- kwstump - 2011-01-11 Works Great on XBMCFreak 10.00 V1 Dahrma final (Name is wrong but you get the point which one).. I did have to do the following for dependencies sudo service xbmc-live stop sudo add-apt-repository ppa:lucid-bleed/ppa sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install libmodplug1 libmodplug-dev libmodplug0c2 libssh-4 libssl-dev Then copied binary over existing file as mentioned above! (of course making a backup first) sudo reboot Voila it was there and ready to be configured! THANKS!!!!!!!! This is AWESOME! PS throught I would add my GUI settings as an FYI. Both on the Same Sound Card Output 1 - Optical to Stereo Output 2 - Stereo Output to House Audio System In the past I would get static on the Stereo Output when playing a multichannel audio, That is a thing of the past!!!!! <audiooutput> <ac3passthrough>true</ac3passthrough> <audiodevice>alsa:plug:iec958</audiodevice> <channellayout>7</channellayout> <customdevice></customdevice> <custompassthrough></custompassthrough> <dontnormalizelevels>true</dontnormalizelevels> <dtspassthrough>true</dtspassthrough> <mode>1</mode> <passthroughaac>false</passthroughaac> <passthroughdevice>alsa:iec958</passthroughdevice> <passthroughmp1>false</passthroughmp1> <passthroughmp2>false</passthroughmp2> <passthroughmp3>false</passthroughmp3> </audiooutput> <audiooutput2> <ac3passthrough>true</ac3passthrough> <audiodevice>custom</audiodevice> <channellayout>0</channellayout> <customdevice>plughw:0,0</customdevice> <custompassthrough></custompassthrough> <dontnormalizelevels>true</dontnormalizelevels> <dtspassthrough>true</dtspassthrough> <mode>0</mode> <passthroughaac>false</passthroughaac> <passthroughdevice>iec958</passthroughdevice> <passthroughmp1>false</passthroughmp1> <passthroughmp2>false</passthroughmp2> <passthroughmp3>false</passthroughmp3> </audiooutput2> - tequila - 2011-01-11 hmm couldn´t get it working on a pov mobii with ubuntu, libs missing... could install them but I am not sure if it makes sense when it ends in choppy playback.... some ION useres with success? - kwstump - 2011-01-11 @tequila. My video is not choppy (only watched 1 1080p movie so not exhaustive testing) but I am running a home made PC with a older Q6600 and a CrystalHD Card so that may be the difference between our installs. kevin - BullShaft - 2011-01-12 First post in this forum. I was SO waiting for a patch like this since I switched to Win7. Under XP, it worked to have the sound analog on zone 2, while providing zone 1 with digital SPDIF 5.1, but unfortunatelly not under Win7. Now it just replaced the xbmc.exe, configured and it worked instantly like a charm. Thx a lot! No choppy 1080i either so far Works great! - Cthugha - 2011-01-12 Works great! I'm now able to simultaneously output both 2ch stereo over HDMI to my TV and 5.1ch over S/PDIF to my reciever. No more manual switching This patch should be included into xbmc by default! Keep up the great work! - tequila - 2011-01-15 hmm all I get is this: error while loading shared libraries: libmodplug.so.1 trying to find this ...no luck yet except libmodplug0c2 and libmodplug-dev which both don't fix it ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Alright I am stuck... managed to install the libmodplug1 through a debian package so far so good xbmc launches again but no menu sounds and both devices fail so I tried a another asound.conf (from here: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=62919) but no real luck: I hoped to get at least the TOSlink to work with this. pcm.!default { type plug slave { pcm "both_digital" } } pcm.both_digital { type route slave { pcm multi channels 4 } ttable.0.0 1.0 ttable.1.1 1.0 ttable.0.2 1.0 ttable.1.3 1.0 } # Toslink digital_1 output pcm.digital_1 { type hw card 0 device 1 channels 2 } # HDMI digital_2 output pcm.digital_2 { type hw card 0 device 3 channels 2 } pcm.multi { type multi slaves.a { pcm "digital_1" channels 2 } slaves.b { pcm "digital_2" channels 2 } bindings.0.slave a bindings.0.channel 0 bindings.1.slave a bindings.1.channel 1 bindings.2.slave b bindings.2.channel 0 bindings.3.slave b bindings.3.channel 1 } I have to admit, that I am a linux idiot I don´t really know what I am doing ;-) For people like me there is a button in the setup required like "test audio device" ... with a sound). Anyway, someone who is able to point me into the right direction? You ION people know about it, this is what the audio devices look like: card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 0: ALC662 rev1 Analog [ALC662 rev1 Analog] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 1: ALC662 rev1 Digital [ALC662 rev1 Digital] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 card 0: NVidia [HDA NVidia], device 3: NVIDIA HDMI [NVIDIA HDMI] Subdevices: 1/1 Subdevice #0: subdevice #0 Anyway, my alsamixer just shows: Master, Headphone, PCM, Front, Front Mi, Surround, Line, Mic, Mic Boos, S/PDIF, S/PDIF D, S/PDIF 1, Beep where I cannot modify the S/PDIF items and there is no coax/tos listed Since with the original xbmc.bin I have menu sounds but when playing a movie fails now too, maybe it is a good idea to get back to the roots (yes I am willing to understand what is actually going on): 1. What is actually required by xbmc? asound.conf, alsamixer, what else ? 2. Belongs tos/coax to s/pdif ? So do I have to get s/pdif (thought thats only the 3,5mm jack) running to get tos/coax working ? sigh... I´ll do some more sound tests outside xbmc now - digzz - 2011-01-16 Does this work with the latest XBMC Live ? - scrumpydrinker - 2011-01-21 Yes Just replace your already installed xbmx .exe file with the relevant '10.0-Dharma Final:' one from the first post inthis thread. - scrumpydrinker - 2011-01-21 For anyones infomation: I tried nessus's set up from a few posts back but not all files played ok I ended up with: FIRST AUDIO OUTPUT Audio Output : HDMI Speakers Configuration : 2.0 DD AC3 capable NO DTS cabable NO Audio Output Device : DirectSound Nvidia HD SECOND AUDIO OUTPUT Audio Output : optical/coax Speakers Configuration : 5.1 Boost Volume YES DD AC3 Capable YES DTS Capable Yes Audio Output Device : DirectSound Realtek Digital Output SYSTEM SETUP XBMC Dharma (Latest) Acer Revo R3700 Windows 7 Enterprise 32bit This gives me sound to the TV over HDMI and 5.1 or stereo to my Denon receiver over optical - digzz - 2011-01-22 scrumpydrinker Wrote:Yes Where in xbmx .exe file xbmc live would you put the file? are you sure this works with live ? all I see is windows and linux. sharing a patched version - phyrros1 - 2011-01-26 Hi Guys, Since I am not capable to patch and compile a source code, would somebody might share a ready installable version of Dharma Final for Windows ? I need this second audio output so bad but I do not know how to get it Thanks a lot Rgds Phyrros - OriginNG - 2011-01-26 phyrros1 Wrote:Hi Guys, Just install the regular Dharma Final for Windows and replace the executable with the version you can download from the first post. So, replace C:\Program Files\XBMC\XBMC.exe with XBMC.exe from the rar archive. Regards, Joop - digzz - 2011-01-26 What About xbmc Live? - tequila - 2011-01-26 Alright, for all of you with trouble on nvidia ion based systems. This is far from perfect but it works (though no menu sounds). My System is a 330 POV Mobii. This is for having Digital Audio on HDMI AND Coax/Optical on an ubuntu based system 10.04.1 LTS (if you don´t know your version use at console: echo -e $(cat /etc/issue)|head -1). First of all I got rid of Pulse-Audio. (This might be a problem for some of you but it turned out that only without it it works for me. This is what aplay -l returns: Code: **** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** I am only interested in device 1 and device 3 So I picked this asound.conf and put it into /etc I don´t have any further configs like .asoundrc, just this asound.conf and I have to learn whats actually going on to have real 7.1 Code: pcm.!default { Everything about device 0 could be left out but it doesn´t hurt me so I left it as it is. Next step is to fix it for 7.1 dts. The config in the patched xbmc is as follows: First device is HDMI 7.1, everything checked, device hdmi passthrough hdmi. Second Device is Optical/Coax 7.1, everything checked, custom device (important) receiverhw which is Nvidia Audio device 1. Same to passthrough. Now music and Video works fine. I can toggle between hdmi and optical on my onkyo 7.1 receiver. The idea behind it is to have audio no matter what display device is connected. Up to now I had no sound when I switched to the beamer which is not yet HD/Hdmi capable. Next step is to understand EVERYTHING in asound.conf. I´ll let you know once I found out :-) Hope this is useful for some of you. Btw, I didn´t notice any stuttering in HD playback yet. digzz: live is linux afaik - phyrros1 - 2011-01-27 OriginNG Wrote:Just install the regular Dharma Final for Windows and replace the executable with the version you can download from the first post. Joop, you are star. Thanks a lot for the hint. Phyrros |
