I guess. But then doing this;

********@adriele:~$ speaker-test -Dplughw:0,3 -c2

speaker-test 1.0.18

Playback device is plughw:0,3
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 64 to 16384
Period size range from 32 to 8192
Using max buffer size 16384
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 4096
was set buffer_size = 16384
0 - Front Left
1 - Front Right
Time per period = 5.633431
0 - Front Left
1 - Front Right
^C

And as far as I can tell, that seems ok. But still, no sound Sad Ill try the script thingie now. There is one thing I notice when checking alsamixer tho, and that is that I cant actually mute, or umute PCM.

A little sidenote tho, I know my reciever handles sound and video over hdmi, as the popcorn hour i had was connected like that.

Hackily: Could you take a picture of how your alsamixer looks?

Tested with xbmc live now, and set it to hdmi and no problem at all. Well, there was some sound lag on some of the series, but the music went totally fine. I dont get it. I also tried removing all the pulsepackages, but sudo apt-get remove pulseaudio* told me I had none installed apparantly. I am lost. So any help on how to make ALSA the default "thingie" for sound would be awesome, preferably with a way to disable pulseaudio if it is infact that causing it.

IT WORKS! YEY!

For anyone else having this trouble on their asrock ion 330 (or similars) try replacing both the passthrough and that other thingie where it says default to plug:hdmi

No need to run any updatescripts for alsa either, no need for the asound thingie either. Didnt do that this reinstall of the system (after I screwed up to much the last time I tried) God, what a relief!

Il televisore non supporta il 1080p @ 24Hz. Che non cambierà nulla. Se hai ancora problemi con 9.04.1 utilizzare il nuovo driver Nvidia e vedere se qualcosa cambia.

Oppure provare il rilascio ufficiale di XBMC in diretta sul sito web XBMC con VDPAU vecchi driver, ma è ancora supportato, ma le prestazioni non è così buona, senza nuovi driver.

Tank you so much for all Starstream

Nope, this is with a mini install of ubuntu. My xconf has no modelines in it at all.


- Kryspy - 2009-06-26 01:23

Fixed it. I think I left an extra space or something in my xorg.conf.

please i need help!!!!!!

Enable 1080p @ 24Hz for XBMC Live

>>X<< solution in shutdown

Then:
i do all like guide in the firs post:
run ubuntu “live” version without changing, Once Ubuntu is up & running click i go in Places and look for a hard drive, there is only one hard drive xbmclive_62, not two like the guide:
Places
.
.
Computer
.
.
xbmclive_62
.
.
so i go on xbmclive_62 and click on it, after i close browser window and i go in
Applications->Accessories and i click Terminal:
now i write gksudo nautilus and press enter, now another windows is opened,
i go in filesystem[/B[b]]/etc/x11 [/B[b]]/xorg.conf, and i open this with text editor,then i go in section device and i write:
Option “HWCursor”space “false”
after i go on Screen section and i write:
Option "DynamicTwinView" space "false"
then i save, close all and reboot.
When xbmc is run i go in setting settings->video->player and enable "adjust refresh rate" after i press z.
then when i shutdown and wake up xbmc whith remote control the X is there in the center of screen!!!nothing changed...!!!the same for Enable 1080p @ 24Hz..!!

I tried the guide 6 times , with space, no space, 9 ubuntu, ubuntu 8, nothing to do...nothing changed.
Is there another way to do this..?
Where i wrong..?
please help me....!!!!!

checco010,

In Xbmclive I never actually found a xorg.conf file. I copied mine from my full ubuntu install into the /Conf folder and made the changes.

I think you may think you are editing the XBMClive disk but you are actually editing the Ubuntu live disk which of course is pointless.

I am not a LINUX expert by any stretch so I may be full of $hit.

checco10 your TV does not support 1080P@24Hz it accepts the 24Hz signal but converts it to 1080p@60Hz according to online info.

checco10 il televisore non supporta il 1080p@24Hz accetta la 24Hz, ma converte il segnale a 1080p@60Hz, secondo le informazioni su Internet.

The guide(s) I wrote for XBMC Live assume that you have installed XBMC Live onto the hard drive of the Asrock Ion 330, if you have not done so run the XBMC Live CD and choose that option then proceed with the guide.

La guida(s), ho scritto per XBMC Live presumere che avete installato XBMC Live sul disco rigido di Asrock Ion 330, se ancora non lo hanno fatto correre il XBMC Live CD e la scelta di tale opzione, quindi procedere con la guida.

Kryspy did you try to edit the file before your first boot into XBMC Live I'm not sure if it makes any difference or not but maybe the file is generated after first loading of XBMC Live.


- Kryspy - 2009-06-27 00:23

Starstream,

The file doesn't exist on the USB install even after first boot. I went the Live USB root as I only use this as a HTPC appliance and didn't think I needed to use a 320 GB HD for a 2GB install.

Oh and P.S. to vdrfan..... read my post I did use the search function "I tried the XBMClive fix but I get a error on startup about the xorg.conf and have to reload the default." When in doubt maybe re-read Wink
