Yesterday I compilled xbmc with AE - but I have some problem, when I play a movie it running so very fast 2-3x faster.
My audio device isn't initliaze, I put custome device: plughw:0,7, on distro xbmc this audio configuration it working.
I compiled xbmc with ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/xbmcAE --enable-vaapi --disable-pulse.
Below I past my xbmc.log: http://pastebin.com/wg4MQkWw

My HTPC:
Asrock Z68M-ITX/HT
i3-2100T (Sandy Bridge)

I think if you search this thread and the forum with "plughw" you'll find some answers, as a Custom audio device must be configured properly for your hardware, and this topic has been well discussed.

Hopefully this will help you or gniff track down the problem for me....

This log is opening DTS-HD MA, DTS-HD HRA and Dolby True HD streams but still any stream I play it shows as PCM and in the log it is showing that it failed to open passthrough


EDIT:

By the way this works:

Code:

aplay -D plughw:1,7 -c8 -fs16_le -r192000 thd.spdif
aplay -D hw:CARD=1,DEV=7 -c8 -fs16_le -r192000 thd.spdif

but this squeals back at me

aplay -D hdmi:CARD=1,DEV=1 -c8 -fs16_le -r192000 thd.spdif

This is with an NVidia 560TI

mightymouse2045 Wrote:Not wanting to be a pain but I have since set both audio output and pass through to custom and typed in "does this even work" for both

and funnily enough I still have audio - so I don't know what's happening but for some reason these options aren't even working for me and the audio device is being picked up elsewhere.

wingrunr21 Wrote:I think your issue is Pulse. I'm running a nVidia card directly to ALSA with a Custom device (hdmi:CARD=NVidia,DEV=1) and get everything working to my receiver. I did have issues with the newest nvidia drivers (295.20) so I am currently running 290.10. Only issue I have is DTS output is choppy as none other so I currently have that disabled and just output PCM to the receiver. It is odd since DTS-HD works fine but I figured it was a bug.

@people getting choppy video: the choppiness is because the audio output device could not be opened to play back your stream. I saw the same issues when I ran my ATI card and tried to play HD audio (ATI cards only support two audio channels via HDMI). You need to make sure you are sending sound out of the correct interface and/or you are modprobing to enable the digital audio features properly.

I still think your issue is Pulse. Backup and remove /etc/asound.conf, reboot, and see if you can get the passthrough to work.
