What's the output of aplay -l? You might need a custom asound.conf or .asoundrc file. The codecs between the two files are different. One is mp3 and the other is AC3. Check you xmbc log file and see if anything audio wise is failing as well.

Thanks!

Im new to XBMC Live and I do only use Window at regular bases so I need som help here.

What is aplay -l? How do I execute it?

I know how to activate the debug but how do I get it? I supose that the log will not be shared over SMB as default?

I have runned openElec before and the sound worked just fine there (with the same settings in XBMC).
