6. Create a script for launching XBMC like "start.sh" and set the executable flag. Content of the file is:
pulseaudio -k <<<<=======
xbmc
pulseaudio --start

-k => stops pulseaudio

It could be neccesary to take "pulseaudio --start" into autostart to get OS based sound-support when booting up.

type in
alsamixer

make sure your hdmi spdif are not muted on the far right.

http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=587800&postcount=290
then copy and paste these lines of code

Code:

[LIST]
[*]sudo rm /etc/asound.conf

[*]sudo rm /usr/share/alsa/cards/HDA-Intel.conf

[*]sudo wget http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=f5f9654bb -O /etc/asound.conf

[*]sudo wget http://pastebin.com/download.php?i=f2e38265 -O /usr/share/alsa/cards/HDA-Intel.conf

[*]sudo reboot
[/LIST]

also if you have a Ion 330 with Nvidia GPU you can use this
.asoundrc

file it works perfectly for me

Code:

pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
ipc_key_add_uid false
ipc_perm 0660
slave {
pcm "hw:0,3"
rate 48000
channels 2
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_time 0
buffer_size 4096
}
}

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
}

pcm.!hdmi-remap {
type asym
playback.pcm {
type plug
slave.pcm "remap-surround71"
}
}

pcm.!remap-surround71 {
  type route
  slave.pcm "hw:0,3"
  ttable {
    0.0= 1
    1.1= 1
    2.4= 1
    3.5= 1
    4.2= 1
    5.3= 1
    6.6= 1
    7.7= 1
  }
}

use these settings in xbmc
the perfect asound.conf http://flomaster.pastebin.com/HQtibwZ4
Audio Output: HDMI
Audio Output Device:HDMI
Passthrough: plughw:0,3
and if I want to get stereo sound to my zone two for backyard music I change to
Audio Output: plughw:0,0 and I get analog audio out of my green headphone jack.

my AAC tracks play on the correct channels.
mp3 audio is correct
DTS and Dolby Digital play as should.
all emulators play sound using this setup.

• Not a single nvidia driver in the 195.x range will give you multichannel sound
• No need to use the 185.x series though. Go newer. I currently use 260.19.26 which works fine
• Using this driver I didn't have any problems with channels switched around. No need to swap any files like asound.conf or HDA-Intel.conf files
• Using the test files listed in this thread, I had weird behavior with my ac3 and dts test files. All other files were fine, but when these would start to play I have my front speakers telling me they were the rear speakers. However, when I played them again they were just fine. that took me a while to realise though.
