[LINUX] 5.1 Analog Sound Issue - bolzerrr - 2011-01-01 Hi, i don´t get 5.1 analog sound working. My speakers are directly connected to my onboard sound card (3 plugs). In xbmc menusounds are working fine, but when i look a movie i only get background sounds. I tried every thing in the settings but i don´t get it working Speakertest works fine! Also i have 5.1 sound if i look tv with vdr.. Can someone please help me? aplay -l Code: *** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices **** aplay -L Code: null - bolzerrr - 2011-01-01 would that be a solution to have stereo hdmi sound and 5.1 analog sound? Code: # - bobo1on1 - 2011-01-01 Try setting the audio device in XBMC to plugurround51 - bolzerrr - 2011-01-02 just tried- but still only background sounds (speaker: 5.1, device: "plugurround51"). i have the feeling that it is more than before. but still no voices... - bobo1on1 - 2011-01-02 Please post a debug log. - Wozza_au - 2011-01-03 Hi maybe try exit out of xbmc and at the prompt type in alsamixer Make sure you have 6 speakers selected and that the center channel ect is not muted(use the m key to toggle mute ). Wozza - igneus - 2011-04-16 Me too having a problem with analog 5.1 output. I have Creative X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro USB sound card and there is no audio out-of-the-box in XBMC Live 10.1 ("Failed to initialize audio device"). I've managed to get sound in videos by setting audio output to custom ("surround51:CARD=Pro,DEV=0") but there's still no sound in XBMC menu and I can't tune up levels in Audio Mixer addon because it shows only IEC958. While aplay -L says the default device is X-Fi, it seems that HDMI audio or S/PDIF is actually set by default. I tried blacklisting snd_hda_intel kernel module but it does not help getting the sound in menu and there's now a blank screen in Audio Mixer. Another interesting fact is that everything is fine when I use X-Fi Titanium card but only until the first reboot. On the next boot for some reason I see 4 IEC958 controls instead of analog controls in Audio Mixer and there's no sound unless I set custom output device. This only happens in 10.1, not 10.0. Looks like it's related to some "bugfix" in 10.1 because everything worked fine in 10.0. Is there a way to change the default sound device? - igneus - 2011-06-15 Finally I changed the default audio device and got sound in menu. Here's the solution: create /etc/asound.conf file with following contents Quote:pcm.!default {This solution turns on analog audio on X-Fi Surroung 5.1 Pro USB audio card. I have ION2 motherboard so card 0 is NVidia HDA which cannot be disabled completely and card 1 is X-Fi Surround 5.1. The only problem is that I still cannot adjust audio levels in Audio Mixer or alsamixer (it says "this card does not have any controls"). Is this drivel-level limitation? EDIT: I actually had to instead put this into asound.conf: Quote:pcm.!default surround51roto have the correct 5.1 sound because the channels were messed up. - SteelWolf - 2012-01-12 bolzerrr's asound.conf file here is the only one that I can use to get sound to come out of the analog jacks on my setup. The mappings aren't quite right so I keep attempting to edit them but as soon as I do and reboot, I get "failed to load audio device." What am I doing wrong here? |
