Hi,

I made a fresh install of XBMC live 10.1 Dharma on this computer: nt330i
I made a lots of search on the internet, but no one could help me to configure the sound on my XBMC.:confused2:

First, i installed the ALSA drivers, and everything goes fine.
I had the sound on my headphones.

I want to configure my XBMC using only HDMIas the only sound output.

here is my config:

Code:

}
}

Code:

cedric@XBMCLive:~$ cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.!default {

   type plug
   slave {
       pcm "hdmi"
   }

}

Code:

and my alsamixer shows this:



I tried to configure XBMC with "hdmi"in audio output, adnoptical, and "analogique", but noway to get sound

1°)What do i need to setup in "AUDIO OUTPUT"

2°)What do i need to setupin Audio output device

3°) what doineed to putin "PassThrough" device?

I don't really understand if i need to reboot the OS each time i change a file like the asound.conf, andi need a simplecommand to test if the sound is okay or not...

Is it important to disable the AC3 capable receiver?
DO i need to disable the capable DTS receiver?
What's the consequences of disabling these options?

Thanks For your help.

S/PDIF is on Mute (MM) in Alsamixer.

Highlight S/PDIF and press "M" to remove mute. Should work.

S/PDIF or S/PDIF default?
DO i need to set to "green" the S/PDIF default?
(I already tryed to set to green the 3 S/PDIF, but no changes)

No, you shouldn't have to reboot. I believe you should also do a 'alsactl store' to save.
