Ubuntu 11.04, XBMC no audio

boludiko · 2011-06-15 22:19

Hi all, after upgrade the alsa drivers and configure my system with this:

/etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf

options snd-hda-intel model=6stack-dig

/etc/asound.conf

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

pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
ipc_key_add_uid false
ipc_perm 0660
slave {
pcm "hw:0,3"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 4096
rate 48000
channels 2
}
bindings {
0 0
1 1
}
}

ctl.dmixer {
type hw
card 0
}

And change the file HDA-Intel.conf like this guide http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW...controller

I have sound on all my system (Youtube sounds too in firefox) but on XBMC doesn't.

My options on XBMC for sound configure are:

HDMI, Analogic Output, Coaxial or Optical.

How can i do?

Thanks to all...

I think it´s the same problem like in the previous versions of ubuntu with pulseaudio.
You must stop pulseaudio before starting XBMC.
Command: pulseaudio -k

You can put it in a start-script - it works perfect for me. At the end of script I startup pulseaudio - so when I end XBMC my sound works again for Ubuntu.

What does your 'aplay -l' show?

Just directly enter your sound sink as a 'other' in XBMC and be done with it.

does your system have sound? If not check to make sure you have the correct hardware selected ( you can select different configurations and test easily) also check to see if the sound is muted by the system.

Yes i have sound in all my system, i can play mp3 with banshee, videos with vlc, mplayer, totem, videos on youtube with firefox, and the ubuntu system sound too...
